Sample Practice Test Questions

Mechanical Comprehension

For a hydraulic system, pressure applied to the input of the system will increase the pressure in which parts of the system?

all of these are correct

Pascal's law states that a pressure change occurring anywhere in a confined incompressible fluid is transmitted throughout the fluid such that the same change occurs everywhere. For a hydraulic system, this means that a pressure applied to the input of the system will increase the pressure everywhere in the system.

General Science

Scavengers break down the dead bodies of plants and animals into which of the following?

simple nutrients

Like decomposers, scavengers also break down the dead bodies of plants and animals into simple nutrients. The difference is that scavengers operate on much larger refuse and dead animals (carrion). Decomposers then consume the much smaller particles left over by the scavengers.

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:
\( F_r = \frac{F_e d_e}{d_r} \)
\( F_r = \frac{130 \times 2.5}{1.0} \)
\( F_r = \frac{325.0}{1.0} \)
\( F_r = 325 \)
Shop Information

Inside and outside micrometers measure inside and outside:

diameters

Micrometers measure the diameter of cylindrical objects. Outside micrometers measure the external diameter of cylinders and inside micrometers measure the internal diameter of the cylinder's hole.

Automotive Information

The spark plug fires during which engine stoke?

power

During the power stroke, just before the piston reaches top dead center, the spark plug fires and ignites the compressed air-fuel mixture. The resulting expansion due to combustion pushes the piston back down the cylinder toward bottom dead center.

General Science

Arteries carry __________ blood at __________ pressure.

oxygenated, high

Veins carry blood back to the heart from the body. While arteries are thick-walled because they carry oxygenated blood at high pressure, veins are comparatively thin-walled as they carry low-pressure deoxygenated blood. Like the heart, veins contain valves to prevent blood backflow.

General Science

What part of the brain is responsible for the major senses (thinking, hearing, seeing)?

cerebrum

The cerebrum is the major part of the brain and is responsible for the main senses (thinking, hearing, seeing).

Electronics Information
inductor

This circuit component symbol represents a(n):

inductor

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.

Automotive Information

Which of the following is a common firing order for four-cylinder engines?

1-3-4-2

The stroke cycle of an engine is governed by the crankshaft which serves to regulate the firing order of the cylinders. All cylinders are not on the same stroke at the same time and correct firing order is important to balance engine operation and minimize vibrations. A common firing order for four-cylinder engines is 1-3-4-2 which indicates that cylinders 1 and 3 fire (power stroke)together and cylinders 4 and 2 fire together.

General Science

"An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force." This describes which of Newton's laws of motion?

first

Also known as the law of inertia, Newton's first law of motion states that An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
