1. A car accelerates from rest. What happens to its kinetic energy and work done on it?

• A. Both kinetic energy and work done increase
• B. Kinetic energy increases, but work done remains constant.
• C. Work done increases, but kinetic energy remains constant.
• D. Both kinetic energy and work done remain constant.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: During acceleration, the car's speed increases, leading to rising kinetic energy. Simultaneously, the force applied to accelerate the car does work on it, increasing the work done.

2. Which division of the autonomic nervous system is responsible for the "rest and digest" response, promoting relaxation and conservation of energy?

• A. Sympathetic nervous system
• B. Parasympathetic nervous system
• C. Somatic nervous system
• D. Central nervous system

Correct answer: b

Rationale: The correct answer is B, the parasympathetic nervous system. This division of the autonomic nervous system is responsible for the "rest and digest" response, promoting relaxation and conservation of energy. When activated, it slows the heart rate, increases digestion, and helps the body rest and recover. The sympathetic nervous system, on the other hand, is responsible for the "fight or flight" response, preparing the body for action. The somatic nervous system controls voluntary movements, and the central nervous system consists of the brain and spinal cord, coordinating all nervous system functions.

3. 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.

4. The student studies diligently for her upcoming exam. Which word is the plural form of "study"?

• A. studies
• B. studying
• C. studied
• D. studier

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The plural form of a noun refers to more than one of that thing.

5. Identify the subject in the following sentence: "The red car parked in the driveway."

• A. driveway
• B. red
• C. car
• D. the

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The subject is the noun or pronoun performing the action or being described in the sentence.

6. What property of a wave remains unchanged when it passes from one medium to another with the same speed?

• A. Frequency
• B. Wavelength
• C. Amplitude
• D. Speed

Correct answer: d

Rationale: The speed of a wave remains constant when passing from one medium to another with the same speed.
