- 14. Information or signals entered into a computer system. Examples of an input device are a button, keys on a keyboard, touch screen, and accelerometer.
- 17. A functional analysis is a step in the reverse engineering process which identifies the necessary activities or actions of components and subsystems to turn available inputs—such as materials and energy—into desired output. A functional analysis is conducted through careful observation of the object's sequential operation before it is disassembled.
- 19. A variable by which an object can move.
- 21. A group of parts that are connected and form one unit.
Down
- 1. The process of taking something apart and analyzing its workings in detail.
- 2. A group of interacting, interrelated, or interdependent elements or parts that function together as a whole to accomplish a goal. Change happens if you add or remove a part.
- 3. A self-contained system within a larger system.
- 4. 1. A relationship of one set (called the domain) to another set (called the range) that assigns to each element of the domain exactly one element of the range. 2. The action or actions that an item is designed to perform.

- 15. Motion in which all particles of a body move with the same velocity along parallel paths.
- 16. The property possessed by an object of producing different sensations on the eye as a result of the way it reflects or emits light.
- 18. 1. Having the three dimensions of length, width, and depth. Also referred to as a solid. 2. The organization, placement, or relationship of basic elements, as volumes or voids in a sculpture, so as to produce a coherent image.
- 20. In science, computing, and engineering, a black box is a device, system, or object which can be viewed in terms of it inputs and outputs, without any knowledge of its internal workings.
