Sample Practice Test Questions

Word Knowledge
The hedonism of the emperoro, who spent all his time giving parties, caused his downfall.
sensualism
Belief that pleasure is the sole aim of life.
Automotive Information

The __________ provides the appropriate power to vehicle wheels to maintain a given speed.

transmission

The transmission provides the appropriate power to vehicle wheels to maintain a given speed. The engine and the transmission have to be disconnected to shift gears and a manual transmission requires the driver to manually manage this disconnection (using a clutch) and to manually shift gears. An automatic transmission is essentially an automatic gear shifter and handles this process without driver input.

Automotive Information

For inline cylinder arrangements in an engine, how are the cylinders numbered?

sequentially from the front of the engine to the back

Inline cylinder arrangements number cylinders sequentially (1, 2, 3, ...) front to rear.

Electronics Information

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.

Mechanical Comprehension

Which of the following will increase the mechanical advantage of a second-class lever?

move the object being lifted closer to the fulcrum

A second-class lever is used to increase force on an object in the same direction as the force is applied. This lever requires a smaller force to lift a larger load but the force must be applied over a greater distance. The fulcrum is placed at one end of the lever and mechanical advantage increases as the object being lifted is moved closer to the fulcrum or the length of the lever is increased. An example of a second-class lever is a wheelbarrow.

General Science

The large intestine does which of the following?

processes the physical waste produced by digestion

The large intestine (colon) follows the small intestine and processes the physical waste produced by digestion, absorbing water and minerials that remain back into the body. Solid waste is then stored in the rectum while liquid waste is stored in the bladder.

General Science

In cell biology, cytokinesis results in two separate:

cells

During cell division, the cytokinesis phase occurs when cytoplasm and cell membranes complete their separation resulting in two separate cells.

Mechanical Comprehension
2.5 lbs. If the green box weighs 20 lbs. and is 1 ft. from the fulcrum, how much weight would need to be placed at the blue arrow to balance the lever if the arrow's distance from the fulcrum is 8 ft.?
2.5 lbs.

To balance this lever the torques on each side of the fulcrum must be equal. Torque is weight x distance from the fulcrum so the equation for equilibrium is:

Rada = Rbdb

where a represents the left side of the fulcrum and b the right, R is resistance (weight) and d is the distance from the fulcrum.

Solving for Rb, our missing value, and plugging in our variables yields:

Rb = \( \frac{R_ad_a}{d_b} \) = \( \frac{20 lbs. \times 1 ft.}{8 ft.} \) = \( \frac{20 ft⋅lb}{8 ft.} \) = 2.5 lbs.

Mechanical Comprehension

A block and tackle with four pulleys would have a mechanical advantage of:

4

Two or more pulleys used together constitute a block and tackle which, unlike a fixed pulley, does impart mechanical advantage as a function of the number of pulleys that make up the arrangement.  So, for example, a block and tackle with three pulleys would have a mechanical advantage of three.

Word Knowledge
The arrogant writer did not hide his disdain for his uneducated dinner companion.
scorn
Feeling of contempt.
