Answer:

Part A

The core technologies are the technologies which make other technologies work or perform their desired tasks

Examples of core technologies and where they exist are;

Thermal technology, which is the technology involving the work production, storage, and transfer using heat energy, exists in our refrigerators, heat engine, and boilers

Electronic technology is the technology that involves the control of the flow of electrons in a circuit through rectification and amplification provided by active devices. Electronic technology can be located in a radio receiver, printed circuit boards (PCB), and mobile phone

Fluid technology is the use of fluid to transmit a force, provide mechanical advantage, and generate power. Fluid technologies can be found in brakes, automatic transmission systems, landing gears, servomechanisms, and pneumatic tools such as syringes

Part B

The core technologies are the subsystems within the larger systems that make the larger systems to work

The thermal technology in a refrigerator makes use of the transfer of heat from a cold region, inside the fridge, to region of higher temperature, by the use of heat exchange and the properties of the coolant when subjected to different amount of compression and expansion

The electronic technologies make it possible to make portable electronic devises such as the mobile phones by the use miniaturized circuit boards that perform several functions and are integrated into a small piece of semiconductor material

Fluid technologies in landing gears provide reliable activation of the undercarriage at all times in almost all conditions such that the landing gears can be activated mechanically without the need for other source of energy
