Sample Practice Test Questions

Word Knowledge
Deferment most nearly means:
postponement
The act of delaying.
Mechanical Comprehension

A box is resting on a smooth floor. Static friction is present:

when an attempt is made to move the box

For any given surface, the coefficient of static friction is higher than the coefficient of kinetic friction. More force is required to initally get an object moving than is required to keep it moving. Additionally, static friction only arises in response to an attempt to move an object (overcome the normal force between it and the surface).

Word Knowledge
Incisive most nearly means:
keen
Impressively direct and decisive.
General Science

Which of the following is related to the Cambrian Explosion?

fossil record

The Cambrian period is one of the most significant geological time periods. Lasting about 53 million years, it marked a dramatic burst of changes in life on Earth known as the Cambrian Explosion. It is from this period that the majority of the history of life on Earth, as documented by fossils, is found. Called the fossil record, the layering of these mineralized imprints of organisms preserved in sedementary rock have allowed geologists to build a historical record of plant and animal life on Earth.

Electronics Information

What is the voltage of most household electrical systems in the United States?

110V

Most households use electricity with a voltage of 110V.

Arithmetic Reasoning

What is \( 5 \)\( \sqrt{20} \) - \( 2 \)\( \sqrt{5} \)

8\( \sqrt{5} \)

To subtract these radicals together their radicands must be the same:

5\( \sqrt{20} \) - 2\( \sqrt{5} \)
5\( \sqrt{4 \times 5} \) - 2\( \sqrt{5} \)
5\( \sqrt{2^2 \times 5} \) - 2\( \sqrt{5} \)
(5)(2)\( \sqrt{5} \) - 2\( \sqrt{5} \)
10\( \sqrt{5} \) - 2\( \sqrt{5} \)

Now that the radicands are identical, you can subtract them:

10\( \sqrt{5} \) - 2\( \sqrt{5} \)
(10 - 2)\( \sqrt{5} \)
8\( \sqrt{5} \)

Shop Information

A __________ is driven by a motor and used to shape and form edge contours.

router

A router is a tool that a worker uses to rout (hollow out), shape, or contour an area in relatively hard material like wood or plastic.

Electronics Information

A __________ electric current produces a magnetic field proportional to the amount of current flow.

moving

A moving electric current produces a magnetic field proportional to the amount of current flow. This magnetic field can be made stronger by winding the wire into a coil and further enhanced if done around an iron containing (ferrous) core.

Mechanical Comprehension
0.3 If this lever is in equilibrium with an effort force of 10.0 ft. lb. at the blue arrow and a resistance force of 3 ft. lb. at the green box, what is its mechanical advantage?
0.3

Mechanical advantage (MA) is the ratio by which effort force relates to resistance force. If both forces are known, calculating MA is simply a matter of dividing resistance force by effort force:

MA = \( \frac{F_r}{F_e} \) = \( \frac{3 ft.}{10.0 ft.} \) = 0.3

In this case, the mechanical advantage is less than one meaning that each unit of effort force results in just 0.3 units of resistance force. However, a third class lever like this isn't designed to multiply force like a first class lever. A third class lever is designed to multiply distance and speed at the resistance by sacrificing force at the resistance. Different lever styles have different purposes and multiply forces in different ways.

Word Knowledge
Placebo most nearly means:
sugar pill
An inactive substance used in medical testing.
