What is work?
The movement of an object by a force
Work is accomplished when force is applied to an object: W = Fd where F is force in newtons (N) and d is distance in meters (m). Thus, the more force that must be applied to move an object, the more work is done and the farther an object is moved by exerting force, the more work is done. By definition, work is the displacement of an object resulting from applied force.
Sam can do 50 ft. lb. of work in 2 minutes and 5 seconds. What would Sam have to do to increase his power output?
do the work in 2 minutes
Power is the rate of doing work or \(\frac{W}{t}\). To increase power, increase the work being done in the same amount of time or do the same amount of work in less time.
Elements that belong to the same period in the Periodic Table of the Elements have the same number of:
electron shells
The rows of the Periodic Table are called periods and contain elements that have the same number of electron shells ordered from lower to higher atomic number.
Spark plugs receive current from the:
distributor
Spark plugs receive current from the distributor and use it to spark combustion in the combustion chamber of a cylinder.
One Horsepower (hp) is equal to how many watts?
746
Power is the rate at which work is done, P = w/t, or work per unit time. The watt (W) is the unit for power and is equal to 1 joule (or newton-meter) per second. Horsepower (hp) is another familiar unit of power used primarily for rating internal combustion engines. 1 hp equals 746 watts.
The fuel pressure regulator ensures that the fuel injectors receive fuel at a consistent and known rate. The fuel pressure regulator is part of the:
fuel rail
The electric fuel pump feeds pressurized fuel through a fuel filter to the fuel injectors via the fuel rail manifold. The fuel rail contains the fuel pressure regulator which ensures that the fuel injectors receive fuel at a consistent and known rate. Excess fuel bled off by the pressure regulator returns to the fuel tank through the fuel return line.
The valence shell of a conductor is how full of electrons?
less than half full
Conductors are elements that allow electrons to flow freely. Their valence shell is less than half full of electrons that are able to move easily from one atom to another.
