Sample Practice Test Questions
A menswear store is having a sale: "Buy one shirt at full price and get another shirt for 50% off." If Damon buys two shirts, each with a regular price of $39, how much will he pay for both shirts?
By buying two shirts, Damon will save $39 x \( \frac{50}{100} \) = \( \frac{$39 x 50}{100} \) = \( \frac{$1950}{100} \) = $19.50 on the second shirt.
So, his total cost will be
$39.00 + ($39.00 - $19.50)
$39.00 + $19.50
$58.50
How are the cylinders numbered in V-type engines?
cylinder numbering varies by manufacturer
In V-type engines the numbering sequence varies by manufacturer.
Collinear forces:
act along the same line of action
Collinear forces act along the same line of action, concurrent forces pass through a common point and coplanar forces act in a common plane.
An element in the physical state of __________ maintains a constant volume and shape.
solid
An element in a solid state has atoms or molecules that are constricted and do not move freely. Solids maintain a constant volume and shape and exist at a lower temperature than liquids or gases.
As a cold front moves into an area, the heavier cool air __________ the lighter warm air that it is replacing.
pushes under
A cold front is a warm-cold air boundary with the colder air replacing the warmer. As a cold front moves into an area, the heavier cool air pushes under the lighter warm air that it is replacing. The warm air becomes cooler as it rises and, if the rising air is humid enough, the water vapor it contains will condense into clouds and precipitation may fall.
What part of the brain is responsible for for balance, movement, and muscle coordination?
cerebellum
The cerebellum is a large cluster of nerves at the base of the brain that's responsible for balance, movement, and muscle coordination.
Which of the following saws would you use if you're cutting wood across the grain?
crosscut saw
Wood saws are categorized by their teeth shape and the number of teeth per inch (TPI). The higher the TPI of a saw the finer the cut it will make. Crosscut saws utilize knife-shaped teeth that cut across the grain of the wood while rip saws cut with the grain using chisel-shaped teeth that rip the wood cells apart as the cut is made. The kerf (slot) made by by a crosscut saw is much smoother than that made by a rip saw but a rip saw cuts much faster. Coping saws are a type of bow saw used to make detailed often curving cuts using replaceable blades with fine small teeth.
This tool is a(n) __________.
inside caliper
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.
