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. A rectangular bandage measures 5cm by 8cm. What is the area covered by the bandage?

• A. 10cm
• B. 13cm
• C. 40cm^2
• D. 64cm^2

Correct answer: C

Rationale: 40cm^2: Multiply the length (5cm) by the width (8cm).

3. Which of the following is a common characteristic of alkynes?

• A. They have a triple bond between carbon atoms.
• B. They are saturated hydrocarbons.
• C. They contain only single bonds.
• D. They are aromatic compounds.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Alkynes are hydrocarbons that contain at least one triple bond between carbon atoms. This triple bond is a distinctive feature of alkynes, distinguishing them from alkanes (which contain only single bonds) and alkenes (which contain at least one double bond). Alkynes are unsaturated hydrocarbons due to the presence of the triple bond. Aromatic compounds, on the other hand, have a specific cyclic structure with resonance stabilization, which is not a characteristic of alkynes.

4. The muscular sac that stores urine until it is released from the body is called the:

• A. Urethra
• B. Bladder
• C. Ureter
• D. Nephron

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Bladder. The bladder is a muscular sac that stores urine until it is ready to be released from the body through the urethra. The urethra is the tube that carries urine from the bladder out of the body. Ureters are tubes that carry urine from the kidneys to the bladder. Nephrons are the functional units of the kidneys responsible for filtering the blood and producing urine. Therefore, the bladder is the specific organ responsible for storing urine until it is expelled from the body, making it the correct answer.

5. Which of the following is NOT a symptom of asthma, a chronic respiratory condition?

• A. Wheezing
• B. Difficulty breathing
• C. Chest tightness
• D. Fever

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: "Fever." Fever is not a symptom commonly associated with asthma. Asthma symptoms typically include wheezing (A), difficulty breathing (B), and chest tightness (C). Wheezing is a high-pitched whistling sound that occurs during breathing, while difficulty breathing refers to the feeling of not getting enough air. Chest tightness is a common sensation of pressure or constriction in the chest. Fever is not a typical symptom of asthma but may occur in other respiratory conditions or infections. Therefore, fever is the correct answer as it does not align with the typical symptom profile of asthma.

6. How is power related to energy?

• A. Power is the same as energy
• B. Energy is the rate at which work is done
• C. Power is the amount of stored energy
• D. Energy is the rate at which power is transferred

Correct answer: b

Rationale: Energy is related to the amount of work done or the capacity to do work, while power measures the rate at which work is done or energy is transferred.
