1
It is a body assumed not to suffer any deformation by the forces that may act on it.
Rigid Body
2
A branch of mechanics which studies rigid bodies at rest.
Statics
3
It is equals to mass times acceleration.
Force
4
Transmit energy through contact between their teeth.
Gear
5
It is a mechanical device that converts rotary motion into linear motion, or vice versa.
Driver and Follower
6
In mechanisms is a process of changing the fixed link in a kinematic chain to obtain a new mechanism.
Inversion of Pairs
7
It is often used to convert rotary motion into linear motion with high precision.
Lead Screw and Nut
8
A linear element with teeth that mesh with the teeth of the gear.
Gear and Rack
9
This type of contact provides a high degree of constraint and precision.
Closed/Lower Pair
10
This type of contact provides less constraint and precision than lower pairs, but it can allow for more complex relative motions.
Higher Pair
11
Which term is used to describe an intermediate connector that is rigid and capable of both pushing and pulling, like the connecting rod of a steam engine?
Link
12
What is the primary characteristic of a connector referred to as a "band"?
Flexibility
13
This mode of transmission involves the use of electromagnetic fields to transfer energy between the two elements.
Electromagnetism
14
Connections between two elements that allow them to move relative to each other in a constrained way, but does not fully constrain their motion.
Incomplete Pairs of Elements
15
The number of inversions of a kinematic chain is ______ to the number of links in the chain.
