What is a lever?
A tool used to cut metal
A mechanism that rotates a cam
A rigid bar that pivots around a fulcrum to move a load
A type of gear system
What does a linkage do in a mechanism?
Converts electrical energy to movement
Connects multiple levers to change the motion
Holds parts together with screws
Increases the size of a gear
What is the function of a cam?
To store electrical energy
To keep parts still
To convert rotary motion into linear or reciprocating motion
To transmit hydraulic pressure
What type of motion is a wheel turning?
Linear
Oscillating
Rotary
Reciprocating
What is reciprocating motion?
A circular movement
A back-and-forth straight-line movement
A side-to-side swaying movement
A continuous spinning movement
Which cam shape produces a steady rise and fall motion?
Eccentric cam
Pear-shaped cam
Snail cam
Circular cam
What motion does a pear-shaped cam produce?
A smooth, continuous rotation

It remains stationary for half a turn then gently rises and falls.
Random movement
What is the purpose of a design specification?
To draw rough sketches of the idea
To list all the materials needed
To describe the exact requirements and constraints of the final product
To calculate the cost of production
What is a client profile in design and technology?
A graph of customer sales
A description of the person or group the product is being designed for
A template used for drawing
A list of manufacturing steps
What is the purpose of a prototype?
To serve as the final product
To test and develop a design before full production
In a class 1 lever, where is the fulcrum positioned?
At one end
Between the effort and the load
Directly under the load
Under the effort
What does an oscillating motion look like?
Spinning in circles
Moving in a straight line
Swinging side to side around a fixed point
Jumping up and down
Which type of cam is commonly used to produce a sudden drop in the follower?
Circular cam
Pear-shaped cam
Snail cam
Eccentric cam
What is the main purpose of creating a client profile during the design process?
To test the final product
To select manufacturing equipment
To estimate production costs
To identify the needs and preferences of the target user
