Sample Practice Test Questions
In the heart, blood flows from the right __________ to the lungs then back to the heart via the left __________.
ventricle, atrium
The two largest veins in the body, the venae cavae, pass blood to the right ventricle which pumps the blood to the lungs through the pulmonary artery. Blood picks up oxygen in the lungs and returns it to the left atrium via the pulmonary vein.
Connecting the 10 batteries in series multiplies their voltage while keeping their current the same yielding a 60V 5A configuration. Connecting the 10 batteries in parallel multiplies their current while keeping their voltage the same yielding a 6V 50A configuration. Using a series-parallel connection, 5 batteries can be connected in series and 5 can be connected in parallel resulting in a 30V 25A configuration.
Which of the following converts electrical energy into another form of energy in an electrical circuit?
load
A load is a source of resistance that converts electrical energy into another form of energy. The components of a microwave, for example, are loads that work together to convert household electricity into radation that can be used to quickly cook food.
"For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction." This describes which of Newton's laws of motion?
third
Newton's third law of motion states that For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. When an object exerts a force on another object, the second object exerts a force of equal magnitude in the opposite direction on the first object.
Which of the following is not true about a line drop?
it is addressed by raising current and lowering voltage across the ransmission line
Electricity is delivered from power stations to customers as AC because it provides a more efficient way to transport electricity over long distances. A line drop is a decrease in voltage between two points on an electrical transmission line due to resistance in the line. A lower current and higher voltage across the line will help compensate for the line drop.
Which type of screwdriver has a straight slot in the top?
slotted
Screwdrivers come in many different handle, shaft, and tip configurations for use in a wide variety of applications. Screwdrivers are classified by their tip which is shaped to fit a corresponding screw head. Common tips are slotted (flat) and Phillips (x-shaped).
In fermentation, what replaces oxygen in anaerobic respiration?
lactic acid or alcohol
If no oxygen is present, cellular respiration is anaerobic and will result in fermentation where either lactic acid or alcohol is used instead of oxygen.
212°F is how many °C?
100
The formula to convert from F° to C° is:
\(C° = {5 \over 9} (F° - 32)\)
plugging in our values gives:
\(C° = {5 \over 9} (212 - 32)\)
\(C° = {5 \over 9} (180) = {{180 \times 5} \over 9}\)
\(C° = {900 \over 9}\)
\(C° = 100\)
