1. What happens to the acceleration of an object when the force acting on it is increased, assuming the mass remains constant?

• A. Acceleration increases
• B. Acceleration decreases
• C. Acceleration remains constant
• D. Acceleration becomes zero

Correct answer: a

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

2. Which factor affects the gravitational potential energy of an object the most?

• A. The mass of the object
• B. The distance from the ground
• C. The gravitational force
• D. The shape of the object

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Gravitational potential energy is directly proportional to the height or distance from the ground. As the object is raised higher, its gravitational potential energy increases. The mass of the object affects the gravitational potential energy, but the distance from the ground has a greater impact on it. The gravitational force and the shape of the object do not directly affect the gravitational potential energy.

3. Identify the indirect object in the following sentence: "He gave his mother a bouquet of flowers."

• A. mother
• B. bouquet
• C. flowers
• D. gave

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The indirect object tells who or what benefits from the action of the verb.

4. Which of the following is a balanced chemical equation?

• A. H2 + O2 → H2O
• B. 2H2 + O2 → 2H2O
• C. 3H2O → 2H2 + O2
• D. H2O → H2 + O2

Correct answer: b

Rationale: The equation is balanced, with equal numbers of atoms of each element on both sides.

5. Which of the following is a common property of bases?

• A. Conductivity in aqueous solutions
• B. Sour taste
• C. Reactivity with metals to produce hydrogen gas
• D. Turns red litmus paper blue

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Bases are substances that can accept protons or donate hydroxide ions in a chemical reaction. One common property of bases is that they turn red litmus paper blue. This is a classic test to distinguish between acids (which turn blue litmus paper red) and bases. Conductivity in aqueous solutions (Option A) is a property of both acids and bases, sour taste (Option B) is a property of acids, and reactivity with metals to produce hydrogen gas (Option C) is a property of acids, not bases.

6. Which of the following statements is true regarding a supersaturated solution?

• A. It is unstable and tends to crystallize
• B. It contains less solute than it could dissolve
• C. It has a lower concentration than a saturated solution
• D. It is rarely encountered in everyday solutions

Correct answer: a

Rationale: Supersaturated solutions are unstable and tend to crystallize if disturbed. The other choices do not accurately describe supersaturated solutions.
