________________ is done whenever a force moves an object a distance.
Load
Friction
Force
Work
How can simple machines make work easier?
by decreasing the force needed to complete the task
by increasing the friction between the machine and the object
by adding more work on the object than originally applied
by removing the force of gravity on the object
Simple machines can make work easier by reducing the input force needed to move an object. However, there is a trade off for decreased input. What is the trade off?
The distance the object is moved is increased.
The distance the object is moved is decreased.
The amount of work is increased.
The amount of work is decreased.

1. What is the Engineering Design Process?
A computer program about engineering
An assembly line that builds car parts
A test that professional engineers take every year to test their knowledge
A series of steps that engineers follow to come up with a solution to a problem
If an engineer is testing a new product and notices that it does not always perform well, the engineer should
Quit, because only bad engineers have product ideas
Ignore the test results and continue to the next step of the Design Process
Go back and change the design, then test the product again
If you wanted to build a new and improved type of sneaker, a good way to do background research and specify requirements for your new shoe would be to
Go to a shoe store and take notes about the important features of the sneakers
Look around at your school and take notes about what type of sneakers are the most popular
Talk to your friends about what they like and do not like about the sneakers they own
All of these
The engineering design process is an iterative process. This means
The engineering design process can not be used in all areas of engineering.
New ideas or information might make an engineer repeat parts of the process over and over
An engineer has to go through every step of the process twice before the solution is any good
A prototype is
The description of the problem that we are trying to solve
An operating version of a solution to see if it will work
A document listing the features that must be included in the final product
All of these
The problem should be written:
[What] need(s) [who] because [why].
[Who] need(s) [what] because [why].
[What] need(s) [why] because
[who].
[Who] need(s) [why] because [what].
Design solutions may include brainstorming, doodling, and creating sketches
True
False
Using one of these will help your group decide on which model to build:
Design Brief
Design Evaluator
Decision Matrix
Based on this chart, which idea was best?
Idea 2
Idea 6
Idea 3
Idea 4
A manufacturer has developed a textured surface for plastic cups. The manufacturer has produced prototypes. Which of the following is the next step in the engineering design process?
market the new textured cups
redesign the textured surface
test and evaluate the prototypes
Which step of the design process where you explore and examine the current state of the issue via internet, library, interviews, etc.?
Identify the need or problem
Research the need or problem
Develop possible solution(s)
Select the best possible solution
Which step of the design process where you discuss how the results of your build best meets the initial problem or need?
Construct a prototype
Test and evaluate the solution(s)
Communicate the solutions(s)
Redesign
What two things determine whether or not engineering solutions are successful? (select two answers)
If it stays within the constraints
If it looks cool
If it solves a problem
If it meets the criteria
Which word best describes a criteria?
requirements
limitations
opportunity
issues

Which code would you use to display a picture of a sword?
display.show(Image.SWORD)
