A distance sensor is used in a robotics project to detect how far an object is from the sensor. Which statement best describes how a distance sensor works?
It controls the speed of a motor directly based on user input.
It stores energy and releases it when an object is detected.
It measures the time it takes for a signal (like sound or light) to bounce back from an object and calculates the distance.
It only detects whether an object is present or not, without measuring distance.
Analyze the code above, what is it instructing the robot sensor to do?
The robot does what it was doing until the potentiometer sensor reads an exact setting
The robot does what it was doing until the potentiometer sensor reads a value less than a set position.
The robot does what it was doing until the potentiometer sensor reads a value greater than a set position
The robot does what it was doing until the potentiometer sensor reads a value.
I do not know the answer.
Examine the program above. What will the program cause the robot to do?
The code will turn on the right motor at half speed for 2 milliseconds and then stop.
The code will cause the robot to move forward 63 centimeters for 2 rotations and then stop
The code will turn on the right motor at half speed for 2 seconds and then stop.
The code will cause the right motor to turn 63 times in 2 seconds.
I do not know the answer.

The Enterprise Wheel shows different perspectives that work together to deliver value to the customer. Which of the following correctly lists these perspectives?
Engineering, Science, and Math
Business, Technology, and Customer
Design, Production, and Distribution
Marketing, Finance, and Sales
In the Enterprise Wheel, why is the customer positioned at the center?
Customers are responsible for product design
The customer manages production and distribution
All business decisions are driven by customer needs and value
Customers control how products are manufactured
According to the Enterprise Wheel, which three factors directly provide value to the customer?
Marketing, Sales, and Advertising
Research, Development, and Testing
Profit, Labor, and Materials
Quality, Cost, and Time
What is the primary difference between an open-loop control system and a closed-loop control system?
Open-loop systems are controlled by computers, while closed-loop systems are controlled by humans
Open-loop systems use feedback to adjust performance, while closed-loop systems do not
Open-loop systems operate without feedback, while closed-loop systems use feedback to adjust output
Open-loop systems are more accurate than closed-loop systems in all applications
Which control system is most accurately described as a closed-loop system?
A microwave that runs for a set time selected by the user
A traffic light operating on a fixed timer
A washing machine that always runs the same cycle
A thermostat-controlled home heating system
An optical sensor is connected to a controller and produces output values that range continuously from 0 to 1023 as light intensity changes. What does this information indicate about the sensor?
The sensor is digital because it only detects ON or OFF states
The sensor is analog because it provides a range of continuous values
The sensor is both analog and digital because it connects to a controller
The sensor is digital because it requires a programmed threshold
Which statement best describes the Technology Student Association (TSA)?
