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 social science that deals with production - distribution - and consumption of goods and services






2. The transmission of power between shafts by means of a belt connecting pulleys on the shafts






3. The ability to do work






4. Some factor that restricts the scope of activity or accomplishment






5. A swing back and forth at a regular rate






6. A mechanical arrangement consisting of a toothed wheel driven by a short revolving cylinder bearing a screw thread






7. A person who writes and tests computer programs






8. The gear which transmits power and motion to the rest of the system. The input gear






9. The distance between adjacent threads in a screw






10. The component of a robot that comes into contact with the work piece and does the actual work on it. Also known as the hand






11. The effect or influence of one thing on another. Some impacts are anticipated - and others are unanticipated.






12. A gear between the driver and the driven gear used to change rotational direction






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






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






15. Operated by the action of water or other fluids






16. A toothed wheel that works with others to alter the relation between the speed of an engine and the speed of the driven parts






17. A step- by- step procedure for solving a problem - especially by a computer






18. Conforming to a established set principles or accepted professional standards or conduct






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






20. The space within which a robotic arm can move






21. Shorthand notation for programming which uses a combination of informal programming structures and verbal descriptions of a code.






22. A turn where one wheel rotates and the other stays in place - causing the robot's body to 'swing around the stationary wheel






23. The results of the operation of any system






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






25. The people available for work in a particular area - firm - or industry






26. Locating and finding the cause of problems related to technological products or systems






27. Circular movement






28. A connected flexible series of links used for fastening or securing objects and pulling or supporting loads






29. Information about the output of a system that can be used to make adjustments






30. The ratio of the speed of the driving member of a gear train to that of the driven member






31. Try our a new procedure - idea - or activity






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






33. Using descriptive text to explain portions of code. Comments do not change the way a robot behaves - but are important for the programmer to remember what the code does.






34. Anything your robot does; turning no a motor is a behavior - following a line is a behavior - navigating a maze is a behavior






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






36. Containing - producing - arising from - or actuated by electricity






37. The ability to bring a desired result with the least waste of time - energy - or material






38. Programs and other operating information used by a computer






39. A robot is a machine that performs complicated tasks and is guided by automatic controls






40. A push or pull on an object






41. The efficient production of small amounts of products






42. A building or set of buildings with facilities for manufacturing or producing goods






43. Information fed into a system






44. The rewriting or revising of a sequence of instructions - especially a computer program






45. Movement in a straight line






46. The process of detecting and eliminating a device's malfunctions






47. A sensor used to measure the angular position of the axle or shaft passing through its center






48. A control flow statement that allows code to be executed repeatedly






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






50. A twisting force
