1. A ball is thrown horizontally off a cliff with a speed of 10 m/s. What is the horizontal distance the ball travels before hitting the ground?

• A. 10 m
• B. 20m
• C. 30m
• D. Cannot be determined without knowing the height of the cliff

Correct answer: C

Rationale: When a ball is thrown horizontally, its horizontal velocity remains constant throughout its motion. The time taken to hit the ground is determined by the vertical motion, which is independent of the horizontal velocity. Therefore, the horizontal distance traveled by the ball is determined by the horizontal velocity and the time taken to hit the ground. In this case, the horizontal distance is calculated as distance = velocity × time = 10 m/s × time. Since the horizontal velocity is 10 m/s and the time taken to hit the ground is determined by the vertical motion, the horizontal distance traveled by the ball is 10 m/s × time. Without knowing the height of the cliff, we can still determine the horizontal distance traveled by the ball, which is 10 m/s × time.

2. Which word is spelled correctly?

• A. Accomodate
• B. Acquiesce
• C. Percieve
• D. Dilema

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Option B is the correct spelling for "to submit or agree without protest."

3. Colligative properties of solutions depend on the...

• A. Concentration of the solvent
• B. All of the 3 answers given
• C. Chemical identity of the solute
• D. Number of solute particles in solution

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: 'Number of solute particles in solution.' Colligative properties, such as boiling point elevation and freezing point depression, depend on the number of solute particles present in a solution, not on the chemical identity of the solute or the concentration of the solvent. This is because the presence of solute particles disrupts the solvent's normal behavior, affecting these properties. Therefore, the number of solute particles in solution directly influences colligative properties, making it the most accurate choice among the options provided.

4. He wants to influence the customary way of thinking and behaving that is shared by the

• A. Organizational chart
• B. Cultural network
• C. Organizational structure
• D. Organizational culture

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: "Organizational chart." In the context of the question, the individual is aiming to impact the established patterns of thinking and behavior within a group or organization. An organizational chart typically depicts the formal structure of an organization, including roles, relationships, and reporting lines. By influencing the organizational chart, the individual can potentially shape the hierarchical structure and decision-making processes, thereby impacting the customary way of thinking and behaving within the organization. Options B, C, and D do not directly refer to the visual representation of roles and relationships within an organization, making them incorrect choices for this question.

5. What is the Golgi apparatus?

• A. A network of tubules that transport proteins and lipids throughout the cell
• B. A sac-like structure that stores water and nutrients
• C. The site of protein synthesis
• D. The site of protein modification and packaging

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Rationale: The Golgi apparatus is an organelle in the cell responsible for modifying, sorting, and packaging proteins and lipids for transport to their final destinations. It consists of a series of flattened sacs called cisternae and plays a crucial role in processing proteins synthesized in the endoplasmic reticulum. Option A is incorrect because the network of tubules that transport proteins and lipids throughout the cell is typically associated with the endoplasmic reticulum. Option B is incorrect as the structure described is more characteristic of a vacuole, which stores water and nutrients. Option C is incorrect as protein synthesis primarily occurs in the ribosomes, not the Golgi apparatus.

6. Ectopic pregnancy is a serious condition that occurs when a fertilized egg implants outside the uterus. What is the most common location for an ectopic pregnancy?

• A. Ovary
• B. Fallopian tube
• C. Cervix
• D. Vagina

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Fallopian tube. The fallopian tube is the most common location for an ectopic pregnancy to occur. This is because the fertilized egg typically gets stuck or implants in the fallopian tube instead of traveling to the uterus for normal implantation. If left untreated, an ectopic pregnancy in the fallopian tube can lead to serious complications such as tubal rupture and internal bleeding. The other options (ovary, cervix, vagina) are not typical sites for implantation of a fertilized egg and are less likely to result in an ectopic pregnancy.
