True or false? Efficiency is a ratio of the work obtained from a system to the work put into the system.
True! Efficiency is the ratio of work obtained rather than lost.
True or false? A lever is considered a simple mechanical system.
True! The lever was the first documented mechanical system.
True or false? A system has three parts, input, process, and output.
True, systems, if built right will only have 3 functions/parts to the process.
Not all systems are man made some systems occur naturally.
True! Some systems in fall into ecosystems, and weather systems
True or false? A system requires a process to be classified as a system.
True, Without the process there would be no point in a system.
True or false? The input is what comes out of a system, and output is what is put in the system.
True or false? Was Archimedes the one who created the first mechanical system.
True! Archimedes was the one to create the lever.
True or false? The process of a system always has a start and end.
True or false? Your human body is considered a system.
True, your body is considered a open system
True or false? Does the solar system classify as a system?
True, its in the name, the solar system has components such as planets, making it classify as a system
A system must have more than one component to be considered a system.
True! Without at least 1 component the object wouldn't be classified a system
True or false? A bicycle is a mechanical system
True, A bike is a mechanical systems, it has components and is a system.
True or false? The main idea of a process is to output a desired item.
True, the process of a system will output an item.
True or false? A system failing only occurs when the entire system stops working.
False, only one component is required to fail to make the system go into system failure
True or false? All systems have an exact purpose.
True! most systems have an exact purpose.
True or false? The purpose of a system is explained by its function.
True, the function of the system describes a system
True or false? Mechanical systems cannot include electrical parts
False! Mechanical systems can contain any component.
True or false? If a process is turned automatic could it improve the accuracy of the system?
True! If the automation process is done correctly, there would be less option for human error.
True or false? System must always be mechanical.
False! System can be digital mechanical and natural.
True or false? Is the solar system the most well known system.
True. The solar system is the most well known but the internet comes in at a close second.
True or false? All systems have a goal or purpose.
True, if a system didn't have a goal, what would be the point of a system?
True or false? Mechanical advantage allows machines to reduce the amount of input force needed.
True! the input force will be reduced by the mechanical advantage.
True or false? Outputs from one process can become inputs to another.
True! This can happen, almost close to being like an assembly line.
True! Because an assembly line has a input and an output
True or false? An input must be physical.
False, the internet is a good example on how inputs and systems don't need to be physical.
