Q2 Robotics Practice Quiz

A sensor that measures the turning movement of a wheel for purposes of calculating distance.

Essentially a microphone that returns a voltage proportional to the ambient noise level.

It is essentially a voltage divider and provides an analog voltage corresponding to the angle the knob is rotated to.

It uses mini infrared transmitter/receiver pairs and send signals when the infrared beam is broken by a specifically designed spinning disk

They  are used when high accuracy, or long distances (or both) are required when measuring the range to an object.

A hand tool specifically designed to insert and tighten, or to loosen and remove screws.

It is a device for applying heat to melt solder in attaching two metal parts

It is used in removing soldered wires and components on printed circuit boards for trouble shooting and repair purposes.

It is used for holding, bending, and stretching the lead of electronic component or connecting wires.

It is used to bore or drill holes in the printed circuit board(PCB) with sizes from 1/32” – 1/16”.

It is a pair of opposing blades much like scissors with  the addition of a center notch makes it easier to cut the insulation without cutting the wire.

They are hand tools having a series of sharp, parallel ridges or teeth.

It is a type of brush made of bristles set in handle, used for cleaning dirty parts of a circuit or an object.

It is equipment that combines three functions: that measures both AC and DC voltages; an ohmmeter that measures resistance; and a milliammeter that measures small amount of DC current.

It is is a hard plastic, but when heated (in hot water for instance), it becomes malleable and can be shaped into intricate parts, which then cools and solidifies into durable plastic parts.
