Two gears are connected and the smaller gear drives the larger gear. The speed of rotation will __________ and the torque will __________.
decrease, increase
Connected gears of different numbers of teeth are used together to change the rotational speed and torque of the input force. If the smaller gear drives the larger gear, the speed of rotation will be reduced and the torque will increase. If the larger gear drives the smaller gear, the speed of rotation will increase and the torque will be reduced.
Too much fuel results in a __________ air-fuel mixture that burns quicker and cooler.
rich
The stoichiometric ratio defines the proper ratio of air to fuel necessary so that an engine burns all fuel with no excess air. For gasoline fuel, the stoichiometric ratio is about 14.7:1 or for every one gram of fuel, 14.7 grams of air are required. Too much air results in a lean air-fuel mixture that burns more slowly and hotter while too much fuel results in a rich mixture that burns quicker and cooler.
Convert 5C° to F°.
41
To convert from C° to F° use:
\(F° = {9 \over 5}C° + 32\)
\(F° = {9 \over 5}(5) + 32\)
\(F° = {45 \over 5} + 32\)
\(F° = 9 + 32 = 41\)
"An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force." This describes which of Newton's laws of motion?
first
Also known as the law of inertia, Newton's first law of motion states that An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
Solve for z:
z2 - 5z - 6 = 0
The first step to solve a quadratic equation that's set to zero is to factor the quadratic equation:
z2 - 5z - 6 = 0
(z + 1)(z - 6) = 0
For this expression to be true, the left side of the expression must equal zero. Therefore, either (z + 1) or (z - 6) must equal zero:
If (z + 1) = 0, z must equal -1
If (z - 6) = 0, z must equal 6
So the solution is that z = -1 or 6
These clouds grow upward and can develop into cumulonimbus or thunderstorm clouds.
cumulus clouds
Cumulus clouds are large, puffy, mid-altitude clouds with a flat base and a rounded top. These clouds grow upward and can develop into a cumulonimbus or thunderstorm cloud.
Which of the following is the smallest component of an element that still retains the properties of the element?
atom
An atom is the smallest component of an element that still retains the properties of the element.
If the length of AB equals the length of BD, point B __________ this line segment.
bisects
A line segment is a portion of a line with a measurable length. The midpoint of a line segment is the point exactly halfway between the endpoints. The midpoint bisects (cuts in half) the line segment.
Direct current flows from the __________ terminal of the voltage source to the __________ terminal.
negative, positive
Direct current flows in only one direction in a circuit, from the negative terminal of the voltage source to the positive. A common source of direct current (DC) is a battery.
