1. How does an unbalanced force affect an object at rest?

• A. It maintains the object's state of rest
• B. It does not affect the object's rest
• C. It moves the object into motion
• D. It decreases the object's mass

Correct answer: c

Rationale: An unbalanced force acting on an object at rest causes it to start moving.

2. What property of a substance refers to its ability to be drawn into thin wires without breaking?

• A. Malleability
• B. Viscosity
• C. Ductility
• D. Conductivity

Correct answer: c

Rationale: Ductility is the property that describes a substance's ability to be drawn into thin wires without breaking.

3. What principle explains the relationship between pressure, volume, and temperature for ideal gases?

• A. Law of conservation of energy
• B. Newton's laws of motion
• C. Ideal gas law
• D. Archimedes' principle

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The ideal gas law (PV = nRT) relates pressure, volume, and temperature for ideal gases at constant number of moles and temperature.

4. Which type of waves do not require a medium for propagation?

• A. Transverse waves
• B. Longitudinal waves
• C. Electromagnetic waves
• D. Surface waves

Correct answer: c

Rationale: Electromagnetic waves (such as light or radio waves) can travel through a vacuum as they do not require a medium.

5. What is the periodic law?

• A. The statement that the properties of the elements are a periodic function of their atomic numbers.
• B. The statement that the elements can be arranged in a table in which elements with similar properties are grouped together
• C. The statement that the elements can be arranged in a table in which the atomic number of an element is equal to the number of protons in its nucleus
• D. The statement that the elements can be arranged in a table in which the atomic mass of an element is equal to the number of neutrons in its nucleus.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The periodic law states that the properties of elements are a periodic function of their atomic numbers. This means that when elements are arranged in order of increasing atomic number, there is a periodic repetition of their properties. This forms the basis for the modern periodic table. Option B describes the periodic table itself, while options C and D do not accurately describe the periodic law.

6. There are times when Katherine evaluates her staff as she makes her daily rounds. Which of

• A. The staff member is observed in natural setting.
• B. Incidental confrontation and collaboration is allowed.
• C. The evaluation is focused on objective data systematically.
• D. The evaluation may provide valid information for compilation of a formal report.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'The staff member is observed in a natural setting.' This option is the most appropriate because it aligns with the concept of naturalistic observation, where behavior is observed in its natural environment without interference or manipulation. In this scenario, Katherine is observing her staff during her daily rounds without any alterations to their behavior or environment. This allows for a more authentic and unbiased assessment of their performance. Options B, C, and D are not as relevant to the concept of naturalistic observation and do not accurately describe the situation presented in the question.
