1. A rocket blasts off from Earth. What is the main force propelling the rocket upwards?

• A. Gravitational force
• B. Air resistance
• C. Thrust from the rocket engine
• D. Normal force from the launchpad

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Thrust from the rocket engine. This force is produced by the action-reaction principle and pushes the rocket upwards against the exhaust gases.

2. In the reaction 2Na + 2H2O → 2NaOH + H2, what is the limiting reactant when 3 moles of sodium react with 2 moles of water?

• A. Na
• B. H2O
• C. NaOH
• D. H2

Correct answer: a

Rationale: Sodium is the limiting reactant because it runs out first in a 1:1 ratio with water.

3. What happens to the momentum of an object when there is no external force acting upon it?

• A. Momentum increases
• B. Momentum decreases
• C. Momentum remains constant
• D. Momentum becomes zero

Correct answer: c

Rationale: In the absence of external forces, momentum remains constant due to the conservation of momentum.

4. Which of the following is the main function of the lungs?

• A. To transport oxygen and nutrients throughout the body
• B. To coordinate movement and sensory information
• C. To filter waste products from the blood
• D. To exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide between the body and the environment

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Rationale: A) To transport oxygen and nutrients throughout the body - While the lungs do play a role in transporting oxygen, their primary function is to exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide between the body and the environment. The transportation of oxygen and nutrients throughout the body is primarily carried out by the circulatory system, specifically the blood vessels. B) To coordinate movement and sensory information - This function is primarily carried out by the nervous system, specifically the brain and spinal cord. C) To filter waste products from the blood - The kidneys are responsible for filtering waste products from the blood, not the lungs. The lungs primarily function in gas exchange.

5. What happens to the work done on an object when the angle between force and displacement is 90 degrees?

• A. Maximum work is done
• B. No work is done
• C. Minimum work is done
• D. Work is infinite

Correct answer: b

Rationale: When the angle between force and displacement is 90 degrees, the work done on the object is zero.

6. Which element is a good conductor of electricity but is not a metal?

• A. Copper
• B. Silver
• C. Graphite
• D. Gold

Correct answer: C

Rationale: While metals are known for their conductivity, some non-metals like graphite also exhibit this property due to their unique electronic structure
