The SI system uses (1) for mass and (2) for weight (force). - ✔✔1) Kilograms
2) Newtons
Mass is a constant property of an object where (1) varies with gravitational
field. - ✔✔1) weight
What is a metric ton? - ✔✔A metric ton also known as a tonne, is 1000 kg
What is a kip? - ✔✔The abbreviation "kip" is used for "kilo-pound": 1000
pounds of force
What basic SI unit is equal to kg*m^2/s^2 - ✔✔Kinetic energy is calculated in SI
units as (1/2)mv^2, with units of the joule
Which of the following is false for an identity matrix, I?
(a) I is a square matrix
(b) All entries in I are zero, except the entries whose row and column numbers
are equal
(c) all nonzero entries are equal to 1.
(d) AI=A^-1 - ✔✔The main property of an identity matrix is that AI=A. Therefore,
choice (d) is false

,Which of the following statements is true for a power series with the general
term aix^i?
I. An infinite power series converges to for x<1
II. Power series can be added together or subtracted within their interval of
convergence.
III. Power series can be integrated within their interval of convergence
(a) I only
(b) II only
(c) I and II
(d) II and III - ✔✔Power series can be added together, subtracted from each
other, differentiated, and integrated within their interval of convergence. The
interval of convergence is -1 < x <1. Therefore the answer is D
What is a matrix? - ✔✔A matrix is an ordered set of entries arranged
rectangularly and set off by brackets.A matrix itself has no particular value, it is
merely a convenient method of representing a set of numbers.
When can you multiple two matrices together? - ✔✔A matrix can be multiplied
by another matrix, but only if the left-handed matrix has the same number of
columns as the right-hand matrix has rows.

, True or False: Addition and subtraction of two matrices are possible only if both
matrices have the same size and shape? - ✔✔True
What is an identity matrix? - ✔✔The identity matrix is a diagonal matrix,
meaning that it is a square matrix with all zero entries except for the aij entries,
for which i=j. All nonzero entries are equal to one, and the matrix has the
property that AI=IA=A
