Calculating Bend Allowance for Press Brake Forming
Introduces two methods of determining bend allowance; one is simple and is an approximate, the other is more precise. Interactive part has learner calculate bend allowance and blank size.
The Mathematics of Buying: Putting It All Together
Learners tackle this interactive learning object after studying the mathematics of buying. This activity ties together the ideas of net cost, list price, trade discounts, cash discounts, net cost equivalent, and single discount equivalent, as well as the concepts of part, base, and rate.
Learners explore the use of complex numbers through a series AC circuit analysis problem. The steps are compared to the graphical method of finding circuit impedance and the phase angle.
Learners follow an EMT response at a restaurant involving a woman with slurred speech who has weakness on her right side. Students examine response procedures, resources, and medications.
By playing a game of tic-tac-toe, a student can review what happens to currents and voltages throughout a parallel LC circuit when the applied frequency increases from 0 Hz toward resonance.
Automotive Electrical Systems: Effects of a Rheostat in a Series-Parallel Circuit.
Learners examine the current and voltage changes in a series-parallel circuit as the resistance value of a rheostat is varied. Illustrations and calculations are included.
Normally Open vs. Normally Closed Pressure Control Valves
In this animated activity, learners examine the operation of normally open and normally closed valves used in hydraulics. A brief quiz completes the learning object.
