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 functional groups is present in carboxylic acids?

• A. Carbonyl
• B. Hydroxyl
• C. Carboxyl
• D. Aldehyde

3. What is the name of the radioactive isotope commonly used in medical imaging techniques like PET scans?

• A. Uranium-235
• B. Plutonium-239
• C. Potassium-40
• D. Fluorine-18

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Fluorine-18 is the radioactive isotope commonly used in medical imaging techniques like PET scans. It is often used in the form of fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) to detect areas of increased metabolic activity in the body, such as in cancer cells. Uranium-235 and Plutonium-239 are not typically used in medical imaging, and Potassium-40 is a naturally occurring radioactive isotope found in the human body but is not commonly used in medical imaging techniques.

4. What part of speech is the underlined word in the sentence: "He felt a growing sense of unease"?

• A. Verb
• B. Noun

• A. Increases
• B. Decreases
• C. Remains constant
• D. Becomes neutral

Correct answer: B

Rationale: As the pH increases, the concentration of hydrogen ions decreases. The relationship is inversely proportional

6. She knows that there are external forces that influence changes in his unit. Which of the

• A. Memo from the CEO to cut down on electrical consumption
• B. Demands of the labor sector to increase wages
• C. Low morale of staff in her unit
• D. Exacting regulatory and accreditation standards

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is option A: 'Memo from the CEO to cut down on electrical consumption.' This choice represents an external force that can influence changes in the unit by setting a directive from top management to reduce electricity usage, impacting operations and decisions within the unit. While options B, C, and D may also affect the unit to some extent, they are not as directly tied to external influences as the CEO's memo. The demands of the labor sector (option B) and low staff morale (option C) are internal factors, while regulatory and accreditation standards (option D) are more overarching guidelines rather than specific external forces impacting the unit. Therefore, the most direct and relevant external force in this scenario is the directive from the CEO, making option A the correct choice.
