Word Knowledge
Exalt most nearly means:
glorify
To elevate by praise.
Automotive Information

What cylinder arrangement would be most common in a four cylinder front-wheel drive vehicle?

inline

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.

Mechanical Comprehension
Only multiplies the effort force

Which of the following statements about this pulley configuration is false?

Only multiplies the effort force

A block and tackle is a combination of one or more fixed pulleys and one or more movable pulleys where the fixed pulleys change the direction of the effort force and the movable pulleys multiply it. The mechanical advantage is equal to the number of times the effort force changes direction and can be increased by adding more pulley wheels to the system. An easy way to find the mechanical advantage of a block and tackle pulley system is to count the number of ropes that support the resistance.

General Science

In cell biology, cytokinesis results in two separate:

cells

During cell division, the cytokinesis phase occurs when cytoplasm and cell membranes complete their separation resulting in two separate cells.

Arithmetic Reasoning

On average, the center for a basketball team hits 50% of his shots while a guard on the same team hits 60% of his shots. If the guard takes 25 shots during a game, how many shots will the center have to take to score as many points as the guard assuming each shot is worth the same number of points?

30
If the guard hits 60% of his shots and takes 25 shots he'll make:

guard shots made = shots taken x \( \frac{\text{% made}}{100} \) = 25 x \( \frac{60}{100} \) = \( \frac{60 x 25}{100} \) = \( \frac{1500}{100} \) = 15 shots

The center makes 50% of his shots so he'll have to take:

shots made = shots taken x \( \frac{\text{% made}}{100} \)
shots taken = \( \frac{\text{shots taken}}{\frac{\text{% made}}{100}} \)

to make as many shots as the guard. Plugging in values for the center gives us:

center shots taken = \( \frac{15}{\frac{50}{100}} \) = 15 x \( \frac{100}{50} \) = \( \frac{15 x 100}{50} \) = \( \frac{1500}{50} \) = 30 shots

to make the same number of shots as the guard and thus score the same number of points.

Mechanical Comprehension

Potential energy is energy that has the potential to be converted into what?

 kinetic energy

Potential energy is the energy of an object by virtue of its position relative to other objects. It is energy that has the potential to be converted into kinetic energy.

Word Knowledge
The repentant Dana admitted to cheating on the test.
contrite
Feeling regret.
Mechanical Comprehension

Depending on where you apply effort and resistance, the wheel and axle can multiply:

force or speed

If you apply the resistance to the axle and the effort to the wheel, the wheel and axle will multiply force and if you apply the resistance to the wheel and the effort to the axle, it will multiply speed.

Mechanical Comprehension
3.13 ft. A = 5 ft., the green box weighs 50 lbs., and the blue box weighs 80 lbs. What does distance B need to be for this lever to balance?
3.13 ft.
In order for this lever to balance, the torque acting on side A must equal the torque acting on side B. Torque is weight x distance from the fulcrum which means that the following must be true for the lever to balance:

fAdA = fBdB

For this problem, the equation becomes:

50 lbs. x 5 ft. = 80 lbs. x dB

dB = \( \frac{50 \times 5 ft⋅lb}{80 lbs.} \) = \( \frac{250 ft⋅lb}{80 lbs.} \) = 3.13 ft.

Word Knowledge
Defiant most nearly means:
impudent
Showing bold resistance.
