Sample Practice Test Questions
The large intestine does which of the following?
processes the physical waste produced by digestion
The large intestine (colon) follows the small intestine and processes the physical waste produced by digestion, absorbing water and minerials that remain back into the body. Solid waste is then stored in the rectum while liquid waste is stored in the bladder.
What is a caliper used for?
transferring distances between objects
Calipers are similar to micrometers in shape but instead of measuring distances, calipers are used to transfer distances between objects. An outside caliper is used to transfer outside dimensions while an inside caliper is used to transfer inside distances. A vernier caliper is an extremely precise caliper (down to \({1 \over 1000}\) inch) that allows measuring / transferring either inside or outside dimensions.
How are the cylinders numbered in V-type engines?
cylinder numbering varies by manufacturer
In V-type engines the numbering sequence varies by manufacturer.
This property states taht the order of addition or multiplication does not mater. For example, 2 + 5 and 5 + 2 are equivalent.
commutative
The commutative property states that, when adding or multiplying numbers, the order in which they're added or multiplied does not matter. For example, 3 + 4 and 4 + 3 give the same result, as do 3 x 4 and 4 x 3.
Electrons will flow as current from areas of __________ potential (concentration of electrons) to areas of __________ potential.
high, low
Voltage (V) is the electrical potential difference between two points. Electrons will flow as current from areas of high potential (concentration of electrons) to areas of low potential. Voltage and current are directly proportional in that the higher the voltage applied to a conductor the higher the current that will result.
When two lines intersect, adjacent angles are __________ (they add up to 180°) and angles across from either other are __________ (they're equal).
supplementary, vertical
Angles around a line add up to 180°. Angles around a point add up to 360°. When two lines intersect, adjacent angles are supplementary (they add up to 180°) and angles across from either other are vertical (they're equal).
Which of the following is not a terrestrial planet?
Jupiter
The four planets closest to the Sun (Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars) are called terrestrial (Earth-like) planets because, like the Earth, they're solid with inner metal cores covered by rocky surfaces.
