1. A ball is rolling across the floor and comes to a stop on its own. What force caused the ball to stop?

• A. Gravitational force
• B. Normal force from the floor
• C. Air resistance
• D. None of the above

Correct answer: C

Rationale: In the absence of other forces, air resistance will gradually slow down the ball until it stops.

2. Which of the following describes a vector quantity?

• A. Speed
• B. Distance
• C. Mass
• D. Velocity

Correct answer: d

Rationale: Velocity is a vector quantity as it includes both magnitude (speed) and direction.

3. What is the scientific term for inflammation of the bronchi, often associated with a cough and mucus production?

• A. Pneumonia
• B. Bronchitis
• C. Emphysema
• D. Pleurisy

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Bronchitis. Bronchitis is the scientific term for inflammation of the bronchi, which are the air passages in the lungs. This condition is often characterized by a cough, mucus production, and difficulty breathing. Pneumonia (A) is an infection that causes inflammation in the air sacs in the lungs, not the bronchi. Emphysema (C) is a chronic lung condition that results in the damage of the air sacs in the lungs, leading to difficulty breathing. Pleurisy (D) is inflammation of the pleura, the lining around the lungs, and is not directly related to inflammation of the bronchi. Therefore, option B is the correct answer in this case.

4. Identify the comprehensive protection for the brain.

• A. Skull
• B. Meninges (Membranes)
• C. Cerebrospinal fluid
• D. All of the above

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Rationale: A) The skull provides a hard, protective covering for the brain, shielding it from external trauma and injury. B) The meninges are three layers of membranes (dura mater, arachnoid mater, and pia mater) that surround the brain and spinal cord, providing additional protection and cushioning. C) Cerebrospinal fluid is a clear, colorless fluid that surrounds the brain and spinal cord, acting as a shock absorber and providing nutrients to the central nervous system. Together, the skull, meninges, and cerebrospinal fluid work in conjunction to provide comprehensive protection for the brain, making option D the correct answer.

5. Which element is a critical component of DNA and RNA, essential for storing and transmitting genetic information?

• A. Oxygen
• B. Carbon
• C. Nitrogen
• D. Hydrogen

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Carbon's ability to form diverse bonds makes it the backbone of genetic molecules, enabling efficient information storage and transmission

6. What type of energy does a stretched rubber band possess?

• A. Kinetic energy
• B. Potential energy
• C. Thermal energy
• D. Mechanical energy

Correct answer:

Rationale: When a rubber band is stretched, it stores potential energy due to its position or state.
