1. What does the term "net force" refer to in physics?

• A. Total force acting on an object
• B. Force due to gravity
• C. Force in motion
• D. Force of friction

Correct answer: a

Rationale: Net force is the vector sum of all forces acting on an object.

2. When making a dilution, you...

• A. Add more solute to a concentrated solution
• B. Change the temperature of the solution
• C. Decrease the concentration of a solution
• D. All of the above

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: 'Decrease the concentration of a solution.' When making a dilution, you decrease the concentration of a solution by adding more solvent, not solute. Adding more solute to a concentrated solution would increase the concentration, not dilute it. Changing the temperature of the solution does not directly relate to dilution. Therefore, the only correct statement related to the process of making a dilution is that you decrease the concentration of the solution by adding more solvent, making option C the correct answer.

3. The artist paints breathtaking landscapes. What is the third-person singular, present tense form of the verb "paint"?

• A. painted
• B. paints
• C. painting
• D. painter

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Verbs change depending on the subject (person) and time (tense).

4. How many amino acids can make up a protein?

• A. 10-20
• B. 50-100
• C. 100-500
• D. 1000+

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Rationale: Proteins are made up of long chains of amino acids. There are 20 standard amino acids that are commonly found in proteins. The sequence and arrangement of these amino acids determine the structure and function of a protein. While proteins can vary in size and complexity, the number of amino acids typically ranges from around 10 to 20 in smaller proteins to hundreds or even thousands in larger proteins. Therefore, the range of 10-20 amino acids is the most accurate representation of the number of amino acids that can make up a protein.

5. How does an increase in mass affect the force required to produce the same acceleration on an object?

• A. Increases force required
• B. Decreases force required
• C. Has no effect on force required
• D. Causes unpredictable changes in force required

Correct answer: a

Rationale: With an increase in mass, more force is needed to produce the same acceleration due to inertia.

6. Functional nursing has some advantages, which one is an EXCEPTION?

• A. Psychological and sociological needs are emphasized.
• B. Great control of work activities.
• C. Most economical way of delivering nursing services.
• D. Workers feel secure in dependent role

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Functional nursing is a task-oriented approach where each nurse is assigned specific duties, leading to efficient task completion but often resulting in a lack of holistic care. While functional nursing may provide great control over work activities and can be cost-effective due to specialization, it does not emphasize psychological and sociological needs, which is a significant disadvantage. Additionally, the dependent role that workers feel in functional nursing can lead to disempowerment and hinder professional growth and autonomy. Therefore, option A, 'Psychological and sociological needs are emphasized,' is the exception among the advantages of functional nursing.
