Mechanical Systems
What is the fulcrum?
The three elements of a behavior based program are:
What is sensing, arbitration, and actuation?
Converts fluid power to mechanical power.
What is an actuator?
Two objects at a different temperature will exchange energy until they reach thermal equilibrium. This is known as.
What is the Zeroth Law of Thermodynamics?
E = IR
What is Ohm's Law?
A drawn rubber band is an example of something that stores this.
What is potential energy?
This temporarily stores templates.
What is a buffer?
States that for an inviscid flow of a non-conducting fluid, an increase in the speed of the fluid occurs simultaneously with a decrease in pressure or a decrease in the fluid's potential energy.
What is Bernoulli's Principle?
The randomness in a system is known as:
What is entropy?
What is solder?
A combination of fixed and movable pulleys.
What is a block and tackle?
A speed limit or stop sign would be an example of this.
What is a soft limit?
The pressure of a given mass of gas varies directly with the Kelvin temperature when the volume remains constant.
What is Gay-Lussac's Law?
A system in which the pressure remains constant is called an.
What is an isobaric process?
A circuit that allows multiple loads to function even if one is disrupted.
What is a parallel circuit?
A ramp or a slope that reduces the force you need to exert to lift something.
What is an inclined plane?
A problem that occurs when output values exceed the acceptable range.
What is saturation?
A measure of a fluid's thickness or resistance to flow.
What is viscosity?
Upper limit of efficiency for all heat engines; it depends on the temperature difference between input and exhaust.
What is ideal efficiency?
When a charged object is brought near certain uncharged objects, it will attract them.
What is electric induction?
A movable disc or platform that fits inside a closed cylinder.
What is a piston?
These lift designs consist of linkages.
What is a four bar lift/scissor lift?
A valve that allows flow in one direction but prevents flow in the opposite direction.
What is a check valve?
A device that transfers heat out of a cool environment and into a warm environment.
What is a heat pump?
These are the two purposes of electricity.
What is an energy source and a signal?
