Sample Practice Test Questions

General Science

The rows of the Periodic Table of the Elements are called:

periods

The rows of the Periodic Table are called periods and contain elements that have the same number of electron shells ordered from lower to higher atomic number. 

Math Knowledge

Find the value of a:
5a + z = -1
-2a - 3z = -3

-\(\frac{6}{13}\)

You need to find the value of a so solve the first equation in terms of z:

5a + z = -1
z = -1 - 5a

then substitute the result (-1 - 5a) into the second equation:

-2a - 3(-1 - 5a) = -3
-2a + (-3 x -1) + (-3 x -5a) = -3
-2a + 3 + 15a = -3
-2a + 15a = -3 - 3
13a = -6
a = \( \frac{-6}{13} \)
a = -\(\frac{6}{13}\)

Automotive Information

What provides the power necessary to start a car?

battery

The battery supplies the power necessary to start the engine when the ignition switch is is turned on.

Electronics Information

An inductor __________ changes in the electric current flowing through it.

resists

An inductor is coiled wire that stores electric energy in the form of magnetic energy and resists changes in the electric current flowing through it. If current is increasing, the inductor produces a voltage that slows the increase and, if current is decreasing, the magnetic energy in the coil opposes the decrease to keep the current flowing longer. In contrast to capacitors, inductors allow DC to pass easily but resist the flow of AC.

Word Knowledge
Mandate most nearly means:
command
An official order or commission to do something.
Word Knowledge
Pantomime most nearly means:
charade
Telling a story through gestures.
Automotive Information

Which of the following maintains pressure in the cooling system?

radiator cap

The radiator is responsible for tranferring heat from the coolant to the outside air. Radiator hoses transfer coolant to and from the engine to the radiator and a radiator cap maintains pressure in the cooling system to increase the boiling point of the coolant mixture and thus allow it to absorb more heat.

Word Knowledge
Prune most nearly means:
trim
To reduce by removing excess.
Automotive Information

Cylinder air and fuel intake valves, exhaust valves, and mounts for spark plugs and fuel injectors are contained in the:

head gasket

Cylinders act as a guide for the pistons that translate the heat energy of combustion into the mechanical energy necessary to move a vehicle. Piston rings seal the piston to the cylinder to contain combustion gases and also regulate the oil distribution between the piston and cylinder wall. A cylinder head closes in the top of the cylinder forming the combustion chamber which is sealed by a head gasket (head). The head provides space for air and fuel intake valves, exhaust valves, and mounts for spark plugs and fuel injectors.

Automotive Information

Which of the following is not part of an engine's cooling system?

air conditioner

The purpose of an automobile engine's cooling system is to circulate coolant around the engine so it can absorb and dissipate heat. The water pump pumps coolant through the various components in the system and the radiator cools down coolant after it has heated up after passing through the engine. The thermostat controls the flow of coolant based on engine temperature while the cooling fan draws air through the radiator when the car isn't moving fast enough for unforced air to cool things down on its own.
