1. If the mass of an object remains constant and its velocity doubles, how does its momentum change?

• A. Momentum doubles
• B. Momentum halves
• C. Momentum quadruples
• D. Momentum remains the same

Correct answer: a

Rationale: Momentum is directly proportional to velocity when mass is constant.

2. Define "acceleration" in terms of motion.

• A. Change in velocity over time
• B. Speed in a straight line
• C. Distance covered in a given time
• D. Force applied to an object

Correct answer: a

Rationale: Acceleration measures the rate of change of velocity with respect to time.

3. The axial skeleton consists of bones in the:

• A. Head, neck, and trunk
• B. Arms and legs
• C. Hands and feet
• D. All of the above

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'Head, neck, and trunk.' The axial skeleton includes the bones along the body's central axis, comprising the skull, vertebral column, rib cage, and sternum. These bones provide structural support and protect vital organs. Choices B and C are incorrect as the arms, legs, hands, and feet are part of the appendicular skeleton. Therefore, the axial skeleton primarily encompasses the head, neck, and trunk, making option A the correct choice.

4. What is the least common multiple (LCM) of 4 and 6?

• A. 24
• B. 12
• C. 6
• D. 3

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The LCM is the smallest number that is a multiple of both 4 and 6. We can find this by listing out the multiples of each number until we find a common value. In this case, 12 is the first number divisible by both 4 (4 x 3) and 6 (6 x 2).

5. Which property of a wave determines its loudness in sound waves?

• A. Amplitude
• B. Wavelength
• C. Frequency
• D. Speed

Correct answer: a

Rationale: Amplitude in sound waves relates to the loudness or intensity of the sound.

6. When ice melts, it undergoes a…

• A. Chemical change
• B. Physical change
• C. Nuclear change
• D. Radioactive decay

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Melting is a change in physical state, not a change in the chemical composition of the ice.
