solder_guy Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 88% One of those Ser-Parallel questions threw me! I may have to take it again to see if I can improve my score! :jester: Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slngsht Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 90%. on the fan question, I said opposite, because although they turn in the same direction, one is going clockwise, while the other goes counter clockwise. Probably got that one wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solder_guy Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 Second time .. got 90% :crazy: 90%. on the fan question, I said opposite, because although they turn in the same direction, one is going clockwise, while the other goes counter clockwise. Probably got that one wrong. Yeah .. "as they are shown" is really vague. Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ce1984 Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 96%. I think the engine question one is a bit ambiguous.( I answered atmospheric ) Otherwise though I thought it was fairly well written. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arya Ebrahimi Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 Took this when prompted on another forum and got an 84%. I found it to be very poorly worded and one could easily over analyze the question and get it wrong even though the answer is technically right. For example the 3 light bulb question with the switch bypassing one bulb. When that switch is thrown, the bypassed bulb will still light up ever so faintly, so I clicked 3 bulbs, but their answer is 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Birkin42 Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 96% first try. I know I got one electrical question wrong. Not sure which other one. I answered suction from the piston going down on the intake stroke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arya Ebrahimi Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 They said atmospheric pressure was the answer for the piston question, which I think is wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellowss7 Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 Alright, I'll fess up. I failed with 78% :cry: That's why I built a Caterham, it just bolts together. You guys that build your own from scratch are special. :flag: Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birkin42 Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 Air travels due to a relative pressure difference so who says the force to fill the cylinder is from the vacuum or from the atmopheric pressure. I went with the vacuum since it is the motion of the piston creating the pressure difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xflow7 Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 They said atmospheric pressure was the answer for the piston question, which I think is wrong. The one with the balloons? I agree. I was 96% with that one scored Incorrect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ayseven Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 I was not making this up when I said I had a lot of trouble with my car build. I got 70%. I really tried! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SR27.Seth Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 Okay- I have to argue two answers- they always let me do that in school- #48- 2 correct answers- atomspheric pressure does push the air into the cylinder, but the intake valve is already open when the piston starts to lower - of course the piston is 'sucking' air into the engine! I think my answer is more correct. #47- bad diagram, what is the fixed point on this contraption? if I had known that the rod was fixed I would say the balls will move in a vertical as well as outward direction- but I thought the hub was fixed- therefore the rod would move vertically but the balls, attached to the hub, would not. then i got two basic pulley questions wrong. 92% (In my world of physics its a 96%) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
