Sample Practice Test Questions

Mechanical Comprehension

The mechanical advantage of a wheel and axle is equal to the:

ratio of the diameters of the wheels

A wheel and axle uses two different diameter wheels mounted to a connecting axle. Force is applied to the larger wheel and large movements of this wheel result in small movements in the smaller wheel. Because a larger movement distance is being translated to a smaller distance, force is increased with a mechanical advantage equal to the ratio of the diameters of the wheels. An example of a wheel and axle is the steering wheel of a car.

General Science

Which of these is not a type of fat?

cholesterol

Fats come in three types, saturated (meats, shellfish, eggs, milk), monounsaturated (olives, almonds, avocados), and polyunsaturated (vegetable oils).

Word Knowledge
Abate most nearly means:
subside
Become less in amount or intensity.
Electronics Information

A capacitor is often used for which of the following purposes?

to maintain power in a circuit when the primary power source is disconnected

Capacitors store electricity and are used in circuits as temporary batteries. Capacitors are charged by DC current (AC current passes through a capacitor) and that stored charge can later be dissipated into the circuit as needed. Capacitors are often used to maintain power within a system when it is disconnected from its primary power source or to smooth out or filter voltage within a circuit.

Word Knowledge
The frugal shopper only bought items that were on sale.
sparing
Thrifty, cheap.
Arithmetic Reasoning

a(b + c) = ab + ac defines which of the following?

distributive property for multiplication

The distributive property for multiplication helps in solving expressions like a(b + c). It specifies that the result of multiplying one number by the sum or difference of two numbers can be obtained by multiplying each number individually and then totaling the results: a(b + c) = ab + ac. For example, 4(10-5) = (4 x 10) - (4 x 5) = 40 - 20 = 20.

Word Knowledge
Dubious most nearly means:
suspect
Questionable.
Mechanical Comprehension

Which of the following is the formula for hydraulic pressure?

P = F/A

Hydraulics is the transmission of force through the use of liquids. Liquids are especially suited for transferring force in complex machines because they compress very little and can occupy very small spaces. Hydraulic pressure is calculated by dividing force by the area over which it is applied: P = F/A where F is force in pounds, A is area in square inches, and the resulting pressure is in pounds per square inch (psi).

Word Knowledge
Precept most nearly means:
rule
A general rule of action.
Shop Information

Which of the following is not a type of electric-arc welding?

oxyacetylene

Welding is a high-temperature process that involves melting the base metals in the objects to be joined to fuse them together. A filler metal is used to provide additional material to make up a joint that, depending on the weld type, can be stronger than the base materials alone. Oxyacetylene welding is a welding process that uses a torch fueled with oxygen and acetylene gases. Electric-arc welding utlizes electric current in a safer welding process (it doesn't involve burning explosive gases) that enables a wide variety of specialized applications like stick, MIG (metal inert gas), and TIG (tungsten inert gas) welding.
