Two drive couplings and a flexible screwdriver extension in between

3. Old school vehicles with drive shaft use U-joints (universal joints). Front wheel drive vehicles

use CV joints (constant velocity joints)

4. Probably

A flexible drive shaft..Many versions around.

5. For cars, it's commonly called a half-shaft or a drive shaft.

Somebody else noted it was called a universal joint or a constant-velocity joint.

7. In industry, they're typically called flex couplings, with dozens of variations.
