1. What effect does doubling the net force applied to an object have on its acceleration, assuming mass remains constant?

• A. Acceleration doubles
• B. Acceleration is halved
• C. Acceleration remains the same
• D. Acceleration quadruples

Correct answer: a

Rationale: According to Newton's second law (F = ma), if mass remains constant and force doubles, acceleration also doubles.

2. Which of the following numbers is NOT divisible by 3?

• A. 105
• B. 141
• C. 273
• D. 810

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Rationale: To determine if a number is divisible by 3, we can check if the sum of its digits is divisible by 3. If the sum of the digits is divisible by 3, then the original number is also divisible by 3. A) 105: 1 + 0 + 5 = 6, which is divisible by 3. Therefore, 105 is divisible by 3. B) 141: 1 + 4 + 1 = 6, which is divisible by 3. Therefore, 141 is divisible by 3. C) 273: 2 + 7 + 3 = 12, which is divisible by 3. Therefore, 273 is divisible by 3. D) 810: 8 + 1 + 0 = 9, which is divisible by 3. Therefore, 810 is divisible by 3. Since all the

3. Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) plays a crucial role in regulating water balance. When ADH levels are high, what happens to urine production?

• A. Urine production increases significantly
• B. Urine production decreases to conserve water
• C. There is no change in urine production
• D. The kidneys stop producing urine altogether

Correct answer: B

Rationale: When antidiuretic hormone (ADH) levels are high, it indicates that the body needs to conserve water. ADH works by increasing the permeability of the collecting ducts in the kidneys, allowing more water to be reabsorbed back into the bloodstream. This action leads to a decrease in urine production, as the body retains more water to maintain proper fluid balance. Therefore, the correct answer is B: 'Urine production decreases to conserve water.' High levels of ADH help the body prevent dehydration by reducing the amount of water lost in urine.

4. How is work defined in terms of force and displacement?

• A. Work is the product of force and displacement in any direction
• B. Work is done only when the displacement is vertical
• C. Work is done only when the force and displacement are perpendicular
• D. Work is the product of force and displacement in the direction of the force

Correct answer: d

Rationale: Work is calculated as the force applied to an object multiplied by the displacement of the object in the direction of the force.

5. Which of the following is NOT a route of transmission for a sexually transmitted infection (STI)?

• A. Unprotected sexual contact
• B. Sharing contaminated needles
• C. Deep kissing
• D. Mother to child during childbirth

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Rationale: A) Unprotected sexual contact is a common route of transmission for sexually transmitted infections (STIs) as many STIs are spread through genital, anal, or oral sex without the use of barrier protection such as condoms. B) Sharing contaminated needles can also transmit STIs such as HIV and hepatitis B and C, especially among individuals who inject drugs. C) Deep kissing, while it can transmit certain infections like herpes simplex virus (HSV-1) or cytomegalovirus (CMV), is not a common route of transmission for most STIs. D) Mother to child transmission during childbirth can occur with certain STIs such as HIV, syphilis, and herpes, where the infection can be passed from the mother to the baby during delivery. Therefore, deep kissing (option C) is the correct answer as it is not a typical route of transmission for most STIs.

6. The human body's command center, integrating sensory information and coordinating movement and vital functions, is the:

• A. Lungs
• B. Brain
• C. Kidneys
• D. Stomach

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Brain. The brain serves as the command center of the human body, receiving sensory information from various parts of the body and coordinating responses. It is responsible for controlling movement, regulating vital functions such as breathing and heart rate, and processing thoughts and emotions. The lungs (A), kidneys (C), and stomach (D) each have specific functions within the body, but they do not serve as the central command center like the brain does. Therefore, the brain is the correct answer to this question.
