Instructions:
  • Answer 16 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. A simple machine that consists of a wheel over which a rope - chain - or wire passes






2. A machine made of more than one simple machine






3. Simple machine consisting of a bar free to pivot about a fixed point called the fulcrum.






4. The transfer of energy to an object by using a force that causes the object to move in the direction of the force






5. A type of simple machine that consists of an inclined plane wrapped around a cylinder






6. The work done by a machine; the product of the output force and the distance through which the force is exerted






7. The work done on a machine; the product of the input force and the distance through which the force is exerted






8. A simple machine that is made up of two inclined planes and that moves; often used for cutting






9. A number that tells how many times a machine multiplies force.






10. A quantity - usually expressed as a percentage - that measures the ratio of work output to work input; it can be calculated by dividing work output by work input.
