What is meant by matter? ✔Correct Answer-Anything that occupies space and has weight
The boiling point of a given liquid varies ✔Correct Answer-Directly with pressure
How do you calculate work? ✔Correct Answer-Work is calculated as Work = Force x Distance
if a double acting actuating cylinder in a 3,000 psi system has a piston with a surface area of 3 sq
in on the extension side, and a rod with a cross section area of 1 sq in attached to the piston on
the other side, approximately how much force will the actuator be able to produce when
retracting? ✔Correct Answer-6,000 pounds
2 sq in x 3,000 psi = 6,000 pounds of force
What are the 3 basic physical states in which matter can exist? ✔Correct Answer-Solid, liquid,
gas
How much work did Lindsay do when she applied a 5 N force to a shopping cart at Thom Thumb
for 16 meters? (Show work, don't forget units) ✔Correct Answer-Work = Force x Distance
Work = 5 x 16 Work = 90 joules
the boiling point of a given liquid varies ✔Correct Answer-directly with pressure
An engine weighs 350 pounds is removed from an aircraft by means of a mobile hoist. The
engine is raised three feet about its attachment mount then moved forward 12 feet. A constant
force of 70 pounds is required to move the loaded hoist ✔Correct Answer-840 foot pounds
What is meant by pressure? ✔Correct Answer-Force that acts on a unit of area
Name the 4 types of simple machines discussed in class, sketch one example and explain how
we use them to make work easier to accomplish. ✔Correct Answer-
the three methods of heat transfer are ✔Correct Answer-convection
conduction
radiation
, How much work input is required to lower a 120 pound weight form the top of a 3 foot table to
the floor ✔Correct Answer-360 foot pounds
in physics, which of the following factors are necessary to determine power ✔Correct Answer-
Force, distance, and time
an engine that weighs 350 lbs is removed from an aircraft by means of a mobile hoist. the
engine is raised 3 feet above its attachment mount, and the entire assembly is then moved
forward 12 feet. a constant force of 70lbs is required to move the loaded hoist. what is the total
work input to move the hoist? ✔Correct Answer-840 foot pounds.
12 feet and a constant force of 70lbs is needed.
12 x 70 = 840 foot pounds
What are the two advantages of using simple machines to help you do work? ✔Correct
Answer-The two advantages of using simple machines are making work easier, use of less force.
What is the standard sea level atmospheric pressure expressed in inches of mercury, and in
pounds per square inches? ✔Correct Answer-29.92 inches of mercury and 14.69 pounds per
inch
What characteristics of the atmosphere determines the speed of sound? ✔Correct Answer-
Temperature
What is the general disadvantage of using simple machines to help you complete work?
✔Correct Answer-The amount of distance required to move an object will be increased.
which condition is the actual amount of water vapor in a mixture of air and water? ✔Correct
Answer-absolute humidity
Which of the following is Newtons First law of motion ✔Correct Answer-Every body persists in
its state of res, or of motion in a straight line, unless acted upon by some outside force
What is meant by the density of air? ✔Correct Answer-The weight of a given volume of air
Why would you use a single pulley if it requires the same amount of effort force as no pulleys?
✔Correct Answer-Use of a single pulley will change the direction of the effort force applied.
under which conditions will the rate of flow of a liquid through a metering orifice ( or jet) be the
greatest ( all other factors being equal) ✔Correct Answer-unmetered pressure, 17 psi;
metered pressure, 5 psi; atmospheric pressure, 14.7 psi.
What force must be applied to roll a 120 pound barel up an inclined plane 9 feet lone and 3 high
✔Correct Answer-40 pounds (L/I=R/E
