Sample Practice Test Questions
In metals, increasing the temperature typically _____________ conductivity.
decreases
All conductors have resistance and the amount of resistance varies with the element. Metals exhibit increased resistance (and, therefore, lower conductivity) as their temperature increases.
Too much air results in a __________ air-fuel mixture that burns more slowly and hotter.
lean
The stoichiometric ratio defines the proper ratio of air to fuel necessary so that an engine burns all fuel with no excess air. For gasoline fuel, the stoichiometric ratio is about 14.7:1 or for every one gram of fuel, 14.7 grams of air are required. Too much air results in a lean air-fuel mixture that burns more slowly and hotter while too much fuel results in a rich mixture that burns quicker and cooler.
What is the area of a circle with a radius of 2?
The formula for area is πr2:
a = πr2
a = π(22)
a = 4π
What prevents blood pumped out of the ventricles from flowing back into the heart?
valves
The heart is the organ that drives the circulatory system. In humans, it consists of four chambers with two that collect blood called atria and two that pump blood called ventricles. The heart's valves prevent blood pumped out of the ventricles from flowing back into the heart.
Menstruation occurs when:
the ovum fails to become fertilized
If the ovum fails to become fertilized, the lining of the uterus sloughs off during menstruation. From puberty to menopause, this cycle of menstruation repeats monthly (except during pregnancy).
