Energy Applications
The transfer of heat within an object or between objects by molecular activity, without any external motion.
What is conduction?
The center of mass of a geometric object of density.
What is a centroid?
The fixed point where a lever rotates.
What is a fulcrum?
Any source of energy other than fossil fuels that is used for constructive purposes.
What is alternative energy?
The "Q" in the following equation: P = Q/^T
What is energy transfer?
This equation: I = bh^3 / 12
What is moment of inertia?
The ratio of useful energy output to total energy output.
What is efficiency?
This is the first step in the design process.
What is define the problem?
The measure of resistance to heat flow.
What is R-value
Lacking in movement or action.
What is static?
The external force applies to objects.
What is effort force?
A type of journal that serves as both an archival recording of research and a repository for solution ideas that are generated throughout the design process.
What is an engineering notebook?
The field of physics that deals with the relationship between heat and other properties (such as pressure, density, temperature, etc.) in a substance.
What is thermodynamics?
If the base length of a square is 10, what is the x bar centroid?
What is 5?
Also known as the six simple machines.
What are lever, wheel & axle, pulley, inclined plane, wedge, and screw?
The measure of thermal resistance used in the building and construction industry.
What is R-value?
A triangle has an x bar axis of 9, what is the length of the base?
What is 27?
A term used in physics to describe a situation in which the total forces acting on an object are at rest add up to zero
What is static equilibrium?
General limits that are imposed on a design project.
What are constraints?
