1. What is the acceleration of an object moving at a constant speed of 20 m/s if it comes to a complete stop within 5 seconds?

• A. 0 m/s² (no acceleration)
• B. 4 m/s²
• C. -4 m/s²
• D. Information insufficient

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The acceleration can be calculated using the formula: acceleration = (final velocity - initial velocity) / time. In this case, the final velocity is 0 m/s (as the object comes to a complete stop), the initial velocity is 20 m/s, and the time taken is 5 seconds. Plugging these values into the formula, we get acceleration = (0 m/s - 20 m/s) / 5 s = -20 m/s / 5 s = -4 m/s². Therefore, the acceleration is -4 m/s².

2. What is the functional group present in amines?

• A. Hydroxyl
• B. Carbonyl
• C. Amine
• D. Nitro

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Amines have the functional group -NHâ‚‚. The other choices are associated with different functional groups.

3. What is the process of breaking down proteins into amino acids called?

• A. Proteolysis
• B. Lipolysis
• C. Carbohydrate catabolism
• D. Nucleic acid catabolism

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Rationale: Proteolysis is the process of breaking down proteins into amino acids. Lipolysis is the breakdown of fats into fatty acids and glycerol, not proteins. Carbohydrate catabolism involves the breakdown of carbohydrates into glucose for energy production. Nucleic acid catabolism is the breakdown of nucleic acids into nucleotides. In this context, the specific process of breaking down proteins into amino acids is best described by proteolysis.

4. A patient weighs 180 pounds. What is their weight in kilograms (1kg = 2.2lbs)?

• A. 68kg
• B. 75kg
• C. 82kg
• D. 90kg

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Divide the weight in pounds (180) by the conversion factor (2.2lbs/kg).

5. What is the term for a solution that contains less solute than the maximum amount it could dissolve at a specific temperature and pressure?

• A. Saturated solution
• B. Unsaturated solution
• C. Supersaturated solution
• D. Concentrated solution

Correct answer: b

Rationale: An unsaturated solution is one in which less solute has dissolved than the maximum amount it could dissolve under specific conditions. The other choices do not accurately describe an unsaturated solution.

6. The final sentence suggests that users should approach social media with a healthy dose of

• A. Enthusiasm and optimism about its potential for connection and engagement.
• B. Skepticism and critical thinking towards the information encountered online.
• C. Acceptance of its flaws and a passive reliance on its features for interaction.
• D. Indifference towards its impacts and an absence of any effort to manage its use.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The emphasis on "critical thinking" and "skepticism" suggests the importance of approaching social media with a cautious and discerning mind, aligning with B
