Torque involves a perpendicular force applied to a lever arm that moves around a center of rotation. Increasing the length of the lever arm will do which of the following?
increase torque
Torque measures force applied during rotation: τ = rF. Torque (τ, the Greek letter tau) = the radius of the lever arm (r) multiplied by the force (F) applied. Radius is measured from the center of rotation or fulcrum to the point at which the perpendicular force is being applied. The resulting unit for torque is newton-meter (N-m) or foot-pound (ft-lb).
Order the following types of angle from least number of degrees to most number of degrees.
acute, right, obtuse
An acute angle measures less than 90°, a right angle measures 90°, and an obtuse angle measures more than 90°.
The respiratory and circulatory systems are similar in that they:
transport oxygen
Like the respiratory system, the circulatory system serves to transport oxygen throughout the body while removing carbon dioxide. In addition, the circulatory system transports nutrients from the digestive system.
What provides the power necessary to start a car?
battery
The battery supplies the power necessary to start the engine when the ignition switch is is turned on.
Use Ohm's Law to calculate the value of voltage in this circuit if resistance is 10 Ω and current is 2.5 amps.
Ohm's law specifies the relationship between voltage (V), current (I), and resistance (R) in an electrical circuit: V = IR.
V = \( I \times R \) = \( 2.5 \times 10 \) = 25 V
Saturated fats can __________ LDL ("bad") cholesterol while unsaturated fats can __________ it.
raise, decrease
Saturated fats can raise LDL ("bad") cholesterol while unsaturated fats can decrease it.
The work done by the sum of all forces acting on a particle equals the change in the kinetic energy of the particle. This defines which of the following?
work-energy theorem
The work-energy theorem states that the work done by the sum of all forces acting on a particle equals the change in the kinetic energy of the particle. Simply put, work imparts kinetic energy to the matter upon which the work is being done.
