1. What is the process of cells dividing to produce new cells called?

• A. Cell division
• B. Cell differentiation
• C. Cell growth
• D. Cell regeneration

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Rationale: A) Cell division is the process by which a parent cell divides into two or more daughter cells, allowing for growth, repair, and reproduction in living organisms. This process ensures that genetic material is accurately passed on to the new cells. B) Cell differentiation refers to the process by which cells become specialized to perform specific functions in an organism. While cell division is essential for cell differentiation, they are distinct processes. C) Cell growth is the increase in size or mass of a cell, which can occur before or after cell division. While cell growth is a component of the cell division process, it is not the primary process of cells dividing to produce new cells. D) Cell regeneration is the process by which damaged or lost cells are replaced by new cells. While cell division is involved in cell regeneration, it specifically refers to the overall process of cells dividing to produce new cells. Therefore, the most appropriate answer to the ques

2. A ball is thrown horizontally off a cliff. Which of the following forces is responsible for its downward motion?

• A. The force of throwing
• B. Normal force from the air
• C. Tension force from the string (if used)
• D. Gravitational force

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The gravitational force is responsible for the downward motion of the ball. When the ball is thrown horizontally off a cliff, the only force acting on it in the vertical direction is the force of gravity, which pulls the ball downward towards the ground. The other forces mentioned (force of throwing, normal force from the air, tension force from the string) do not contribute to the ball's downward motion in this scenario.

3. How is power related to energy?

• A. Power is the same as energy
• B. Energy is the rate at which work is done
• C. Power is the amount of stored energy
• D. Energy is the rate at which power is transferred

Correct answer: b

Rationale: Energy is related to the amount of work done or the capacity to do work, while power measures the rate at which work is done or energy is transferred.

4. What is the main difference between a nuclear reactor and a nuclear bomb?

• A. Reactors use enriched uranium, while bombs use natural uranium.
• B. Reactors have controlled chain reactions, while bombs have uncontrolled chain reactions.
• C. Reactors generate electricity, while bombs cause explosions.
• D. Reactors use moderators, while bombs don't.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The key difference lies in the control of the fission chain reaction. Reactors have controlled reactions for energy generation, while bombs have rapid, uncontrolled reactions creating explosions.

5. 1. An object is initially at rest. Which of the following will definitely NOT cause it to move?

• A. A constant force acting on it
• B. No force acting on it
• C. A force that increases in magnitude over time
• D. A force that decreases in magnitude over time

Correct answer: B

Rationale: No force acting on it. According to Newton's first law of motion, an object at rest will stay at rest unless acted upon by a net force.

6. Which term describes the resistance of a substance to being hammered into different shapes?

• A. Viscosity
• B. Ductility
• C. Malleability
• D. Conductivity

Correct answer: c

Rationale: Malleability refers to the resistance of a substance to being hammered or pressed into different shapes without breaking.
