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. A push or pull on an object.






2. The ability to do work.






3. The ratio of the force produced by a machine or system (the load) to the force applied to the machine or system.






4. The distance in a strait line from the center of a circle to the circle circumference






5. A machine consisting of two turning objects attached to each other at thier centers. One object to turn






6. The science of designing gone or work environments that best suit the human body in it various dimensions.






7. A system in which a gas - such as air - transmits a force exerted on gas in an enclosed space.






8. Energy is transferred from one plan to another - and no energy is changed or converted.

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






11. The distance between adjacent threads in a screw.






12. A machine used for raising or moving liquids.






13. One of a pair of gears used to connect two shafts whose axes intersect.






14. A gear with teeth that fits into the links of a chain.






15. The part of a machine which contains two or more pieces arranged so that the motion of one compels the motion of the others.






16. The that has a handle because of a motoe or person turning it.






17. A machine consisting of a small cylinder - a crank or handle - on a cable. Winch can be used to lift or pull things






18. A way to measure stuff.






19. The member of a pair of gears to which motion and power are transmitted by the other. The output gear.






20. Stored energy






21. Acts on a certain area.






22. A small cogwheel that engages or is engaged by a larger cogwheel.






23. A joint that allows connected shafts to spin freely while permitting a change in direction.






24. The results of the operation of any system.






25. The gear being turned buy the driver gear






26. The application of force that moves an object a certain distance.






27. The weight of an object that is is moved or lifted by a machine - or resistance to movement that a machine must overcome






28. The quantitative relation between two amounts showing the number of times one value contains or is contained within the other.






29. Circular movement.






30. The force acting perpendicular to a certain surface area.






31. The work done on a machine as the input force acts through the input distance






32. A machine consisting of a bar that is free to rotate around a fixed point - changing the amount of force that must be exerted to move an object.






33. A device used to regulate the flow of a liquid in a hydraulic system.






34. A secondary or subordinate system that is part if a larger system.






35. Movement in a straight line.






36. Opposite in position - direction - order or effect.






37. The ratio of the useful work or energy provided by a machine or system with the actual work or energy supplied to the machine or system.






38. Measurement for work






39. A back and forth movement.






40. The point of the lever that does not move.






41. A rotating gear that meshes with a bar that has gear teeth along its length. Changes rotating motion into linear motion.






42. A combination of fixed and movable pulleys - may be used to list very heavy or awkward loads.






43. A swing back and forth at a regular rate.






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






45. A combination of two or more gears used to transmit motion between two rotating shafts or between a shaft and a slide.






46. A pear- shaped disk with an off- center pivot point - used to change rotating motion into reciprocating motion.






47. Something put into a system - such as resources - in order to achieve a result.






48. A pivot pin near the outside edge of a wheel or disk that changes reciprocating motion into rotary motion.






49. A rotating wheel- like device with teeth around the rim.






50. A law stating that when pressuer is exerted on on part of a fluid - the same pressure is transmitted unchanged to all parts of the fluid - no matter what the shape of the container holding fluid. EX: water balloon.
