Sample Practice Test Questions

Arithmetic Reasoning

If a car travels 45 miles in 3 hours, what is the average speed?

15 mph

Average speed in miles per hour is the number of miles traveled divided by the number of hours:

speed = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{time}} \)
speed = \( \frac{45mi}{3h} \)
15 mph

Mechanical Comprehension

Coplanar forces:

act in a common plane

Collinear forces act along the same line of action, concurrent forces pass through a common point and coplanar forces act in a common plane.

Automotive Information

Engine oil viscosity is rated using the format XW-XX with the number preceding the W indicating viscosity at __________ ℉ and the XX indicating viscosity at __________ ℃.

0, 100

The primary component of the lubrication system is engine oil. Engines require oil blends with different thickness (viscosity) and additives depending on their operating conditions. Viscosity is rated using the format XW-XX with the number preceding the W (winter) rating the oil’s viscosity at 0 ℉ (-17.8 ℃) and the XX indicating viscosity at 100 ℃.

Mechanical Comprehension

What's the first gear in a gear train called?

driver gear

A gear train is two or more gears linked together. Gear trains are designed to increase or reduce the speed or torque outpout of a rotating system or change the direction of its output. The first gear in the chain is called the driver and the last gear in the chain the driven gear with the gears between them called idler gears.

Electronics Information

Why is an insulator a poor conductor of electricity?

an insulator has few free electrons

Insulators have valence shells that are more than half full of electrons and, as such, are tightly bound to the nucleus and difficult to move from one atom to another.

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.

Electronics Information

In an electronic circuit, a thermocouple can be used to:

open or close a circuit at a designated temperature

A thermocouple is a temperature sensor that consists of two wires made from different conductors. The junction of these two wires produces a voltage based on the temperature difference between them and can be used like a switch to open or close the circuit at a designated temperature.

Arithmetic Reasoning

What is the greatest common factor of 52 and 36?

4

The factors of 52 are [1, 2, 4, 13, 26, 52] and the factors of 36 are [1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 36]. They share 3 factors [1, 2, 4] making 4 the greatest factor 52 and 36 have in common.

Electronics Information

The voltage output of a transformer primarily depends on which of the following?

the number of turns in the wire of the coils

A transformer utilizes an inductor to increase or decrease the voltage in a circuit. AC flowing in a coil wrapped around an iron core magnetizes the core causing it to produce a magnetic field. This magnetic field generates a voltage in a nearby coil of wire and, depending on the number of turns in the wire of the primary (source) and secondary coils and their proximity, voltage is induced in the secondary coil.
