Sample Practice Test Questions

General Science

Elements in the Periodic Table of the Elements are ordered by which of the following?

atomic number

The Periodic Table of the Elements categorizes elements primarily by the number of protons in their nucleus (atomic number) and secondarily by the characteristics they exhibit.

Arithmetic Reasoning

This property states taht the order of addition or multiplication does not mater. For example, 2 + 5 and 5 + 2 are equivalent.

commutative

The commutative property states that, when adding or multiplying numbers, the order in which they're added or multiplied does not matter. For example, 3 + 4 and 4 + 3 give the same result, as do 3 x 4 and 4 x 3.

Electronics Information

Which of the following statements about a capacitor is false?

it is safe to touch a capacitor with your hands as long as it is small

The purpose of a capacitor is to retain electric charge and it will do so even after its input voltage is removed. After the input voltage is removed, the capacitor will slowly discharge but, depending on the size and characteristics of the capacitor, discharging could take from a few minutes to a few years. So, it's never safe to touch a capacitor with your hands and you should make sure to discharge any capacitors in a circuit before working on it using an appropriately high-wattage resistor or a capacitor discharge tool.

Automotive Information

Which of the following is not a common vehicle cylinder arrangement?

vertical

Cylinder number and arrangement depends on the purpose of the engine. Smaller (four and six cylinder) engines in front-wheel drive vehicles often use an inline design which orients cylinders vertically over the crankshaft and aligns them in a row. Other common orientations are a horizontal/opposed design which places cylinders flat facing each other with the crankshaft between them and a V-type design common in six and eight cylinder engines that features one cylinder head per block of cylinders oriented at a 60 to 90 degree angle to each other with the crankshaft at the bottom of the V.

Automotive Information

A constant velocity (CV) joint is closely related to which of the following?

universal joint

Like CV joints, universal joints (U-joints) are located at each end of a drive shaft and allow the shaft to operate at a variable angle with the item it is driving. Universal joints perform the same basic function as CV joints but CV joints have a wider range of operation.

Automotive Information

Which engine component converts the reciprocating motion of the piston into the rotational motion that's used to power the vehicle and its components?

crankshaft

The crankshaft converts the reciprocating motion of the piston into the rotational motion that's used to power the vehicle and its components.

Electronics Information
potentiometer

This circuit component symbol represents a(n):

potentiometer

Resistors are used to limit voltage and/or current in a circuit and can have a fixed or variable resistance.  Variable resistors (often called potentiometers or rheostats) are used when dynamic control over the voltage/current in a circuit is needed, for example, in a light dimmer or volume control.

Automotive Information

What links each piston to the engine's crankshaft?

connecting rod

A connecting rod employs a wrist pin to link each piston to the engine's crankshaft.

General Science

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity per unit of time. Which of these is the formula for acceleration?

\(\vec{a} = { \Delta \vec{v} \over t }\)

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity per unit of time. In physics, the delta symbol (\(\Delta\)) represents change so the formula for acceleration becomes  \(\vec{a} = { \Delta \vec{v} \over t }\)

Electronics Information

Why does current in an electric circuit create heat?

heat is created when the current overcomes resistance in the wire

Current in an electric circuit creates heat when the current overcomes resistance in the wire.
