Sample Practice Test Questions
Coolant is circulated through the engine by the:
water pump
The water pump is driven by a belt connected to the crankshaft and ensures that coolant moves through the engine and radiator.
If the length of AB equals the length of BD, point B __________ this line segment.
bisects
A line segment is a portion of a line with a measurable length. The midpoint of a line segment is the point exactly halfway between the endpoints. The midpoint bisects (cuts in half) the line segment.
Solve for y:
2y + 2 < 8 - 8y
To solve this equation, repeatedly do the same thing to both sides of the equation until the variable is isolated on one side of the < sign and the answer on the other.
2y + 2 < 8 - 8y
2y < 8 - 8y - 2
2y + 8y < 8 - 2
10y < 6
y < \( \frac{6}{10} \)
y < \(\frac{3}{5}\)
The radiator is responsible for tranferring heat from the coolant to:
outside air
The radiator is responsible for tranferring heat from the coolant to the outside air. Radiator hoses transfer coolant to and from the engine to the radiator and a radiator cap maintains pressure in the cooling system to increase the boiling point of the coolant mixture and thus allow it to absorb more heat.
Convert -20C° to F°.
-4
To convert from C° to F° use:
\(F° = {9 \over 5}C° + 32\)
\(F° = {9 \over 5}(-20) + 32\)
\(F° = {-180 \over 5} + 32\)
\(F° = -36 + 32 = -4\)
Power is the rate at which:
work is done
Power is the rate at which work is done, P = w/t, or work per unit time. The watt (W) is the unit for power and is equal to 1 joule (or newton-meter) per second. Horsepower (hp) is another familiar unit of power used primarily for rating internal combustion engines. 1 hp equals 746 watts.
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.
Which of the following statements about an 8-point saw is not true?
an 8-point saw makes a rougher cut than a 12-point saw
Saw blades are described by the number of teeth per inch (TPI). The higher the TPI of a saw the finer the cut it will make.
