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.

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.

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.

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.

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%)
