Sample Practice Test Questions
Coolant is circulated through the engine by the:
water pump
The water pump is driven by a belt connected to the crankshaft and ensures that coolant moves through the engine and radiator.
Stratus clouds are __________clouds characterized by horizontal layering with a broad flat base.
low-altitude
Clouds are categorized based on their shape, size, and altitude. Stratus clouds are low-altitude clouds characterized by horizontal layering with a broad flat base. When stratus clouds occur on the ground the result is fog.
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.
Electrical power is measured in:
watts
Electrical power is measured in watts (W) and is calculated by multiplying the voltage (V) applied to a circuit by the resulting current (I) that flows in the circuit: P = IV. In addition to measuring production capacity, power also measures the rate of energy consumption and many loads are rated for their consumption capacity. For example, a 60W lightbulb utilizes 60W of energy to produce the equivalent of 60W of heat and light energy.
The fuel pressure regulator ensures that the fuel injectors receive fuel at a consistent and known rate. The fuel pressure regulator is part of the:
fuel rail
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.
Which of the following is the formula for work?
\(W = \vec{F}\vec{d}\)
Work is performed on an object when an applied force causes displacement along the same vector. Measured in joules (J) or newton-meter (Nm), work is calculated by multiplying force times displacement: \(W = \vec{F}\vec{d}\)
Solve for x:
x2 - 5x - 6 = 0
The first step to solve a quadratic equation that's set to zero is to factor the quadratic equation:
x2 - 5x - 6 = 0
(x + 1)(x - 6) = 0
For this expression to be true, the left side of the expression must equal zero. Therefore, either (x + 1) or (x - 6) must equal zero:
If (x + 1) = 0, x must equal -1
If (x - 6) = 0, x must equal 6
So the solution is that x = -1 or 6
