1. What happens to the force of gravity between two objects when the distance between them is doubled?

• A. ) The force increases by a factor of 2
• B. The force increases by a factor of 4
• C. The force decreases by a factor of 2
• D. The force decreases by a factor of 4

Correct answer: d

Rationale: According to the inverse square law of gravity, the force of gravity decreases by a factor of 4 when the distance between two objects is doubled.

2. What is the name for the balanced equation that represents a chemical reaction?

• A. Hypothesis
• B. Chemical formula
• C. Balanced equation
• D. Reaction mechanism

Correct answer: C

Rationale: A balanced equation shows the reactants, products, and their stoichiometric coefficients, ensuring equal numbers of atoms of each element on both sides.

3. Which of the following is NOT a typical component of healthy semen?

• A. Sperm
• B. Fructose (sugar)
• C. Prostaglandins
• D. Urine

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Urine. Semen is a mixture of fluids from various glands in the male reproductive system. It typically contains sperm, fructose (sugar) to provide energy for the sperm, and prostaglandins to aid in sperm motility. Urine is not a normal component of healthy semen. It is important to note that urine and semen travel through different pathways in the male body, and they should not mix. Therefore, the presence of urine in semen would indicate a potential issue or infection in the urinary system. Understanding the components of healthy semen is crucial for assessing male reproductive health and fertility.

4. What is the relationship between force and acceleration according to Newton's second law?

• A. Force is directly proportional to acceleration
• B. orce is inversely proportional to acceleration
• C. Force has no relation to acceleration
• D. Force causes deceleration, not acceleration

Correct answer: A

Rationale: According to Newton's second law of motion, the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass. This relationship is mathematically expressed as F = ma, where F represents force, m represents mass, and a represents acceleration. Therefore, an increase in force will result in a proportional increase in acceleration, supporting the statement that force is directly proportional to acceleration.

5. Percent Increase/Decrease: A medication dosage is increased by 20%. If the original dosage was 100mg, what is the new dosage?

• A. 80mg
• B. 100mg
• C. 120mg
• D. 140mg

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Multiply the original dosage (100mg) by 1 + the percentage increase (20% = 0.2) to get 120mg.

6. Which element is found in water and is crucial for biological functions like nerve impulses and muscle contraction?

• A. Sodium
• B. Potassium
• C. Calcium
• D. Magnesium

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Sodium plays a key role in maintaining electrolyte balance and transmitting nerve impulses, affecting both muscles and nerves
