Unit 1
An external force applied to an object.
What is an Effort Force?
System where action performed is entirely based on initial input. no feedback from the output is used to modify the input.
What is an open loop system?
The negatively charged subatomic particle that can freely move between atoms.
What is an Electron?
Light emitted by the sun and converted to electricity by solar panels.
What is Solar Energy?
Q=V/t
What is the Flow Rate Equation?
When gears are meshed in a row, each having its own axis.
What is a Gear Train?
System where the output is dependent on feedback. this system is more complicated than an open loop system as it requires a sensor of some sort and additional coding.
What is a closed loop system
A mechanical function that operates through the force of pressurized liquid.
What is a Hydraulic system?
A material’s ability to resist elastic deformation when stress is applied to it. It is measured from the ratio of the increment of some specified form of stress to the increment of some specified form of strain.
What is Modulus of Elasticity?
σ = F/A
What is the Stress Equation?
The use of heat from within the Earth or from the atmosphere near oceans.
What is Geothermal Energy?
The ability to produce a desired or intended result.
What is Efficacy?
A mechanical function that operates through the force of pressurized gas.
What is a Pneumatic system?
A method of analysis of trusses which constructs free body diagrams of each joint and determines the forces acting in that joint by considering equilibrium of the joint pin.
What is Method of Joints?
∑CLVRoads
What is the CLV Intersection Equation?
Resistance force/effort force = FR/FE.
What is AMA Formula?
Data classification algorithm that attempts to determine what group a data point is in by looking at the data points nearest to it.
What is a KNN?
They have multiple flow paths and can be broken in some areas and still work.
What is a Parallel circuit?
Made of plant materials, known as biomass, and vegetable oils.
What are Biofuels?
ΔL (change in length) / L0 (initial length)
What is the Strain Equation?
First class lever in static equilibrium has a 75lbs resistance force and a 25 lbs effort forte, the effort force is located 6ft from the fulcrum. What is the actual mechanical advantage?
What is 3? (75/25)
A subfield of AI, and broadly describes the variety of ways that computers are given the ability to learn. Three types are supervised, unsupervised, and reinforcement.
What is Machine Learning?
Req = R1 + R2 + ... + Rn
What is the Equivalent Resistance equation?
Created by harnessing energy in the nucleus of an atom through nuclear fission.
What is Nuclear Energy?
Qavg=∑Qi/n
What is the Average Flow Rate Equation?
