__________ is caused by a lack of iron in the diet.
anemia
Anemia, which may cause weakness, dizziness, and headaches is caused by a lack of iron in the diet.
What is 7a3 + 7a3?
To combine like terms, add or subtract the coefficients (the numbers that come before the variables) of terms that have the same variable raised to the same exponent.
7a3 + 7a3 = 14a3
What's the name of the low-voltage winding in the ignition coil?
primary coil winding
The ignition coil is a high-voltage transformer made up of two coils of wire. The primary coil winding is the low-voltage winding and has relatively few turns of heavy wire. The secondary coil winding is the high-voltage winding that surrounds the primary and is made up of thousands of turns of fine wire. Current flows from the battery through the primary coil winding which creates a changing magnetic field inside the secondary coil. This induces a very high-voltage current in the secondary coil which it feeds to the distributor.
Which of the following is not part of an engine's cooling system?
air conditioner
The purpose of an automobile engine's cooling system is to circulate coolant around the engine so it can absorb and dissipate heat. The water pump pumps coolant through the various components in the system and the radiator cools down coolant after it has heated up after passing through the engine. The thermostat controls the flow of coolant based on engine temperature while the cooling fan draws air through the radiator when the car isn't moving fast enough for unforced air to cool things down on its own.
Another name for the powertrain control module is the __________ control unit.
engine
The main computer or powertrain control module (PCM) uses pre-programmed software to analyze the input received from sensors and produce output signals to adjust vehicle performance and operation. (Engine control unit (ECU) is another name for the PCM.)
How many 2\(\frac{1}{2}\) gallon cans worth of fuel would you need to pour into an empty 20 gallon tank to fill it exactly halfway?
To fill a 20 gallon tank exactly halfway you'll need 10 gallons of fuel. Each fuel can holds 2\(\frac{1}{2}\) gallons so:
cans = \( \frac{10 \text{ gallons}}{2\frac{1}{2} \text{ gallons}} \) = 4
The conductivity of an element depends on how many electrons occupy which electron shell?
outer
All electricity is the movement of electrons which are subatomic particles that orbit the nucleus of an atom. Electrons occupy various energy levels called shells and how well an element enables the flow of electrons depends on how many electrons occupy its outer (valence) electron shell.
