Sample Practice Test Questions

Automotive Information

Which engine component converts the reciprocating motion of the piston into the rotational motion that's used to power the vehicle and its components?

crankshaft

The crankshaft converts the reciprocating motion of the piston into the rotational motion that's used to power the vehicle and its components.

Automotive Information

What combines the suspension spring and shock absorber into one unit?

strut

Because a compressed spring will ex­tend violently, shock absorbers must be used to dampen the spring’s compression and extension cycles. Struts combine the spring and shock into one unit

Mechanical Comprehension

What defines the mechanical advantage of a first class lever?

position of the fulcrum

A first-class lever is used to increase force or distance while changing the direction of the force. The lever pivots on a fulcrum and, when a force is applied to the lever at one side of the fulcrum, the other end moves in the opposite direction. The position of the fulcrum also defines the mechanical advantage of the lever. If the fulcrum is closer to the force being applied, the load can be moved a greater distance at the expense of requiring a greater input force. If the fulcrum is closer to the load, less force is required but the force must be applied over a longer distance. An example of a first-class lever is a seesaw / teeter-totter.

Math Knowledge

Solve for x:
x2 + 6x - 13 = -x + 5

2 or -9

The first step to solve a quadratic expression that's not set to zero is to solve the equation so that it is set to zero:

x2 + 6x - 13 = -x + 5
x2 + 6x - 13 - 5 = -x
x2 + 6x + x - 18 = 0
x2 + 7x - 18 = 0

Next, factor the quadratic equation:

x2 + 7x - 18 = 0
(x - 2)(x + 9) = 0

For this expression to be true, the left side of the expression must equal zero. Therefore, either (x - 2) or (x + 9) must equal zero:

If (x - 2) = 0, x must equal 2
If (x + 9) = 0, x must equal -9

So the solution is that x = 2 or -9

Automotive Information

What is the pimary advantage of using power brakes on a vehicle?

provides higher hydraulic pressure in the braking system

Power brakes multiply the force a driver applies to the brake pedal using a vacuum booster connected to the engine intake manifold. This provides for much higher hydraulic pressure in the braking system than could be generated by the driver alone. Antilock brakes (ABS) use speed sensors and adjust the brake pressure at each wheel to prevent skidding and allow the driver more steering control in slippery conditions.

Automotive Information

What's the name of the low-voltage winding in the ignition coil?

primary coil winding

The ignition coil is a high-voltage transformer made up of two coils of wire. The primary coil winding is the low-voltage winding and has relatively few turns of heavy wire. The secondary coil winding is the high-voltage winding that surrounds the primary and is made up of thousands of turns of fine wire. Current flows from the battery through the primary coil winding which creates a changing magnetic field inside the secondary coil. This induces a very high-voltage current in the secondary coil which it feeds to the distributor.

Word Knowledge
Refurbish most nearly means:
renovate
To brighten or freshen.
Electronics Information

Which of the following can conduct electricity under some conditions but not others?

semiconductor

Semiconductors have valence shells that are exacly half full and can conduct electricity under some conditions but not others. This property makes them useful for the control of electrical current.

Word Knowledge
The executive was fired for his flagrant abuse of the company expense account.
glaring
Noticeably offensive.
Math Knowledge
9π

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 9 and radius (r) = 1. What is the volume?

The volume of a cylinder is πr2h:

v = πr2h
v = π(12 x 9)
v = 9π
