1. What is the name for the tiny particles that make up atoms?

• A. Protons
• B. Electrons
• C. Neutrons
• D. Subatomic particles

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Protons, neutrons, and electrons are all subatomic particles that make up atoms.

2. Which type of orbital can hold a maximum of 10 electrons?

• A. s orbital
• B. p orbital
• C. d orbital
• D. f orbital

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Each f orbital can hold up to 2 electrons, and there are 5 f orbitals, totaling a maximum of 10 electrons.

3. As a young manager, she knows that conflict occurs in any organization. Which of the

• A. Can be destructive if the level is too high
• B. Is not beneficial; hence it should be prevented at all times
• C. May result in poor performance
• D.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Conflict in an organization is a natural occurrence that can either be constructive or destructive. Option C is the correct answer because conflict may indeed lead to poor performance if not managed effectively. When conflict is left unresolved or unaddressed, it can create tension, decrease morale, and hinder productivity. By recognizing that conflict can impact performance, the young manager can take proactive steps to address and resolve conflicts in a constructive manner to minimize its negative effects and promote a healthy work environment.

4. Vaccines work by:

• A. Directly killing pathogens
• B. Introducing weakened or inactive versions of pathogens to trigger immune response
• C. Stimulating production of specific antibodies immediately
• D. None of the above

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Introducing weakened or inactive versions of pathogens to trigger an immune response. Vaccines work by exposing the immune system to a harmless version of a pathogen, which allows the body to recognize and develop a defense against the pathogen without causing illness. This process stimulates the immune system to produce memory cells that can quickly recognize and attack the pathogen if encountered in the future. Vaccines do not directly kill pathogens (option A) or immediately stimulate the production of specific antibodies (option C). Therefore, option B is the most accurate description of how vaccines work.

5. Define work in physics.

• A. Force applied to an object at rest
• B. Force exerted by an object in motion
• C. Transfer of energy through motion along a direction
• D. Measure of an object's potential energy

Correct answer: c

Rationale: Work in physics is the transfer of energy when a force is applied and the object moves in the direction of the force.

6. An object is thrown upwards and reaches a maximum height. Which of the following statements is TRUE about its velocity and acceleration at the peak?

• A. Velocity is zero and acceleration is maximum upwards
• B. Velocity is maximum and acceleration is zero.
• C. Velocity is maximum and acceleration is maximum upwards.
• D. Velocity is zero and acceleration is maximum downwards.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: At the peak, the object momentarily stops moving (zero velocity), but gravity still pulls it upwards, causing a maximum upward acceleration.
