1. The three main types of muscle tissue in the human body are:

• A. Smooth, cardiac, and voluntary skeletal
• B. Smooth, skeletal, and involuntary cardiac
• C. Voluntary smooth, cardiac, and skeletal
• D. Striated, non-striated, and epithelial

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Smooth, cardiac, and voluntary skeletal. Smooth muscle is found in the walls of internal organs and blood vessels, cardiac muscle makes up the heart, and voluntary skeletal muscle is attached to the bones and responsible for movement. Choice B is incorrect because cardiac muscle is involuntary, not voluntary. Choice C is incorrect because smooth muscle and cardiac muscle are involuntary, not voluntary. Choice D is incorrect because 'striated' and 'non-striated' refer to the appearance of muscle fibers, not the main types of muscle tissue in the body.

2. Two objects with different masses collide. What happens to their momentum after the collision?

• A. Increases for both objects
• B. Decreases for both objects
• C. Remains the same for both objects
• D. Can increase for one and decrease for the other

Correct answer: C

Rationale: In an isolated system (no external forces), the total momentum

3. What type of force opposes the motion of an object moving through a fluid (liquid or gas)?

• A. Gravitational force
• B. Tension force
• C. Viscous force
• D. Magnetic force

Correct answer: c

Rationale: Viscous force is the resistance experienced by an object moving through a fluid due to internal friction.

4. Relatively prime numbers share no common factors other than 1. Which of the following pairs of numbers are relatively prime?

• A. 12 and 16
• B. 15 and 17
• C. 20 and 24
• D. 28 and 36

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Rationale: - Relatively prime numbers are numbers that share no common factors other than 1. - To determine if two numbers are relatively prime, we need to find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the two numbers. If the GCD is 1, then the numbers are relatively prime. - Let's calculate the GCD for each pair of numbers: A) GCD(12, 16) = 4, not relatively prime B) GCD(15, 17) = 1, relatively prime C) GCD(20, 24) = 4, not relatively prime D) GCD(28, 36) = 4, not relatively prime Therefore, the pair of numbers 15 and 17 are relatively prime because their greatest common divisor is 1, meaning they share no common factors other than 1.

5. Cartilage, a type of connective tissue, provides flexible support in various structures. Which of these does NOT contain cartilage?

• A. Ears
• B. Joints
• C. Muscles
• D. Nose

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Muscles do not contain cartilage. Cartilage is a specialized type of connective tissue that provides flexible support in structures like the ears, joints, and nose. Ears have cartilage in their structure, which helps maintain their shape and flexibility. Joints, such as the knee and elbow, have cartilage to cushion and reduce friction between bones. The nose also contains cartilage, forming its shape and structure. Muscles, on the other hand, are made up of muscle tissue and do not contain cartilage. Therefore, muscles are the correct answer as they do not contain cartilage, unlike the other options.

6. Which property of a wave determines its energy?

• A. Wavelength
• B. Amplitude
• C. Frequency
• D. Velocity

Correct answer: b

Rationale: Amplitude is directly related to the energy carried by a wave - higher amplitudes correspond to higher energy waves.
