Springs used in machines are usually made of - steel
A clutch is a type of - coupling
A single block-and-fall is called a - runner
The mechanical advantage of the block-and-tackle arrangement shown below is - 2. Because this block-and-tackle arrangement merely changes the direction of the pull, it has a mechanical advantage of only 2.
If a house key, a wooden spoon, a plastic hanger, and a wool jacket are all the same temperature, which one feels the coldest? - The key will feel coldest because metal is a better conductor than the other materials
A way to determine the amount of power being used is? - The formula for determining power is Power = Work ÷ Time.
A wood tool, a silver tool, and a steel tool are placed in boiling water for cleaning. Which tool gets the hottest? - Silver is the best conductor, so it becomes hottest
If an alternator overcharges the battery, a likely explanation is - The voltage regulator isn't working properly
A primary advantage of the electronic ignition system over conventional ignition systems is - The electronic ignition system provides a higher voltage
The primary purpose of piston rings is to - seal the combustion chamber and allow the pistons to move freely
Connecting rods connect the piston to the - crankshaft
In an overhead valve system (OHV), what mechanism opens and closes the valves? - rocker arms
The difference between a single-acting and an opposed piston engine is - Single-acting piston engines have one piston per cylinder and opposed piston engines have two
A car equipped with limited-slip differential - transfers the most driving force to the wheel with the greatest amount of traction
Soft brake-pedal movement can be caused by - air in the hydraulic brake system
