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. The return to the input of a part of the output of a machine - system - or process






2. A written plan that identifies a problem to be solved - its criteria - and its constraints.






3. Graphical representation of a material's mechanical properties






4. The measure of resistance to heat flow






5. Creating - designing - and transmitting technical information so that people can understand it easily and use it safely - effectively - and efficiently.






6. The state when objects are not yet in motion

22. Operational techniques necessary to satisfy all quality requirements; includes process monitoring and the elimination of root causes of unsatisfactory product or service quality performance






23. A body subjected to pull.






24. The collection and analysis of numerical data in large quantities






25. Machining a surface to size with a fine feed produced in a lathe - milling machine - or grinder






26. A toothed wheel whose teeth engage the links of a chain.






27. A sketch that shows an object's height - width - and depth in a single view.






28. A force system where all of the forces are applied at a common point on the body or having their lines of action with a common intersection point.

35. Two different sized circular objects that are attached together and turn as one.






36. A rigid bar used to exert a pressure or sustain a weight at one point of its length by the application of a force at a second and turning at a third on a fulcrum.






37. The calculated likelihood that a given event will occur






38. A form of energy that travels through space as waves.






39. A law that states all natural processes proceed in a preferred direction






40. Every body or particle continues at a state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line - unless it is compelled to change that state by forces acting upon it.

43. The elements - constituents - or substances of which something is composed or can be made; matter that has qualities which give it individuality and by which it may be categorized






44. A mathematical property of a cross section that is concerned with a surface area and how that area is distributed about a centroidal axis.






45. A group technique for solving problems - generating ideas - stimulating creative thinking - etc. - by unrestrained spontaneous participation in discussion






46. The direction of a vector is defined by the angle between a reference axis and the arrow's line of direction.






47. A mechanical property of a material that shows how effective the material is absorbing mechanical energy without sustaining any permanent damage
