1. A honeycomb cell has six equal sides, each measuring 8mm. What is its perimeter?

• A. 32mm
• B. 40mm
• C. 48mm
• D. 56mm

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Multiply the side length by the number of sides: perimeter = number of sides * side length = 6 * 8mm = 48mm.

2. The formula for calculating ideal body weight (IBW) for men is IBW (kg) = 50 + 2.3 * (height in cm - 150). If a man is 180cm tall, what is his ideal body weight?

• A. 68kg
• B. 71kg
• C. 74kg
• D. 77kg

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Substitute the man's height (180cm) into the formula: IBW = 50 + 2.3 * (180 - 150) = 74kg.

3. 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.

4. What is the acceleration of an object moving at a constant speed of 20 m/s if it comes to a complete stop within 5 seconds?

• A. 0 m/s² (no acceleration)
• B. 4 m/s²
• C. -4 m/s²
• D. Information insufficient

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The acceleration can be calculated using the formula: acceleration = (final velocity - initial velocity) / time. In this case, the final velocity is 0 m/s (as the object comes to a complete stop), the initial velocity is 20 m/s, and the time taken is 5 seconds. Plugging these values into the formula, we get acceleration = (0 m/s - 20 m/s) / 5 s = -20 m/s / 5 s = -4 m/s². Therefore, the acceleration is -4 m/s².

5. In the sentence "The house was dilapidated," what effect does the word "dilapidated" have on the reader's understanding?

• A. Creates a sense of mystery.
• B. Emphasizes the large size of the house.
• C. Suggests the house is in poor condition.
• D. Implies the house is haunted.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The word "dilapidated" specifically describes the house's deteriorating state.

6. What is the process of transporting molecules across the cell membrane against a concentration gradient called?

• A. Diffusion
• B. Osmosis
• C. Active transport
• D. Facilitated diffusion

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Rationale: A) Diffusion is the movement of molecules from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration, which does not require energy input. B) Osmosis is the movement of water molecules across a selectively permeable membrane from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration. C) Active transport is the process of transporting molecules across the cell membrane against a concentration gradient, requiring energy in the form of ATP to move substances from an area of lower concentration to an area of higher concentration. D) Facilitated diffusion is a type of passive transport that involves the use of transport proteins to move molecules across the cell membrane from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration, without the need for energy input.
