1. Which of the following is the main function of the small intestine?

• A. To store food and break it down into smaller pieces
• B. To absorb nutrients into the bloodstream
• C. To produce enzymes that help digest food
• D. To eliminate waste products from the body

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Rationale: The small intestine is a crucial part of the digestive system where the majority of nutrient absorption takes place. It is lined with tiny finger-like projections called villi that increase the surface area for absorption. The small intestine absorbs nutrients such as carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, and minerals from the digested food into the bloodstream to be transported to cells throughout the body for energy, growth, and repair. Options A, C, and D do not accurately describe the main function of the small intestine.

2. What does the term "terminal velocity" refer to in physics?

• A. Maximum velocity reached by an object in free fall
• B. Velocity when the object is at rest
• C. nstantaneous velocity of an object
• D. Velocity only reached by heavy objects

Correct answer: a

Rationale: Terminal velocity is the constant velocity achieved by an object falling through the atmosphere when the force of air resistance equals the force of gravity.

3. What type of force allows a car to take a sharp turn while moving in a circular path?

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

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Centripetal force is the force that allows an object to move in a circular path. In the case of a car taking a sharp turn, the centripetal force is directed towards the center of the circle, keeping the car moving in a curved path. Tension force is the force transmitted through a string, rope, cable, or wire when it is pulled tight by forces acting from opposite ends. Frictional force opposes the motion of an object and is not the primary force responsible for allowing a car to take a sharp turn. Gravitational force is the force of attraction between two masses and is not directly related to a car taking a sharp turn.

4. What is the formula to calculate gravitational potential energy near the Earth's surface?

• A. Potential Energy=Mass×Acceleration
• B. Potential Energy=Force×Distance
• C. Potential Energy=Mass×Height×Gravity
• D. Potential Energy=Mass×Acceleration due to gravity×Height

Correct answer: d

Rationale: Gravitational potential energy near the Earth's surface is given by the formula PE = � × � × ℎ PE=m×g×h, where � m is mass, � g is acceleration due to gravity, and ℎ h is heigh

5. Salts are formed by the reaction between:

• A. Two acids
• B. An acid and a base
• C. Two bases
• D. A metal and a nonmetal only

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Salts are ionic compounds formed by the reaction of an acid and a base

6. When choosing a color palette for a presentation, it's best to:

• A. Use as many vibrant colors as possible to grab attention.
• B. Stick to a monochrome palette for a minimalist look
• C. Select complementary colors that create harmony and contrast.
• D. Use the same colors as your company logo for consistency.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: While both branding consistency and minimalism have their place, presentations benefit from utilizing complementary colors for visual interest and clarity.
