1. What is the unit of measurement for momentum?

• A. Newton-second (N·s)
• B. Kilogram-meter (kg·m)
• C. Joule (J)
• D. Meter per second (m/s)

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Momentum is defined as the product of an object's mass and its velocity. The unit of mass is kilograms (kg) and the unit of velocity is meters per second (m/s). Therefore, the unit of momentum is kilogram-meter per second (kg·m/s). By Newton's second law of motion (F = ma), force is measured in Newtons (N), which is equivalent to kg·m/s². Therefore, multiplying the unit of force (N) by the unit of time (s) gives the unit of momentum as Newton-second (N·s).

2. The electrical conductivity of a strong acid solution is higher than that of a weak acid solution because:

• A. Strong acids are more concentrated.
• B. Strong acids release more hydrogen ions
• C. Weak acids are better at dissolving salts.
• D. Strong acids have a lower pH.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Strong acids completely dissociate, leading to a h

3. Which element is found in water and is crucial for biological functions like nerve impulses and muscle contraction?

• A. Sodium
• B. Potassium
• C. Calcium
• D. Magnesium

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Sodium plays a key role in maintaining electrolyte balance and transmitting nerve impulses, affecting both muscles and nerves

4. Which of the following conclusions of Ms. Castro about leadership characteristics is TRUE?

• A. There is a high correlation between the communication skills of a leader and the ability to get
• B. A manager is effective when he has the ability to plan well.
• C. Assessment of personal traits is a reliable tool for predicting a manager’s potential.
• D. There is good evidence that certain personal qualities favor success in managerial role.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A because effective communication skills are essential for a leader to successfully convey ideas, motivate teams, and build relationships. Strong communication skills enable a leader to articulate goals clearly, listen to feedback, and resolve conflicts efficiently. This correlation between communication skills and leadership effectiveness has been well-documented in numerous studies. In contrast, options B, C, and D are not universally true statements about leadership characteristics. While planning skills and personal traits may contribute to effective leadership, they are not as directly linked to leadership success as communication skills. Therefore, option A is the most accurate conclusion about leadership characteristics among the choices provided.

5. An IV drip delivers medication at a rate of 40 drops per minute. Each drop contains 0.05 milliliters of the medication. How many milliliters of medication are delivered in one hour?

• A. 12 milliliters
• B. 24 milliliters
• C. 60 milliliters
• D. 120 milliliters

Correct answer: B

Rationale: First convert minutes to hours (1 hour * 60 minutes). Then, multiply the number of drops per minute (40 drops/minute) by the volume per drop (0.05 ml/drop) and by the conversion factor (60 minutes/hour) to find the total volume delivered: 40 drops/minute * 0.05 ml/drop * 60 minutes/hour = 24 milliliters.

6. When is work done by a force on an object?

• A. Only when the object moves in the direction of the force
• B. Only when the object moves against the force
• C. Only when the object moves vertically
• D. Only when the force is applied for a specific duration

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Work is done by a force on an object when the object moves in the direction of the force. If the object moves perpendicular to the force, no work is done, as the force does not contribute to the displacement of the object. Similarly, if the object moves against the force, work is done because the force is causing the displacement. The vertical movement of the object does not determine whether work is done; it is the direction of the force relative to the object's displacement that matters. The duration of the force application does not affect whether work is done; as long as the force causes the object to move in its direction, work is being done.
