Sample Practice Test Questions
The gravitational interaction of Earth and the Moon is responsible for which of these?
tides
Tides are caused by the gravitational interaction of Earth and the Moon.
Which of the following states of matter exists at the highest temperature?
gas
Solids exist at a lower temperature than liquids which exist at a lower temperature than gases.
I biome is made up of naturally occurring flora and fauna. Fauna is which of the following?
animals
A biome is a large naturally occurring community of flora (plants) and fauna (animals) occupying a major habitat (home or environment).
What is the body's largest artery?
aorta
The aorta is the body's largest artery and receives blood from the pulmonary vein via the left ventricle. From there, blood is circulated through the rest of the body through smaller arteries called arterioles that branch out from the heart. Finally, blood is delivered to bodily tissues through capillaries.
The sum of the voltage drops across each resistor in a __________ circuit will equal the total voltage applied to the circuit.
series
A series circuit has only one path for current to flow. In a series circuit, current (I) is the same throughout the circuit and is equal to the total voltage (V) applied to the circuit divided by the total resistance (R) of the loads in the circuit. The sum of the voltage drops across each resistor in the circuit will equal the total voltage applied to the circuit.
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.
__________ results from oil buildup in the combustion chamber.
preignition
Preignition results from the buildup of fuel deposits and/or oil in the combustion chamber. These deposits increase chamber pressure and reduce heat tranfer to the coolant. The trapped heat then raises the temperature of the air-fuel mix to the point that it combusts before ignition.
