Sample Practice Test Questions
A tiger in a zoo has consumed 143 pounds of food in 11 days. If the tiger continues to eat at the same rate, in how many more days will its total food consumtion be 195 pounds?
If the tiger has consumed 143 pounds of food in 11 days that's \( \frac{143}{11} \) = 13 pounds of food per day. The tiger needs to consume 195 - 143 = 52 more pounds of food to reach 195 pounds total. At 13 pounds of food per day that's \( \frac{52}{13} \) = 4 more days.
What is 9a - 7a?
To combine like terms, add or subtract the coefficients (the numbers that come before the variables) of terms that have the same variable raised to the same exponent.
9a - 7a = 2a
Momentum is a measure of how difficult it is for a moving object to stop. Which of the following is the formula for momentum?
\(\vec{p} = m\vec{v}\)
Momentum is a measure of how difficult it is for a moving object to stop and is calculated by multiplying the object's mass by its velocity: \(\vec{p} = m\vec{v}\). Like velocity, momentum is a vector quantity as it expresses force applied in a specific direction.
Which of the following does not filter air as part of the respiratory system?
epiglottis
After air enters through the nose, it passes through the nasal cavity which filters, moistens, and warms it. Further filtering takes place in the pharynx, which also helps protect against infection, and then in the trachea which is just past the epiglottis which prevents food from entering the airway.
Connected gears of different numbers of teeth are used together to change which of the following charasteristics of the input force?
torque
Connected gears of different numbers of teeth are used together to change the rotational speed and torque of the input force. If the smaller gear drives the larger gear, the speed of rotation will be reduced and the torque will increase. If the larger gear drives the smaller gear, the speed of rotation will increase and the torque will be reduced.
According to Boyle's Law, pressure and volume are inversely proportional:
\( \frac{P_1}{P_2} \) = \( \frac{V_2}{V_1} \)
In this problem, V2 = 10 ft.3, V1 = 30 ft.3 and P1 = 6.0 psi. Solving for P2:
P2 = \( \frac{P_1}{\frac{V_2}{V_1}} \) = \( \frac{6.0 psi}{\frac{10 ft.^3}{30 ft.^3}} \) = 18 psi
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.
