Sample Practice Test Questions
Water freezing or boiling is an example of which of the following?
phase transition
A substance undergoes a phase transition when it moves from one state of matter to another, for example, when water freezes or boils.
What is the function of the head gasket?
to seal the engine block from the cylinders
A head gasket is a gasket that sits between the engine block and cylinder heads to seal the cylinders to ensure maximum compression and avoid leakage of coolant or engine oil into the cylinders.
Which of the following is igneous rock?
granite
The Earth's rocks fall into three categories based on how they're formed. Igneous rock (granite, basalt, obsidian) is formed from the hardening of molten rock (lava), sedimentary rock (shale, sandstone, coal) is formed by the gradual despositing and cementing of rock and other debris, and metamorphic rock (marble, slate, quartzite) which is formed when existing rock is altered though pressure, temperature, or chemical processes.
Use Ohm's Law to calculate the value of current in this circuit if voltage is 240 volts and resistance is 40 Ω.
Ohm's law specifies the relationship between voltage (V), current (I), and resistance (R) in an electrical circuit: V = IR.
Solved for current, I = \( \frac{V}{R} \) = \( \frac{240}{40} \) = 6 A
Which type of screwdriver has a x-shaped indentation on the head?
phillips
Screwdrivers come in many different handle, shaft, and tip configurations for use in a wide variety of applications. Screwdrivers are classified by their tip which is shaped to fit a corresponding screw head. Common tips are slotted (flat) and Phillips (x-shaped).
A transistor to an electronic circuit is like a _______________ to a house?
gate
A transistor works by allowing a small amount of current applied at the base to control general current flow from collector to emitter through the transistor. A transistor acts as a gate or switch for electronic signals.
What is the distance in miles of a trip that takes 1 hour at an average speed of 50 miles per hour?
Average speed in miles per hour is the number of miles traveled divided by the number of hours:
speed = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{time}} \)Solving for distance:
distance = \( \text{speed} \times \text{time} \)
distance = \( 50mph \times 1h \)
50 miles
