Sample Practice Test Questions
Which of the following is metamorphic rock?
marble
The Earth's rocks fall into three categories based on how they're formed. Igneous rock (granite, basalt, obsidian) is formed from the hardening of molten rock (lava), sedimentary rock (shale, sandstone, coal) is formed by the gradual despositing and cementing of rock and other debris, and metamorphic rock (marble, slate, quartzite) which is formed when existing rock is altered though pressure, temperature, or chemical processes.
Connected gears of different numbers of teeth are used together to change which of the following charasteristics of the input force?
torque
Connected gears of different numbers of teeth are used together to change the rotational speed and torque of the input force. If the smaller gear drives the larger gear, the speed of rotation will be reduced and the torque will increase. If the larger gear drives the smaller gear, the speed of rotation will increase and the torque will be reduced.
The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 5, length (l) = 1, and width (w) = 4. What is the volume?
The volume of a cube is height x length x width:
v = h x l x w
v = 5 x 1 x 4
v = 20
A factor is a positive __________ that divides evenly into a given number.
integer
A factor is a positive integer that divides evenly into a given number. For example, the factors of 8 are 1, 2, 4, and 8.
Ignition timing defines the point in time at the end of the compression stroke that which of the following happens?
spark plugs fire
Ignition timing defines the point in time at the end of the compression stroke that the spark plug fires. Measured in number of degrees before top dead center (BTDC), the exact point that the spark plugs initiate combustion varies depending on the speed of the engine. The timing is advanced (the spark plugs fire a few more degrees BTDC) when the engine is running faster and retarded when it's running slower.
__________ is caused by a lack of iron in the diet.
anemia
Anemia, which may cause weakness, dizziness, and headaches is caused by a lack of iron in the diet.
What kind of weather front is likely to create clouds and storms?
warm front
A warm front is the boundary between warm and cool (or cold) air when the warm air is replacing the cold air. Warm air at the surface pushes above the cool air mass creating clouds and storms.
