1. Which force opposes the relative motion between surfaces in contact?

• A. Tension force
• B. Frictional force
• C. Gravitational force
• D. Magnetic force

Correct answer: b

Rationale: Friction is the force that opposes motion between surfaces in contact.

2. A solution is 60% alcohol. If 200ml of the solution are used, how much pure alcohol is present?

• A. 100ml
• B. 120ml
• C. 140ml
• D. 160ml

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Multiply the total solution volume (200ml) by the alcohol percentage (60%)

3. What is the Doppler effect, and how does it explain the shift in frequency of sound waves perceived by an observer?

• A. It only affects light waves, not sound waves.
• B. It's the change in wave speed due to medium density.
• C. It's the perceived change in frequency due to relative motion.
• D. It's the bending of waves due to different mediums.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The Doppler effect describes how the perceived frequency of a wave changes depending on the relative motion between the source and observer. For example, an approaching siren sounds higher pitched due to compressed wavefronts, while a receding siren sounds lower due to stretched wavefronts.

4. Which of the following substances is typically a good conductor of electricity when dissolved in water?

• A. Sugar
• B. Sodium chloride
• C. Olive oil
• D. Oxygen gas

Correct answer: b

Rationale: Ionic compounds like sodium chloride dissociate into ions in water, making the solution conductive. The other choices do not typically conduct electricity in water.

5. What is the structure that connects the ovary to the uterus in the female reproductive system?

• A. Urethra
• B. Fallopian tube
• C. Vagina
• D. Cervix

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Fallopian tube. The fallopian tubes are the structures that connect the ovaries to the uterus in the female reproductive system. These tubes play a crucial role in the fertilization process by providing a pathway for the egg to travel from the ovary to the uterus. The urethra (A) is a structure that carries urine from the bladder out of the body and is not directly involved in the reproductive system. The vagina (C) is the canal that connects the external genitals to the cervix and is not the structure that connects the ovary to the uterus. The cervix (D) is the lower part of the uterus that connects to the vagina and does not connect the ovary to the uterus.

6. Which part of the heart generates the QRS complex on an ECG?

• A. Sinoatrial node (SA node)
• B. Atrioventricular node (AV node)
• C. Bundle of His
• D. Ventricular muscle cells

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D, ventricular muscle cells. The QRS complex on an ECG represents the depolarization of the ventricles. This electrical activity is generated by the spread of impulses through the bundle branches and Purkinje fibers to the ventricular muscle cells. The SA node (option A) is responsible for initiating the electrical impulse in the heart, but it does not directly generate the QRS complex. The AV node (option B) delays the impulse to allow for proper coordination of atrial and ventricular contractions. The Bundle of His (option C) and its branches facilitate the conduction of the electrical signal from the AV node to the ventricles but do not generate the QRS complex directly.
