Sample Practice Test Questions
A bread recipe calls for 2\(\frac{1}{4}\) cups of flour. If you only have 1\(\frac{5}{8}\) cups, how much more flour is needed?
The amount of flour you need is (2\(\frac{1}{4}\) - 1\(\frac{5}{8}\)) cups. Rewrite the quantities so they share a common denominator and subtract:
(\( \frac{18}{8} \) - \( \frac{13}{8} \)) cups
\( \frac{5}{8} \) cups
\(\frac{5}{8}\) cups
Which of the following is not a primary function of a vehicle's lubrication system?
increases fuel economy
The lubrication system lubricates engine components by putting an oil film between them to reduce friction and smooth engine operation, cools by absorbing heat from engine parts, seals the pistons and cylinders to contain combustion, cleans contaminants, and quiets engine noise.
When it comes to force, mass and acceleration have what kind of relationship?
linear
Newton's Second Law of Motion states that "The acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object." This Law describes the linear relationship between mass and acceleration when it comes to force and leads to the formula F = ma or force equals mass multiplied by rate of acceleration.
Work is measured in:
joules or newton-meters
Work is performed on an object when an applied force causes displacement along the same vector. Measured in joules (J) or newton-meters (Nm), work is calculated by multiplying force times displacement: \(W = \vec{F}\vec{d}\)
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.
A menswear store is having a sale: "Buy one shirt at full price and get another shirt for 40% off." If Monty buys two shirts, each with a regular price of $50, how much money will he save?
By buying two shirts, Monty will save $50 x \( \frac{40}{100} \) = \( \frac{$50 x 40}{100} \) = \( \frac{$2000}{100} \) = $20.00 on the second shirt.
Why does current in an electric circuit create heat?
heat is created when the current overcomes resistance in the wire
Current in an electric circuit creates heat when the current overcomes resistance in the wire.
