Vector refers collectively to the direction and magnitude of a given force.
True
False
Every force has magnitude and direction, so a vector is associated with every force.
True
False
An angle is the measure of the difference in direction between two lines as measured at the intersection of the two line segments.
True
False
Tension is created in the rope or other system components by the forces at each end as they act in opposition to one another. The magnitude of tension is equal to the mass of the object multiplied by gravitational force, plus or minus any acceleration forces that are also acting on the object.
True
False
Others use dual rope systems, where access equipment is used on one rope and backup/safety equipment is attached to another.
True
False
Utilizing standardized terminology is key in maintaining safety during a rope rescue.
True
False
It is never good practice to back up anchor systems by backing up to the same anchorage or backing up to a separate anchorage.
True
False
Rigging plates are commonly used to draw multiple anchor points together to a single point, or to disperse multiple lines from a single anchor point.
True
False
Multi-point anchor systems collect multiple anchor points together to form a single connection point so that force is distributed and shared by the all the anchor points.
True
False
Enclosed basket litters do not offer additional protection to the subject.
True
False
Which of the following is NOT a medical consideration during rope rescue?
A) Triage
B) Spinal motion restriction
C) Patient packaging
D) Blood transfusion
Which of the following is considered an active fall arrest system used for workplace safety?
Guardrails
Lanyard with force absorber
Warning signs
Safety posters
Which of the following is NOT an example of an active fall arrest system?
Vertical lifeline fall arrest system
Self-retracting lifeline
Rope access backup
Guardrails
Passive fall protection refers to stationary systems that do not move, do not require the use of personal protective equipment, and require no active participation from the worker.
True
False
Rescuers must think about every part of the rescue system to try to identify the weakest points, the parts of the system most likely to fail, and the greatest risks to the system.
True
False
Which of the following situations may make a low-angle evacuation appropriate?
Moving a subject down a slope where a simple litter carry without roped assistance would be hazardous.
Moving a subject on flat ground.
Moving a subject up a vertical wall.
Moving a subject in water.
A low-angle evacuation can be resource intensive.
True
False
Match the core members of rope rescue operation with their roles:
Operations leader
Someone to be in charge
Rope rescuer
Someone to assist the subject
Rigger
Someone to rig the system
Brakeman
Someone to control the brake
Safety officer
Someone to monitor safety
Technician-level rescuers can perform unattended high-angle (or vertical) litter lowers.
True
False
A (a) is the unit of force required to accelerate a mass of 1 Kg 1 meter per second.
