Subject : engineering
Instructions:
  • Answer 50 questions in 15 minutes.
  • If you are not ready to take this test, you can study here.
  • Match each statement with the correct term.
  • Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.

This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.
1. An orbit in which a satellite orbits Earth at the same rate as Earth rotates and thus stays over the same place all the time






2. Difference/original






3. Occurs when the metal is hammered by a vertically moving tool onto a stationary tool






4. Degradation of a signal as it travels over a cable. Attenuation increased with higher frequencies






5. Field winding parallel to armature winding. Bad for direct coupling






6. Low pressure

7. x<0.15% carbon. ferrite. good for cold working - rolling sheets






8. 0.15%<X<0.3% carbon. more pearlite - most common steel. weldable up to 0.2 used in structures






9. Controlled cooling after heating metal to attain a degree of hardness. removes internal stresses






10. A cable made of optical fibers that can transmit large amounts of information at the speed of light






11. 0.3%<X<0.6% carbon. mostly pear- lite - heat treatable. 0.4 used in axles






12. Based on the principle that magnetic materials will have distorted magnetic fields in the vicinity of material defects






13. Area parallel to force






14. An orbit less than 1 -500 km. above the Earth's surface.






15. AC to DC






16. A method of transmitting signals by changing the frequency of a wave






17. Steel reinforcing rusts - rust has a greater volume concrete then breaks of as a result.






18. High pressure

19. Dye is sprayed onto a surface - with excess being wiped away - meaning any left on the piece would be in cracks that exist in it. A developer is then added to it to expose any left over - I.e in the cracks






20. Mass X gravity X height






21. A strong hard building material composed of sand and gravel and cement and water






22. Softening a material such as metal by controlled heating and cooling. This makes the metal less brittle and more easily adaptable. Soaking till austenite then cooling slowly. large grains






23. Allows for another signal to be sent along the carrier signal






24. Glass that is strengthened by introducing stress through rapid heating and cooling of the glass surfaces






25. Between 2000-35 -700km above the earth's surface.






26. Hard - brittle






27. Hard - strong






28. Being forced - under pressure - through a hole like toothpaste. either hot or cold






29. Resulting from exposure to oxygen in the atmosphere - chemical fumes - steam - flue gas. creates a layer of metal oxide.






30. Better properties that would come from machining






31. X<1% silicon no graphite - has carbon/carbide. very brittle






32. 1GHZ






33. Produces; harder - stronger and less ductile product






34. Soft - ductile






35. Maximum bending moments X distance to natural axis/ second moment of area






36. 1/2Xmass X velocity X velocity






37. Majority silicon X>1.5% for graphite. Graphite in flakes that cause stress points






38. 0.6%<X<1% carbon. almost entirely pearlite with cementite x>0.8% for high strength and wear






39. Use of xrays passed through the material to make a visual record of internal structures on specially sensitized film






40. 100GHZ+






41. Involves heating the piece above Red heat and then letting it cool in air. causes smaller grains






42. 10MHZ






43. Good toughness and fatigue. high strength structures






44. Supply current to the rotating commutator from an external source






45. Resulting from exposure to damp environments and liquids.






46. Ma/vr x 100/1






47. Area load piston/area of effort piston






48. A method of transmitting signals by changing the amplitude of a waves






49. Results from the changing anode and cathode regions over the entire surface






50. Can only be softened once - bonded strongly - generally stronger that thermoplastics. stronger secondary bonds
