Have you ever examined a product and wondered how it was made? Did you consider why the creators chose certain materials for the product? The next time you are in a convenience store, walk back to the refrigerated area and look at the different containers that hold liquid. You will see an amazing variety of shapes and sizes, yet each container is designed to do the same thing—hold a liquid substance.

While many of us wonder why the container was made, few of us consider the importance of how the container was made. Manufacturing processes play a vital role in the production of consumer products.

To complete Check Point 1, Submit a good photo of your work for questions 10 through 14 Modeling.

What is your favorite brand of tennis shoes? Maybe you prefer casual shoes over tennis shoes. No matter the shoes, the primary design focus is the same—what materials should engineers consider when designing the shoes? After all, the shoes must meet your performance expectations and must be durable enough for everyday demand.

While materials possess similarities to one another, their differences are equally important to help engineers select appropriate material to create a product from. When selecting materials, engineers must ask the following questions.

What are the normal environmental and use conditions for the product?
Will extreme conditions affect the material?
Will these conditions cause the material to fail, and if not, how safely will the material carry the load?
How will the material behave if its temperature is drastically changed?
Will the material remain as strong as it was before being formed?
Will the material corrode when exposed to extreme conditions?
When engineers can’t find a material that provides the desired traits, they invent new materials by combining several existing materials.

Material selection for products requires engineers to consider material properties against anticipated use. Sometimes engineers must find an alternative material for a part in their design. Some of the reasons may include environmental issues, cost issues, or safety issues. For example, during World War II, each B-17 Super Fortress Bomber was built with approximately 1000 pounds of rubber. Scientists were tasked with finding or developing a suitable rubber alternative to lighten the aircraft’s load.

Introduction
Regardless of circuit complexity, circuit designers and users need to apply fundamental electrical theories to circuits to verify safe operation and troubleshoot a circuit. Solve the problems in the worksheet below on a separate sheet of paper. Please use the substitute and solve method, showing the equation, then substitute with the numbers and the final solution. Circle your answer and submit an excellent flat photo of your work. If you have a technical problem, let me know, I will find a solution for you.
In this activity, you will gain experience applying Ohm’s law and Kirchhoff’s voltage and current laws to circuits to understand circuit requirements and relationships between voltage, current, and resistance.
.

• Engineering notebook
• Pencil
• Calculator
Using the Google Slides presentation as a guide to solving the circuits, complete the worksheet. Rember that examples (with answers) of how to solve each type of circuit is included in the slide show.

This activity will provide you with an introduction to voltage, current, resistance, series circuits, parallel circuits, and Ohm’s Law. You will construct circuits using an online electricity simulator. You will use a virtual multimeter to measure properties within the circuit.

Please answer the question.

In this activity your team of two to three will choose an energy source that interests you. Your team will create two presentation slides about your energy source. Those will be compiled with the other teams’ slides to create a class presentation. Each team will have three to four minutes for their portion of the google presentation.

Please answer the question.

Please answer the question.

Mechanical systems often require a combination of mechanisms to complete a given task. Any time two or more machines are combined, the result is a compound machine. If many mechanisms are combined, the machine may even be referred to as a complex machine. Compound machines can range in complexity from a crane or automobile to a simple manual can opener. A bicycle is an example of a compound machine. The pedals, brakes, handle bars, and sprocket systems are just some of the mechanisms on most bicycles. In this activity you will work in teams to design and build (if you can) a compound machine to accomplish an instructor-specified task. If you cannot build a machine, design one on paper and mathematically solve the mechanical advantage.

In this activity you will learn about gear ratios and how they affect speed and torque within a system. You will also design and calculate the ratio of simple and compound gear systems.

What is a compound machine? Please give an example.

Answer the following questions regarding simple machine systems. Each question requires proper illustration and annotation, including labeling of forces, distances, direction, and unknown values. Illustrations should consist of basic simple machine functional sketches rather than realistic pictorials. Be sure to document all solution steps and use proper units.

Why might compound gear trains be better than two gears alone?

After reviewing the Gears, Pulley Drives, and Sprockets presentation, complete the attached worksheet. you answer the questions on a separate piece of paper and submit a photo of your work.

A second class lever has a force effort of 150 pounds and a force resistance of 225 pounds. The distance from the axel to the center of the resistance force is 3 feet. How far away from the axel was the effort force applied?

Search the internet and locate information on each of the three different types of levers. Copy and paste pictures into a Google Slide add a brief explanation of the difference between the three classes.

A wheel barrow is used to lift a 2575 lb load. The length from the wheel axle to the center of the load is 2.5 ft. The length from the wheel and axle to the effort is 6.25 ft. What is the amount of effort Force required to lift the wheel barrow?

For each of the three levers on the work sheet:
Sketch and annotate the lever system
Calculate the AMA
Calculate the unknown variable.
You can do this on a separate piece of paper and submit a photo or, you can submit a digital document as long a you are able to provide a sketch of the lever.
