Civil Engineering
This force pulls objects toward the center of Earth
What is gravity?
The unit measures electrical current.
What is an ampere (amp)?
This is the “brain” of a computer that executes instructions.
What is the CPU?
This force opposes the motion of two surfaces sliding against each other.
What is friction?
This is a step-by-step set of instructions used to solve a problem or complete a task.
What is an algorithm?
Engineers use this material, made primarily from cement, water, and aggregates, to contruct many building and bridges.
What is concrete?
In a series circuit, if one component breaks and creates an open circuit, what happens to the current through the rest of the circuit?
The current stops flowing
This number system uses only 0 and 1 and is fundamental to digital computers.
What is binary?
This simple machine consists of a rigid bar that rotates around a fixed point.
This programming language is widely used in artificial intelligence, data science, automation, and beginner programming.
What is Python?
What is trigonometry?
According to Ohm’s Law, if voltage is 12 V and resistance is 4 Ω, what is the current?
What is 3 amps
A computer has 8 GB of RAM. Is RAM considered volatile or nonvolatile memory?
What is volatile?
According to Newton’s Second Law, force equals mass multiplied by this quantity.
What is acceleration?
What is the output of this code?
x =5
x+3
print (x)
what is 8?
What is the name for the underground structure that supports a building?
What is foundation?
Which device converts mechanical energy into electrical energy
What is a generator?
What component of a computer is primarily responsible for rendering graphics and performing many parallel calculations?
What is the GPU?
This concept describes an object’s resistance to changes in its motion.
What is inertia?
What data structure stores items in an ordered collection that can be accessed by position?
What is an array/list?
This type of load is caused by the weight of the structure itself, while this other type comes from people, furniture, vehicles, or other temporary forces.
What is dead load/live load?
What device converts electrical energy into mechanical energy?
What is a motor?
A CPU’s clock speed is commonly measured in this unit, with modern processors often operating at several billion cycles per second.
What is gigahertz (GHz)
A gear with 20 teeth drives a gear with 40 teeth. Compared with the smaller gear, how fast does the larger gear rotate?
Half as fast
What does a boolean value represent?
What is true or false?
