Sample Practice Test Questions

General Science

Absolute zero is which of the following?

the coldest temperature possible in the universe

In contrast to the Celsius scale (measured in degrees centigrade) that fixes 0° at the freezing point of water and the Fahrenheit scale that uses 32°, the Kelvin scale fixes 0 at absolute zero (-273°C) which is the lowest temperature possible in the universe.

Mechanical Comprehension

For any given surface, the coefficient of static friction is ___________ the coefficient of kinetic friction.

higher than

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).

Electronics Information

A transistor works by allowing a small amount of current to control general current flow. Where is the small amount of current applied?

base

The transistor is the foundation of modern electronic devices. It is made entirely from semiconductor material (making it a solid state device) and can serve many different functions in a circuit including acting as a switch, amplifier, or current regulator. A transistor works by allowing a small amount of current applied at the base to control general current flow from collector to emitter through the transistor.

Shop Information

You're replacing the hubcaps on a car. Which of the following are you most likely to use?

rubber mallet

A mallet is a hammer with a relatively large head, often made of rubber or wood. Both the size and material of the mallet head help prevent damage when striking more delicate surfaces.

Word Knowledge
Pantomime most nearly means:
charade
Telling a story through gestures.
Mechanical Comprehension

Which of the following will increase the mechanical advantage of a second-class lever?

move the object being lifted closer to the fulcrum

A second-class lever is used to increase force on an object in the same direction as the force is applied. This lever requires a smaller force to lift a larger load but the force must be applied over a greater distance. The fulcrum is placed at one end of the lever and mechanical advantage increases as the object being lifted is moved closer to the fulcrum or the length of the lever is increased. An example of a second-class lever is a wheelbarrow.

Word Knowledge
Futile most nearly means:
hopeless
Without purpose, completely ineffective.
Shop Information

Which of the following saws would you use for creating a curved cut in wood?

coping saw

Wood saws are categorized by their teeth shape and the number of teeth per inch (TPI). The higher the TPI of a saw the finer the cut it will make. Crosscut saws utilize knife-shaped teeth that cut across the grain of the wood while rip saws cut with the grain using chisel-shaped teeth that rip the wood cells apart as the cut is made. The kerf (slot) made by by a crosscut saw is much smoother than that made by a rip saw but a rip saw cuts much faster. Coping saws are a type of bow saw used to make detailed often curving cuts using replaceable blades with fine small teeth.

Mechanical Comprehension

Specific gravity is a comparison of the density of an object with the density of:

water

Specific gravity is the ratio of the density of equal volumes of a substance and water and is measured by a hyrdometer.

Mechanical Comprehension

Which of the following surfaces would have the lowest coefficient of friction?

ice

Coefficient of friction (μ) represents how much two materials resist sliding across each other.  Smooth surfaces like ice have low coefficients of friction while rough surfaces like concrete have high μ.
