Sample Practice Test Questions
Which of these vitamins doesn't come from food?
D
Vitamins are necessary for a wide variety of bodily processes. Some vitamins like Vitamins A and C come from diet but others, like Vitamin D, are generated in response to sunlight.
Which of these is the formula for force?
F = ma
Newton's Second Law of Motion states that "The acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object." This Law describes the linear relationship between mass and acceleration when it comes to force and leads to the formula F = ma or force equals mass multiplied by rate of acceleration.
An overcooled engine:
is less efficient
An overcooled engine is less efficient. During the power stroke, combustion heat pushes down the piston. If too much of this heat is lost to the cooling system, the fuel might not combust completely and contaminate the engine's lubricating oil diminishing its lubricating ability. Incomplete combustion of fuel also negatively affects the engine's fuel efficiency and power output.
Convert 0C° to F°.
32
To convert from C° to F° use:
\(F° = {9 \over 5}C° + 32\)
\(F° = {9 \over 5}(0) + 32\)
\(F° = 0 + 32 = 32\)
The vehicle's computer system gets data from:
sensors
Sensors provide the data necessary for the vehicle's computer to make decisions and monitor everything from simple vehicle information like tire pressure to complexities like the chemical content of an engine's exhaust.
Which of the following enables heat transfer from the cylinder heads to the coolant?
water jacket
A water jacket is a coolant-filled casing that allows heat transfer from the engine block and cylinder heads to the liquid coolant.
In the classification of life, which of the following is not a domain?
animalia
The broadest classification of life splits all organisms into three groups called domains. The three domains of life are bacteria, archaea and eukaryota.
If the green box weighs 30 lbs. and is 8 ft. from the fulcrum, how much force would need to be applied at the blue arrow to balance the lever if the arrow's distance from the fulcrum is 9 ft.?
To balance this lever the torques at the green box and the blue arrow must be equal. Torque is weight x distance from the fulcrum so the equation for equilibrium is:
Rada = Rbdb
where a represents the green box and b the blue arrow, R is resistance (weight/force) and d is the distance from the fulcrum.Solving for Rb, our missing value, and plugging in our variables yields:
Rb = \( \frac{R_ad_a}{d_b} \) = \( \frac{30 lbs. \times 8 ft.}{9 ft.} \) = \( \frac{240 ft⋅lb}{9 ft.} \) = 26.67 lbs.
What is the frequency of most household electrical systems?
60Hz
Electricity is delivered from power stations to customers as AC because it provides a more efficient way to transport electricity over long distances. Most households use electricity with a frequency of 60Hz.
