MECHANICAL COMPREHENSION ASVAB
TEST QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
What is Newton's Third Law of Motion? - ANSWER Every action has an equal
and opposite reaction.
Equilibrium is the state in which opposing forces or influences are balanced.
What is the definition and hazard of recoil? - ANSWER Recoil refers to the act
of "kicking back" or springing back after being released. It may be risky since
there is a risk of injury if equipment "leaps back" suddenly.
Another term for misleading gravity is ____. - ANSWER Centrifugal Force
Centrifugal force is the only expression that correctly captures the concept of
gravity. While tension, Newton's Law, and friction are all included in this
section of the test, centrifugal force is the sole correct illustration of artificial
gravity.
"To adopt power" means ____ when working - ANSWER to increase speed and
efficiency in order to perform at your peak.
Power in physical labour is centred on giving one's utmost, including increasing
overall speed and efficiency.
If the gear shafts are not parallel, use a ____. - ANSWER Bevel Gear
Bevel gears are the only ones that can fix problems with parallel gears.
What are the benefits of using wheels and axles? - ANSWER Wheels and axles
provide more power, allowing workers to attain better results with less effort.
What is the purpose of a vice in mechanical applications? - ANSWER In
mechanical applications, vises are employed to stop motion. A vise's aim is to
hold an object in a single place. Not utilised for forward propulsion or to merely
slow down efforts.
A hydraulic jack moves objects by ___. - ANSWER using oil; because oil
cannot be compressed, pressure is applied to it, resulting in lifting action.
