CSIM 2.1 Vocab

The flex sensor measures the amount of force.

• true

• false

Answer explanation

The statement in the question is incorrect. A flex sensor does not measure the amount of force. Instead, it measures the amount of bend or flex. Therefore, the correct answer is 'false'.

The compass is an instrument used to measure acceleration.

• true

• false

Answer explanation

The statement in the question is incorrect. A compass is not an instrument used to measure acceleration. Instead, it is a navigational instrument for determining direction relative to the Earth's magnetic poles. Therefore, the correct answer is 'false'.

A mechanical device that transfers signals to a control instrument or output device is called an "Analog" device.

• true

• false

An instrument used for determining direction

• compass

• light sensor

• accelerometer

• pressure sensor

Data represented as either yes/no or true/false.

• analog

• sensor

• compass

• digital

Answer explanation

The correct answer is digital. Digital data represents information in a binary format, using only two values, such as yes/no or true/false. Analog, sensor, and compass options do not fit the description of data represented as either yes/no or true/false.

Data that ranges on a continuous scale.

• analog

• sensor

• compass

• digital

Answer explanation

Analog data refers to information that is represented by continuous variables, such as physical quantities like temperature or pressure. In contrast, digital data is represented by discrete values, such as binary code. Among the given options, analog is the correct choice as it best describes data that ranges on a continuous scale.

Match the sensor to what it measures

• ambient light

• pressure sensor

• change in speed & orientation

• light sensor

• bending

• push button

• button press

• flex sensor

• force

• accelerometer

Something put into a system, such as resources, in order to achieve a result.​

• Input
• driver
• accelerometer
• pair programming

Two people working together to create a computer program. One person, called the driver, writes the code and explains the logic, while the other person, called the navigator, reviews it and gives feedback.
