Sample Practice Test Questions

Electronics Information

The conversion of alternating current (AC) into direct current (DC) is called:

rectification

A diode allows current to pass easily in one direction and blocks current in the other direction. Diodes are commonly used for rectification which is the conversion of alternating current (AC) into direct current (DC). Because a diode only allows current flow in one direction, it will pass either the upper or lower half of AC waves (half-wave rectification) creating pulsating DC. Multiple diodes can be connected together to utilize both halves of the AC signal in full-wave rectification.

Arithmetic Reasoning

What is 7\( \sqrt{4} \) x 6\( \sqrt{4} \)?

168

To multiply terms with radicals, multiply the coefficients and radicands separately:

7\( \sqrt{4} \) x 6\( \sqrt{4} \)
(7 x 6)\( \sqrt{4 \times 4} \)
42\( \sqrt{16} \)

Now we need to simplify the radical:

42\( \sqrt{16} \)
42\( \sqrt{4^2} \)
(42)(4)
168

Word Knowledge
Obnoxious most nearly means:
objectionable
Highly offensive.
Math Knowledge

What is the area of a circle with a radius of 2?

The formula for area is πr2:

a = πr2
a = π(22)
a = 4π

Word Knowledge
Induce most nearly means:
incite
To influence or cause.
Shop Information

Which of the following statements about welding is not true?

no filler metal is required when welding

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.

Mechanical Comprehension
Only multiplies the effort force

Which of the following statements about this pulley configuration is false?

Only multiplies the effort force

A block and tackle is a combination of one or more fixed pulleys and one or more movable pulleys where the fixed pulleys change the direction of the effort force and the movable pulleys multiply it. The mechanical advantage is equal to the number of times the effort force changes direction and can be increased by adding more pulley wheels to the system. An easy way to find the mechanical advantage of a block and tackle pulley system is to count the number of ropes that support the resistance.

Mechanical Comprehension

For any given surface, the coefficient of static friction is ___________ the coefficient of kinetic friction.

higher than

For any given surface, the coefficient of static friction is higher than the coefficient of kinetic friction. More force is required to initally get an object moving than is required to keep it moving. Additionally, static friction only arises in response to an attempt to move an object (overcome the normal force between it and the surface).

Mechanical Comprehension
70 lbs. of effort is used by a machine to lift a 350 lbs. box. What is the mechanical advantage of the machine?
5

Mechanical advantage is resistance force divided by effort force:

MA = \( \frac{F_r}{F_e} \) = \( \frac{350 lbs.}{70 lbs.} \) = 5

Word Knowledge
Clairvoyance most nearly means:
divination
Ability to see things beyond ordinary perception.
