• A. The length of the incline
• B. The angle of the incline
• C. The mass of the block
• D. All of the above

Correct answer: B

Rationale: In the absence of friction, the final velocity depends only on the gravitational potential energy gained, which is determined by the height difference related to the angle of the incline.

6. Which of the following is the main organ responsible for producing antibodies?

• A. Thymus gland
• B. Spleen
• C. Bone marrow
• D. Lymph nodes

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Rationale: Antibodies are proteins produced by specialized white blood cells called B lymphocytes (B cells). These B cells mature in the bone marrow, where they undergo a process of differentiation and maturation to become plasma cells that secrete antibodies. The bone marrow is the primary site for the production of B cells and antibodies in the immune system. The thymus gland is responsible for the maturation of T lymphocytes (T cells), not antibody production. The spleen and lymph nodes play roles in filtering and trapping pathogens but are not the main organs responsible for producing antibodies.
