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.

18. The process of adding the information contained - for example - in the human voice to a suitable electromagnetic carrier






19. The recording of human or animal movement by any means - for example - by video - magnetic or electro- mechanical design






20. Pleasure derived from the sensory organs - including pleasures connected with touch - taste - smell and sensual pleasure






21. The number of bits per second produced by a digital system

24. All aspects of the processing - preparation - storage - cooking - and serving of food to make sure that it is safe to eat






25. Z axis for depth - X and Y for direction of cut e.g. milling - routing - engraving






26. The resistance a material offers to penetration or scratching






27. The use of computers to aid manufacturing






28. Low levels of food intake - which can be transitory (as a result of crisis) - seasonal or chronic (when it occurs on a continuing basis)






29. Someone who needs some convincing before embracing technological change.






30. Costs that vary with output - for example - fuel or raw materials.






31. The costs that must be paid out before production starts - for example machinery. these costs do not change with the level of productions






32. A conscious act either to ensure a continuing market or to ensure that safety factors and new technologies can be incorporated into later versions of the product






33. Excessively high amount of body fat in relation to lean body mass. a body mass index of more than 30 is defined as obese by the World Health Organization






34. A sugar alcohol with three hydrophilic alcoholic hydroxyl groups. it is an important component of triglycerides (fats and oils) and phospholipids






35. The angle of taper - expressed in degrees (usually 5






36. The class of materials that are continuous filaments or are in discreet elongated pieces - similar to lengths of thread with a length to thickness ratio of at least 80






37. A functional prototype - or a functional appearance model - is a prototype that 'looks like' and 'works like' a production product. although they are made from prototype materials - these models simulate actual finishes and colours as well as mechani






38. X and Y axes for cutting e.g. CNC Lathe






39. The production of large amounts of standardized products on production lines - permitting very high rates of production per worker






40. A measurement of the relative percentages of fat and muscle mass in the human body - in which weight in kilograms is divided by height in metres and the result used as and index of obesity






41. This covers all activities from design to documentation. It also includes the regulation of quality of raw materials - assemblies - products and components - services related to production - and management and inspection processes.






42. Resources that are naturally replenished in a short time.






43. Long- term aims and objectives of a company and ways of achieving them by allocation of resources
