1. What is the difference between a real image and a virtual image formed by a lens?

• A. Real images can be projected onto a screen, while virtual images cannot.
• B. Real images are always upright, while virtual images can be inverted.
• C. Real images are formed by converging lenses, while virtual images are formed by diverging lenses.
• D. All of the above are true.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Real images are formed by the actual convergence of light rays and can be projected onto a screen, while virtual images are formed by the apparent divergence of light rays and cannot be projected.

2. What is the process by which a large, unstable nucleus splits into two smaller nuclei, releasing neutrons and energy?

• A. Alpha decay
• B. Beta decay
• C. Gamma decay
• D. Nuclear fission

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Nuclear fission involves splitting a heavy nucleus into smaller fragments, releasing neutrons and energy.

3. Define "friction" in terms of opposing motion.

• A. A force that increases motion
• B. A force that accelerates motion
• C. A force that opposes motion
• D. A force that creates motion

Correct answer: c

Rationale: Friction acts opposite to the direction of motion, resisting or slowing down the movement of objects.

4. A spring with a spring constant of 100 N/m is stretched 0.2 m from its equilibrium position. What is the potential energy stored in the spring?

• A. 2 J
• B. 4 J
• C. 8 J
• D. 20 J

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Potential energy in a spring is calculated as 1/2 * k * x², where k is the spring constant and x is the displacement from equilibrium. Therefore, the potential energy is 1/2 * 100 N/m * (0.2 m)² = 4 J.

5. The author most likely included information about the Silk Road to...

• A. Introduce a famous tourist destination.
• B. Explain the architectural style of Petra.
• C. Emphasize the historical context of the city.
• D. Compare Petra to other ancient trade centers.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The Silk Road directly impacts Petra's history and prosperity, making it relevant to the historical context

6. A patient weighs 180 pounds. What is their weight in kilograms (1kg = 2.2lbs)?

• A. 68kg
• B. 75kg
• C. 82kg
• D. 90kg

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Divide the weight in pounds (180) by the conversion factor (2.2lbs/kg).
