1. What kind of lens focuses parallel light rays to a single point?

• A. Concave lens
• B. Convex lens
• C. Cylindrical lens
• D. Plano lens

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Convex lenses (converging lenses) bend incoming light rays inwards, focusing them to a point called the focal point.

2. Two objects with equal masses collide head-on, both initially moving at the same speed. After the collision, they stick together. What is their final velocity?

• A. Zero
• B. Half their initial velocity
• C. Their initial velocity
• D. Twice their initial velocity

Correct answer: A

Rationale: In an inelastic collision like this, kinetic energy is not conserved, but momentum is. Since the total momentum before the collision was zero (equal and opposite velocities), it must be zero after the collision as well, resulting in both objects stopping.

3. Based on the passage, the author most likely believes that

• A. Individual actions are insignificant in addressing climate change, and only large-scale initiatives matter.
• B. Adaptation to the changing climate is impossible, and societal collapse is inevitable.
• C. Transitioning to renewable energy and sustainable practices offers hope for mitigating climate change.
• D. The scientific evidence for climate change is unreliable, and further research is needed before taking action.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The focus on global efforts, renewable energy, and sustainable practices suggests an optimistic outlook on mitigating climate change, aligning with C.

4. Which of the following sentences uses figurative language?

• A. The scientist conducted an experiment.
• B. The child ran like a cheetah.
• C. The book contained many pages.
• D. The teacher explained the concept clearly.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: This sentence uses a simile, comparing the child's speed to a cheetah's.

5. A nurse needs to dilute 2 milliliters of a concentrated medication with 8 milliliters of sterile water. What is the final concentration of the solution in percent?

• A. 16.67%
• B. 20%
• C. 25%
• D. 50%

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Calculate the total volume of the solution (2 ml + 8 ml = 10 ml). Then, divide the volume of the concentrated medication by the total volume and multiply by 100%: (2 ml / 10 ml) * 100% = 20%.

6. Define the term "momentum" in physics.

• A. Force exerted on an object
• B. Speed of an object in motion
• C. Mass in motion
• D. Distance traveled per unit time

Correct answer: c

Rationale: Momentum is the product of an object's mass and velocity, describing its motion and resistance to changes in motion.
