_____ is the measure of how much force acting on an object causes that object to rotate.

Gearboxes can be used to change which of the following on a rotating shaft?

A hybrid engine system is a power transmission that uses only one source of power.

Integrated circuits have allowed electronic devices to become smaller but now use far more energy to operate.

Many projects that civil engineers design are used to control natural resources.

_____ is the process of taking and using measurements to determine the exact size and shape of a piece of land.

Tension is a crushing force down the axis of a material that presses it together, resulting in shortening the material.

Who is the largest employer of civil engineers?

_____ is the study of how air flows around solid objects.

A(n) _____ is the shape of an airplane’s wing.

_____ is the forward force that moves an aircraft through the air.

Which of the three cars in the graph to the right accelerates most rapidly between 0 and 8 seconds?

Which of the following statements best describes Car 3's motion between t=8 seconds and t=16 seconds?

If car 1 continues to accelerate at 3.75 mph/s, how fast would it be going at t=20s?

A good rule of thumb is to design the horizontal stabilizer so that its area is about 1/6 to 1/8 of the area of the wing. If the area of the wing is 110.25 cm2, what should the area of the horizontal stabilizer be?

The law of conservation of energy states that energy cannot be created or destroyed. It can only be converted from one form to another.

An example of a series circuit would be which of the following?

Select one of the following items that best represents a chemical action that generates energy?

Kinetic energy is energy in motion. Once a rubber band is released, the potential energy is converted to kinetic engergy.

Which of the following examples of simple machines best represents a lever?

Hydraulic power is best used when a large amount of force is required, because liquids are not as compressible as gases.
