Sample Practice Test Questions
Which of the following expressions contains exactly two terms?
binomial
A monomial contains one term, a binomial contains two terms, and a polynomial contains more than two terms.
If the green box weighs 55 lbs. and is 3 ft. from the fulcrum, how far from the fulcrum would a 70 lbs. weight need to be placed to balance the lever?
To balance this lever the torques on each side of the fulcrum must be equal. Torque is weight x distance from the fulcrum so the equation for equilibrium is:
Rada = Rbdb
where a represents the left side of the fulcrum and b the right, R is resistance (weight) and d is the distance from the fulcrum.Solving for db, our missing value, and plugging in our variables yields:
db = \( \frac{R_ad_a}{R_b} \) = \( \frac{55 lbs. \times 3 ft.}{70 lbs.} \) = \( \frac{165 ft⋅lb}{70 lbs.} \) = 2.36 ft.
If the length of AB equals the length of BD, point B __________ this line segment.
bisects
A line segment is a portion of a line with a measurable length. The midpoint of a line segment is the point exactly halfway between the endpoints. The midpoint bisects (cuts in half) the line segment.
What part of the nervous system controls simple reflexes?
spinal cord
The spinal cord connects the brain to the body's network of nerves. It carries impulses between all organs and the brain and controls simple reflexes.
Which of these saws is used with a miter box?
back saw
A miter box utlizes a back saw (a fine toothed saw with a rigid strip of steel opposite its blade edge) to make cuts in wood at a specified angle.
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.
Convert -20C° to F°.
-4
To convert from C° to F° use:
\(F° = {9 \over 5}C° + 32\)
\(F° = {9 \over 5}(-20) + 32\)
\(F° = {-180 \over 5} + 32\)
\(F° = -36 + 32 = -4\)
What type of energy does an automotive battery produce?
direct current
An automotive battery produces direct current for use by automotive systems.
