Sample Practice Test Questions
The primary difference between a standard level and a bullseye level is which of the following?
a bullseye level can measure across two dimensions
Levels utlize a fluid-filled tube containing a bubble that is centered when the surface is horizontal (level) or vertical (plumb) along the direction of the tube. While a standard level can measure along a single dimension, a bullseye level is circular and can indicate the levelness of a two dimensional plane.
Electromotive force is another name for:
voltage
Voltage (V) is the electrical potential difference between two points. Electrons will flow as current from areas of high potential (concentration of electrons) to areas of low potential. Voltage and current are directly proportional in that the higher the voltage applied to a conductor the higher the current that will result.
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.
When all forces acting on a system cancel each other out, this is called:
equilibrium
When a system is stable or balanced (equilibrium) all forces acting on the system cancel each other out. In the case of torque, equilibrium means that the sum of the anticlockwise moments about a center of rotation equal the sum of the clockwise moments.
Blood is delivered to bodily tissues through:
capillaries
The aorta is the body's largest artery and receives blood from the pulmonary vein via the left ventricle. From there, blood is circulated through the rest of the body through smaller arteries called arterioles that branch out from the heart. Finally, blood is delivered to bodily tissues through capillaries.
Direct current flows from the __________ terminal of the voltage source to the __________ terminal.
negative, positive
Direct current flows in only one direction in a circuit, from the negative terminal of the voltage source to the positive. A common source of direct current (DC) is a battery.
