Sample Practice Test Questions

What is a caliper used for?

transferring distances between objects

Calipers are similar to micrometers in shape but instead of measuring distances, calipers are used to transfer distances between objects. An outside caliper is used to transfer outside dimensions while an inside caliper is used to transfer inside distances. A vernier caliper is an extremely precise caliper (down to \({1 \over 1000}\) inch) that allows measuring / transferring either inside or outside dimensions.

outside micrometer

This tool is a(n) __________.

outside micrometer

Micrometers provide accuracy to the thousandths of an inch and come in outside and inside varieties. An outside micrometer is used to measure outside thickness, such as the diameter of a bolt, while an inside micrometer is used to measure the inside dimension of an object, such as the diameter of the hole of a nut or the width of a channel.

General Science

The formula for acceleration is which of the following?

\(\vec{a} = { \vec{F} \over m }\)

Newton's second law of motion leads to the formula for acceleration which is a measure of the rate of change of velocity per unit time and, if you solve for positive acceleration, reveals how much net force is needed to overcome an object's mass.  The formula for acceleration is  \(\vec{a} = { \vec{F} \over m }\) or, solving for force,  \(\vec{F} = m\vec{a}\).

Math Knowledge
294

The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 7, length (l) = 7, and width (w) = 7. What is the surface area?

294

The surface area of a cube is (2 x length x width) + (2 x width x height) + (2 x length x height):

sa = 2lw + 2wh + 2lh
sa = (2 x 7 x 7) + (2 x 7 x 7) + (2 x 7 x 7)
sa = (98) + (98) + (98)
sa = 294

Mechanical Comprehension
1 If the radius of the axle is 5 and the radius of the wheel is 6, what is the mechanical advantage of this wheel and axle configuration?
1

The mechanical advantage of a wheel and axle lies in the difference in radius between the inner (axle) wheel and the outer wheel. But, this mechanical advantage is only realized when the input effort and load are applied to different wheels. Applying both input effort and load to the same wheel results in a mechanical advantage of 1.

Shop Information

Which of the following would be used to make a drilling guide mark in a sheet of metal?

center punch

A punch is narrow and is used to drive objects like nails (pin punch) or for making guide marks for drilling (center punch) or patterns in wood or metal.

Electronics Information

Capacitors are charged by what type of current?

direct

Capacitors store voltage and are used in circuits as temporary batteries. Capacitors are charged by DC current (AC current passes through a capacitor) and that stored charge can later be dissipated into the circuit as needed. Capacitors are often used to maintain power within a system when it is disconnected from its primary power source or to smooth out or filter voltage within a circuit.

General Science

A biological community of interacting organisms and their physical environment is known as:

ecosystem

An ecosystem is a biological community of interacting organisms and their physical environment. This includes both the biotic (living) and abiotic (non-living).

Mechanical Comprehension
If the handles of a wheelbarrow are 2.5 ft. from the wheel axle and the load is concentrated at a point 1.0 ft. from the axle, how many pounds of load will a 130 lbs. force lift?
325
This problem describes a second-class lever and, for a second class lever, the effort force multiplied by the effort distance equals the resistance force multipied by the resistance distance: Fede = Frdr. In this problem we're looking for resistance force:
\( F_r = \frac{F_e d_e}{d_r} \)
\( F_r = \frac{130 \times 2.5}{1.0} \)
\( F_r = \frac{325.0}{1.0} \)
\( F_r = 325 \)
