Mechanical comprehension tests are designed to assess your knowledge across many different areas, such as mechanical equipment and other basic principles of topics like friction, gravity, and energy.To prepare for this test, you should try answering sample questions like the one below.Two questions ...
Early modern natural philosophers put forward the ontological program that was called "mechanical philosophy" and they gave mechanical explanations for all kinds of phenomena, such as gravity, magnetism, the colors of the rainbow, the circulation of the blood, the motion of the heart and the ...
Intuitively, the shorter pendulum has less distance to travel in every cycle and, therefore, will move faster. The bob's mass is irrelevant since the pendulum is affected by gravity, which applies the same acceleration on each body, regardless of its mass. Both bobs accelerate the same; there...
Definitions/explanations of common mechanical testing terms for woody structural materials are summarized in Table 1, as defined by Burgert,278 with the corresponding standards commonly used for measurement of wood properties described elsewhere.276 Table 1. Mechanical terms used with respect to uniaxial...
We suggest that the uplift of rift flanks results from mechanical unloading of the lithosphere during extension and consequent isostatic rebound. This mechanism is presented as an alternative to explanations for rift flank uplift involving thermal or dynamic processes, and magmatic thickening of the crus...
In either case, the pendulum moves according to the laws of momentum and gravity. If a beam of photons is likely to move an electron from a lower to a higher energy state, the beam is also likely to move an electron from the higher energy state to the lower one. (In fact, this is...
The aim of this study was to present a new switch sensor designed to allow repeated activation and release cycles by requiring a very small activation force and providing a return force suitable to move the finger against gravity. We report here the theoretical mechanical design concept of the ...
length and nature of use, compliance with exporting laws, warranties, disclaimers, limitations of liability, and remedies, and other provisions. The software products and documentation may be used, disclosed, transferred, or copied only in accordance with the terms and conditions of that software ...
Science of mechanics Sixteenth-century Europe showed a marked rise in attention for machines as objects for theoretical reflection. Medieval society had a rich material culture involving both traditional instruments and striking new inventions (White1962). Scholastic philosophers were familiar with some Ale...
which correspond to the absence or the reversion of gravity. Since our quantum mechanical model quantitatively describes, particularly, the experimentally realized situation of reversed gravity, we can practically rule out alternative explanations of the quantum states, in terms of pure confinement effects...
