how does a belt system work

 transmits power between two or more shafts using pulleys and an elastic belt.

100

bump switch

devices used to make or break connections in an electric circuit.

100

what is resistance force


force that a machine is lifting 



100

What is absolute 0

0 degrees Kelvin

200

is the speed of the motor affected  by the battery power

 the speed of the motor will depend on the kind of battery that's powering it.

300

purpose of a while loop

to repeat a specific block of code an unknown number of times, until a condition is met

300


what is The push or pull of an object to change its velocity

force

300

does thermal energy flow from hot to cold or cold to hot

hot to cold

300

renewable  

A resource that can be replaced when needed.

400

how does a sprocket differ from gears

advantages

disadvantages

 sprockets are never meshed together directly

No Slippage-transmit motion to several shafts

Less load capacity- lubrication- noisy 

400

propose of robot c motor and sensors setup window

allows you to configure your specific robot's motors and sensors

400

 What is effort force

force applied to a simple machine from the user

400

what is study of relations between heat, work, temp, and energy

thermodynamics

400

joint

The connection points of members of a truss.

500

how does a belt/pulley system differ from gears

advantages

disadvantages

A pulley allows you to have more distance between the wheels axes, but they transmit less torque compared to gears. 

quiet in operation, require no lubrication, and are relatively cheap to produce 

 slippage,  ratio cannot be guaranteed, high torque cannot be transmitted, and the efficiency is low;

500

what is a natural language

a language that has developed naturally in use (as contrasted with an artificial language or computer code).

500

what unit to we measure work in

joules

500

what is energy contained in a system that is responsible for its temperature

thermal energy
