An induction clutch works by - -magnetism
-If a first class lever with a resistance arm measuring 2 feet and an effort
arm measuring 8 feet are being used, what's the mechanical advantage? - -

-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

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

punch
-Nail sets are used to - -set nails below the surface of the wood
-A ripsaw cuts - -with the grain of the wood
-A bucking bar is used to - -drive rivets
-Washers that have teeth all around the circumference to prevent them
from slipping are called - -shakeproof washers
-Ohm's law states - -Voltage = Current × Resistance. V=IR
-An electromagnetic-induction device usually has which of the following
materials in its core - -iron
-How many diodes should you expect to find in a bridge rectifier? - -A bridge
rectifier is also known as a full wave rectifier, usually containing 4 diodes
-Another name for cycles per second is: - -hertz
-When current flows through a wire, the following influences are present - -
voltage, ohms, amperes
-Millihenries are related to - -inductors
-Radar can operate at frequencies as high as - -100,000 MHz
