Question 1 · Army Aviation Information Test
Which of the following best describes the purpose of Bernoulli’s Principle in aviation?
Answer: B. To describe lift generation over a wing
Bernoulli’s Principle explains how increased airspeed over the curved upper surface of a wing reduces pressure, generating lift.
Question 2 · Reading Comprehension Test
Which of the following strategies is most effective for identifying the main idea of a paragraph?
Answer: C. Pay attention to the first and last sentence of the paragraph
The main idea is often introduced in the first sentence and reinforced or summarized in the last sentence.
Question 3 · Mathematics
Which of the following numbers is divisible by both 4 and 6?
Answer: D. 24
24 ÷ 4 = 6 and 24 ÷ 6 = 4.
Question 4 · Mechanical Comprehension Test
Which of the following represents Newton’s First Law?
Answer: C. Objects in motion stay in motion unless acted on
Newton’s First Law describes inertia—motion continues unless interrupted.
Question 5 · Momentumandimpulse
Which of the following is a characteristic of liquids but not gases?
Answer: B. They have a fixed volume
Liquids have a definite volume, unlike gases which expand to fill their container.
Question 6 · Army Aviation Information Test
Which aerodynamic force acts perpendicular to the relative wind and supports the aircraft in flight?
Answer: D. Lift
Lift acts perpendicular to the relative wind and counteracts weight, allowing the aircraft to stay aloft.
Question 7 · Reading Comprehension Test
Which reading strategy is most effective when encountering long, unfamiliar passages?
Answer: B. Skip to the questions first
Reading the questions first helps you identify what information to look for, saving time and improving focus.
Question 8 · Mathematics
What is a common multiple of 4 and 6?
Answer: B. 24
24 is divisible by both 4 and 6.
Question 9 · Mechanical Comprehension Test
Which quantity includes both magnitude and direction?
Answer: B. Velocity
Velocity is a vector quantity and includes direction, unlike speed.
Question 10 · Mechanical Comprehension Test
What happens to fluid pressure as velocity increases?
Answer: B. Pressure decreases
According to Bernoulli’s Principle, fluid pressure decreases as velocity increases.
