Question 1
What does linearity mean in a sensor/ADC context?
Correct Answer:
Output is proportional to input within a specified range
Explanation:
Linearity means the output follows a straight-line relationship with the input over the range you care about. In sensors and ADCs, this shows up as a transfer that can be described by y = gain × x + offset, so the output changes at a constant rate as the input changes. If you double the input, the output should double (after accounting for gain and offset) within the specified range. The line can have an offset and a slope, but the key is a constant slope—no bending or curvature within that range. Outside the operating range, nonlinearities may creep in and the relationship stops being perfectly linear. This is why the correct idea is that the output is proportional to input within a specified range. It isn’t required to be exactly equal to the input (that would be a unit gain with zero offset), it isn’t inverse proportional, and it isn’t independent of input.
Question 2
The capacitor reactance Xc is given by Xc = 1/(2π f C). Which statement is true about Xc as frequency increases?
Correct Answer:
Xc decreases with increasing frequency
Explanation:
Capacitive reactance decreases as frequency increases. The magnitude is Xc = 1/(2π f C) = 1/(ωC); as frequency f rises, ω grows, so Xc gets smaller. Physically, a higher frequency means the voltage changes faster, giving the capacitor less time to charge each cycle, which lowers its impedance to the AC current. At DC (f = 0) it would be infinite (open circuit), and at very high frequencies it tends toward zero (acting more like a short). So the statement that Xc decreases with increasing frequency is the correct description. The other possibilities would contradict the inverse relationship with frequency.
Question 3
What is the TC for the Direct Fire Kill Chain?
Correct Answer:
TC 3-20.31-040
Explanation:
Direct Fire Kill Chain is the rapid, sensor-to-shooter sequence used to spot, identify, track, and engage targets with direct-fire weapons. The official publication that defines this chain, its steps, and who does what is TC 3-20.31-040. It lays out the flow from finding and fixing a target, tracking it, developing the firing solution, engaging, and then assessing the effect, all within a direct-fire context. This is the best match because it specifically codifies how direct-fire assets, observers, and fire support work together to deliver a fast, coordinated kill. The other documents are related but not the standard definition of the Direct Fire Kill Chain: one is an amendment to the base publication, another is a different edition, and the remaining references a different scope within fire-support procedures.
Question 4
Compute the magnitude of Γ for Z0 = 50 Ω and ZL = 25 + j40 Ω.
Correct Answer:
|Γ| ≈ 0.20
Explanation:
The quantity being tested is the magnitude of the reflection coefficient on a transmission line, which is |Γ| = |ZL − Z0| / |ZL + Z0|. With Z0 = 50 and ZL = 25 + j40, compute the two magnitudes: ZL − Z0 = (25 − 50) + j40 = −25 + j40, whose magnitude is √((-25)² + 40²) = √(625 + 1600) = √2225 ≈ 47.17. ZL + Z0 = (25 + 50) + j40 = 75 + j40, whose magnitude is √(75² + 40²) = √(5625 + 1600) = √7225 = 85. Thus |Γ| ≈ 47.17 / 85 ≈ 0.554, about 0.56. So the correct magnitude is around 0.56, not 0.20; the listed option near 0.56 is the match, indicating a possible misprint in the provided answer.
Question 5
Maximum Ordinate?
Correct Answer:
The maximum height the projectile will travel above the line of sight on its path to the target.
Explanation:
Maximum ordinate is the greatest vertical separation between the projectile’s flight path and the straight line from the launcher to the target. In other words, it’s how far the arc rises above the line of sight as it travels toward the target. This measures clearance relative to the line of sight, not height above the ground or the launch angle. For a level target, the line of sight is horizontal, so the maximum ordinate is simply the peak height above the launch level.
