Introduction To Engineering - 7

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. Work divided by time






2. Which is not a true statement about gears?






3. Models that function and look like the finished product but are usually hand- built






4. The study of how human beings best interact with technology






5. Energy may change form but the amount of energy remains the same






6. Two gear wheels that intermesh in the same plane - regulating the speed or force of motion and reversing its direction






7. A shaft with a screw thread that meshes with a toothed wheel to alter the direction of motion - and change the speed and force






8. A lever in which the fulcrum is between the effort and the load






9. An inclined plane which is wrapped around a cylinder

20. A pulley that changes direction of effort but provides no mechanical advantage






21. Force times distance






22. The energy of motion






23. The improvement of things already invented






24. A pulley that makes work easier






25. The ability to do work






26. A wheel fixed to a support with a rope that is run over the wheel to change the direction of a force applied to the rope

28. The generation of ideas for solutions by a group is known as






29. A bar or rod that tilts on a pivot - or fulcrum






30. More than one pulley working together






31. A machine in which a lever rotates around a fixed point






32. A lever in which the fulcrum is at one end - and the load is at the other end






33. The force (push or pull) used to do work






34. The planned process of change






35. Ways of overcoming difficulties






36. The process of how solutions to problems are developed is






37. The metric unit for measuring work






38. A bar or rod that tilts on a pivot - or fulcrum - used to overcome a resistance or to raise a weight when force is applied is a
