When two lines intersect, adjacent angles are __________ (they add up to 180°) and angles across from either other are __________ (they're equal).
supplementary, vertical
Angles around a line add up to 180°. Angles around a point add up to 360°. When two lines intersect, adjacent angles are supplementary (they add up to 180°) and angles across from either other are vertical (they're equal).
The intake ports on the cylinder heads is fed outside air via the:
intake manifold
The intake manifold distributes outside air to the intake ports on the cylinder heads. The intake air filter removes any airborne contaminants before the air enters the engine.
Using a fuse with a current rating higher than that required by a circuit:
makes the circuit less safe
A fuse is a type of low resistance resistor that stops current flow in a circuit in response to a larger than intended electric current flow. Using a fuse with a higher current rating than required by a circuit is less safe as it could potentially allow overcurrent and risk a fire or heat-related equipment damage.
The measure of how much of the power put into a machine is turned into movement or force is called:
efficiency
The efficiency of a machine describes how much of the power put into the machine is turned into movement or force. A 100% efficient machine would turn all of the input power into output movement or force. However, no machine is 100% efficient due to friction, heat, wear and other imperfections that consume input power without delivering any output.
This diagram represents two parallel lines with a transversal. If z° = 40, what is the value of b°?
For parallel lines with a transversal, the following relationships apply:
Applying these relationships starting with z° = 40, the value of b° is 140.
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.
Inductance is a factor in which of the following?
an AC circuit
Inductance is a property of an AC circuit (or a component in an AC circuit) that quantifies resistance to changes in current. The current in an AC circuit is continuously changing and inductive reactance (the opposition to change) depends both on the inductance of the circuit or component and the rate at which the current is changing.
The steering __________ transfers the motion of the steering gear output shaft to the steering arms that turn the wheels.
linkage
The steering linkage is a system of pivots and connecting parts between the steering gear and the control arms. The steering linkage transfers the motion of the steering gear output shaft to the steering arms that turn the wheels.
Which of the following states of matter exists at the highest temperature?
gas
Solids exist at a lower temperature than liquids which exist at a lower temperature than gases.
