Sample Practice Test Questions
You are using a hacksaw to cut a Class 8 bolt. What is the most appropriate TPI for your saw blade?
18 TPI
A Class 8 bolt is made of very hard metal and larger TPI saw blades are most appropriate for very hard metals.
The fuel injector is regulated by the __________ which is the main computer that controls engine and transmission functions.
powertrain control module
The fuel injector sprays fuel into the air stream that's being fed into the cylinder head via the intake valve. The timing and amount of fuel are regulated by the powertrain control module (PCM) which is the main computer that controls engine and transmission functions.
A biological community of interacting organisms and their physical environment is known as:
ecosystem
An ecosystem is a biological community of interacting organisms and their physical environment. This includes both the biotic (living) and abiotic (non-living).
The piston moves downward in the cylinder creating a vacuum that pulls an air-fuel mix into the combustion chamber. This describes which engine stroke?
intake
The four-stroke piston cycle of internal combustion engines starts with the piston at top of the cylinder head (top dead center or TDC) during the intake stroke. The piston moves downward in the cylinder creating a vacuum that pulls an air-fuel mix into the combustion chamber through the now open intake valve.
Which of the following is a characteristic of batteries connected in parallel?
total current equals the sum of the individual battery currents
You can multiply the voltage or the current supplied by individual batteries by connecting them together either in series or in parallel. The characteristics of batteries connected in parallel are that total voltage equals the average of the individual battery voltages, total current equals the sum of the individual battery currents, the positive terminal of one battery is connected to the positive terminal of the next, the negative terminal of one battery is connected to the negative terminal of the next, and two connections are made between each adjacent battery.
The fuel injectors are fed fuel by the:
electric fuel pump
The electric fuel pump feeds pressurized fuel through a fuel filter to the fuel injectors via the fuel rail manifold. The fuel rail contains the fuel pressure regulator which ensures that the fuel injectors receive fuel at a consistent and known rate. Excess fuel bled off by the pressure regulator returns to the fuel tank through the fuel return line.
