1. The energy released during a chemical reaction is called:

• A. Kinetic energy
• B. Potential energy
• C. Heat energy
• D. Exothermic energy

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Exothermic means "outward heat," indicating energy is released during the reaction.

2. A birdbath has a hemispherical bowl with a diameter of 30cm. What is its volume?

• A. 675 cu cm
• B. 1350 cu cm
• C. 2700 cu cm
• D. 4050 cu cm

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Use half the formula for a sphere's volume: (2/3) * π * (radius)^3. Calculate the radius (15cm) and substitute: (2/3) * π * (15cm)^3 ≈ 2700 cu cm.

3. What property of a wave remains unchanged when it passes from one medium to another with the same speed?

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

Correct answer: d

Rationale: The speed of a wave remains constant when passing from one medium to another with the same speed.

4. How does the acceleration of an object change if the force acting on it is doubled?

• A. Acceleration is halved
• B. Acceleration doubles
• C. Acceleration remains unchanged
• D. Acceleration quadruples

Correct answer: b

Rationale: According to Newton's second law (F = ma), if force is doubled and mass remains constant, acceleration doubles.

5. A person pushes a box across a floor with a constant force. The box eventually comes to a stop due to friction. What happens to the work done by the person?

• A. It increases as the box moves further.
• B. It decreases as the box slows down.
• C. It remains constant throughout the motion.
• D. It becomes zero once the box stops.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Work is defined as force multiplied by distance, and as long as the force remains constant, the work done increases proportionally to the distance moved, even if the box slows down due to friction.

6. Katherine is a young Unit Manager of the Pediatric Ward. Most of her staff nurses are senior

• A. Identify the source of the conflict and understand the points of friction
• B. Disregard what she feels and continue to work independently
• C. Seek help from the Director of Nursing
• D. Quit her job and look for another employment.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Seek help from the Director of Nursing. As a young Unit Manager managing a team of senior staff nurses, Katherine may face challenges in leading and gaining the respect of her team due to the age and experience gap. Seeking help from the Director of Nursing can provide her with guidance, mentorship, and support in navigating these challenges. It is important for Katherine to communicate openly about any conflicts or issues she may be facing in order to address them effectively and maintain a positive work environment. Quitting her job (option D) should be considered as a last resort after exhausting all other possible solutions.
