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.

16. A 10 m long steel pipe when heated to increase its temperature by 85






17. Resistance to corrosion and oxidation at high temperatures - improves toughness - prevents brittleness at low temperatures - increases strength without affecting toughness - amounts range from 1-4% - high impact resistance at amounts as high as 36% -






18. Is a number that appears naturally in some higher- level mathematics is 2.71828 (correct to 5 decimal places)






19. Is the heat being added or removed to/from a substance without a change of state - still having a changing in temp






20. Force - work done - power - mechanical efficiency






21. Force






22. Refers to change in the position of the body - relative to some reference point - not concerned with actual distance traveled - a vector quantity with magnitude and direction






23. Ability to withstand deformation above elastic limit under compression without failure






24. The act or process of measuring
