Which of the following is the formula for power?
\(P = {w \over t}\)
Power is the rate at which work is performed or work per unit time: \(P = {w \over t}\) and is measured in watts (W).
A welding rod provides:
the joining material for a weld
The joining material for a weld is called a welding or filler rod and is available in a variety of diameters and alloys for different welding tasks.
What is the potential difference in an electrical circuit a measure of?
the voltage at a specific location in the circuit
Electrons flow from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. A high voltage indicates a high concentration of electrons that creates a greater potential for electron flow than a low voltage. When applied to a load, voltage creates electricity and potential difference is the measure of voltage at a specific location in an electrical circuit.
"The acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object." This describes which of Newton's laws of motion?
second
Newton's second law of motion states that The acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object. This law basically means that the greater the mass of an object, the more force is needed to overcome its inertia.
This circuit diagram represents a(n):
series circuit
A series circuit has only one path for current to flow. In a series circuit, current (I) is the same throughout the circuit and is equal to the total voltage (V) applied to the circuit divided by the total resistance (R) of the loads in the circuit. The sum of the voltage drops across each resistor in the circuit will equal the total voltage applied to the circuit.
What is 7\( \sqrt{4} \) x 6\( \sqrt{4} \)?
To multiply terms with radicals, multiply the coefficients and radicands separately:
7\( \sqrt{4} \) x 6\( \sqrt{4} \)
(7 x 6)\( \sqrt{4 \times 4} \)
42\( \sqrt{16} \)
Now we need to simplify the radical:
42\( \sqrt{16} \)
42\( \sqrt{4^2} \)
(42)(4)
168
Which of the following states of matter exists at the lowest temperature?
solid
Solids exist at a lower temperature than liquids which exist at a lower temperature than gases.
Heredity is the passing on of physical or mental characteristics genetically from one __________ to another.
generation
Heredity is the passing on of physical or mental characteristics genetically from one generation to another. Heredity is made possible via large strings of chromosomes which carry information encoded in genes.
