Sample Practice Test Questions
A screw is most like which of the following other simple machines?
inclined plane
A screw is an inclined plane wrapped in ridges (threads) around a cylinder. The distance between these ridges defines the pitch of the screw and this distance is how far the screw advances when it is turned once. The mechanical advantage of a screw is its circumference divided by the pitch.
Which of blood component carries oxygen?
red blood cells
Blood is created in bone marrow and is made up of cells suspended in liquid plasma. Red blood cells carry oxygen, white blood cells fight infection, and platelets are cell fragments that allow blood to clot.
The catalytic converter output consists primarily of:
water and carbon dioxide
The catalytic converter converts pollutants in exhaust gas into less pollutant substances like carbon dioxide and water.
Which of the following is related to the Cambrian Explosion?
fossil record
The Cambrian period is one of the most significant geological time periods. Lasting about 53 million years, it marked a dramatic burst of changes in life on Earth known as the Cambrian Explosion. It is from this period that the majority of the history of life on Earth, as documented by fossils, is found. Called the fossil record, the layering of these mineralized imprints of organisms preserved in sedementary rock have allowed geologists to build a historical record of plant and animal life on Earth.
If b = 9 and z = 8, what is the value of 2b(b - z)?
To solve this equation, replace the variables with the values given and then solve the now variable-free equation. (Remember order of operations, PEMDAS, Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication/Division, Addition/Subtraction.)
2b(b - z)
2(9)(9 - 8)
2(9)(1)
(18)(1)
18
Which of the following is not a component in the engine lubrication system?
differential
In engine lubrication, oil remains in the oil pan until the engine is turned on. It then gets sucked up the pickup tube by the oil pump and pressurized. This pressure is moderated by the pressure relief valve and the oil is fed through the oil filter into the engine to lubricate it.
