What is (z5)4?
To raise a term with an exponent to another exponent, retain the base and multiply the exponents:
(z5)4In electrical wiring, which of the following are proportional?
the diameter of the wire and the amount of the current
Current flow through a wire increases the temperature of the wire. If too small a wire is used, the wire will heat up causing a loss in conductivity and possibly a fire. The thicker in diameter a wire is, the more current it can carry without overheating.
The vehicle's computer system gets data from:
sensors
Sensors provide the data necessary for the vehicle's computer to make decisions and monitor everything from simple vehicle information like tire pressure to complexities like the chemical content of an engine's exhaust.
Reproductive haploids are also known as:
gametes
Reproductive (haploid) cells known as gametes have half as many (23) pairs of chromosomes as normal (diploid) cells. When the male gamete (sperm) combines with the female gamete (ovum) through meiosis to form a zygote, each gamete supplies half the chromosomes needed to form the normal diploid cells.
Two or more pulleys used together are called:
block and tackle
Two or more pulleys used together constitute a block and tackle which, unlike a fixed pulley, does impart mechanical advantage as a function of the number of pulleys that make up the arrangement. So, for example, a block and tackle with three pulleys would have a mechanical advantage of three.
Which of the following would be found on a reflecting telescope?
concave mirror
A concave (or converging) mirror bulges inward and focuses reflected light on the mirror's focal point where the mirror's angles of incidence converge. In contrast, a convex (or diverging) mirror bulges outward and diffuses the light waves that strike it. A common use of a concave mirror is in a reflecting telescope, a common use of a convex mirror is in the side view mirror of a car.
In the foood chain, producers serve as a food source for other organisms. Typical producers are plants that can make their own food through photosynthesis and certain bacteria that are capable of converting inorganic substances into food through:
chemosynthesis
Producers (autotrophs) serve as a food source for other organisms. Typical producers are plants that can make their own food through photosynthesis and certain bacteria that are capable of converting inorganic substances into food through chemosynthesis
As part of digestion, the liver produces bile which breaks down:
fat
The liver produces bile which emulsifies (separates) fat.
Which of the following regulates the flow of coolant through the radiator?
thermostat
The thermostat controls coolant (and, through it, engine) temperature by regulating the flow of coolant through the radiator. A bypass tube allows coolant to bypass the radiator and flow back into the water pump when its temperature is low enough that the thermostat is closed.
If BD = 22 and AD = 29, AB = ?
The entire length of this line is represented by AD which is AB + BD:
AD = AB + BD
Solving for AB:AB = AD - BD
