Sample Practice Test Questions

Mechanical Comprehension

If the handles of a wheelbarrow are 3 ft. from the wheel axle, what force must you exert to lift the handles if it's carrying a 270 lb. load concentrated at a point 0.5 ft. from the axle?

45 lbs

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. Plugging in the variables from this problem yields:

Fe x 3 ft. = 270 lbs x 0.5 ft
Fe = 135 ft-lb. / 3 ft 
F= 45 lbs

General Science

A major difference between sound waves and light waves is which of the following?

all of these are correct

A vibrating object produces a sound wave that travels outwardly from the object through a medium (any liquid or solid matter). The vibration disturbs the particles in the surrounding medium, those particles disturb the particules next to them, and so on, as the sound propagates away from the vibration.

General Science

Elements in the same group in the Periodic Table of the Elements have the same:

number of electrons in their outer electron shell

The columns of the Periodic Table are called groups and all elements in a group have the same number of electrons in their outer electron shell. The group that an element occupies generally determines its chemical properties as the number of outer shell electrons establishes the way it reacts with other elements to form molecules. So, because each element has the same number of electrons in its outer shell, each has similar reactivity.

General Science

The transfer of heat by the circulation or movement of the heated parts of a liquid or gas is called:

convection

Convection is the transfer of heat by the circulation or movement of the heated parts of a liquid or gas. Examples of heat transfer by convection include water coming to a boil on a stove, ice melting, and steam from a cup of coffee. 

Automotive Information

__________ are made with wide gap coils of rigid steel cable and both hold the vehicle chassis up off the ground and absorb energy from wheel movement making for a smoother ride.

suspension springs

Suspension springs are made with wide gap coils of rigid steel cable and both hold the vehicle chassis up off the ground and absorb energy from wheel movement making for a smoother ride.

Mechanical Comprehension

The principle of moments defines equilibrium in terms of:

torque

According to the principle of moments, you can maintain equilibrium if the moments (forces) tending to clockwise rotation are equal to the moments tending to counterclockwise rotation. Another name for these moments of force is torque.

Math Knowledge
12

If a = c = 4, b = d = 3, what is the area of this rectangle?

12

The area of a rectangle is equal to its length x width:

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 4 x 3
a = 12

Electronics Information

A capacitor to an electronic circuit is like a _______________ to a house?

storage shed

Capacitors store electricity and are used in circuits as temporary batteries. Capacitors are charged by DC current (AC current passes through a capacitor) and that stored charge can later be dissipated into the circuit as needed. Capacitors are often used to maintain power within a system when it is disconnected from its primary power source or to smooth out or filter voltage within a circuit.

Mechanical Comprehension

Friction between two or more solid objects that are not moving relative to each other is called:

static friction

Static friction is friction between two or more solid objects that are not moving relative to each other. An example is the friction that prevents a box on a sloped surface from sliding farther down the surface.

Word Knowledge
Advantageous most nearly means:
favorable
Giving an advantage.
