1. What is stated about Benjamin Franklin's role in Daylight Savings Time?

• A. Benjamin Franklin invented Daylight Savings Time.
• B. Benjamin Franklin proposed the concept of Daylight Savings Time.
• C. Benjamin Franklin opposed Daylight Savings Time.
• D. Benjamin Franklin had no connection to Daylight Savings Time.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Benjamin Franklin is credited with proposing the idea of Daylight Savings Time, as stated in the extract. However, it was not implemented during his lifetime. Choice A is incorrect because he proposed, not invented, Daylight Savings Time. Choice C is incorrect as there is no mention of Franklin opposing it. Choice D is incorrect as the extract clearly states his connection to the proposal of Daylight Savings Time.

2. What does the mass of one mole of a substance represent?

• A. Atomic mass
• B. Mass number
• C. Molecular weight
• D. Molar mass

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The mass of one mole of a substance is represented by its molar mass. Molar mass is the mass of one mole of a substance and is expressed in grams per mole. It is calculated by summing the atomic masses of all atoms in a molecule. Therefore, the correct answer is D - 'Molar mass'. Choice A, 'Atomic mass', refers to the average mass of an atom of an element. Choice B, 'Mass number', is the total number of protons and neutrons in an atom's nucleus. Choice C, 'Molecular weight', is the average mass of a molecule relative to 1/12 of the mass of an atom of carbon-12.

3. In a phospholipid molecule, the head:

• A. Is hydrophilic
• B. Is hydrophobic
• C. Is on the inner side of the layer
• D. Both A and C

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The head of a phospholipid is hydrophilic (water-loving) and is located on the outer side of the lipid bilayer, interacting with water molecules. This arrangement positions the hydrophobic tails inward, away from water. Therefore, the correct answer is D. Choice A is incorrect because the head is hydrophilic, not hydrophobic. Choice B is incorrect as the head is on the outer side, not the inner side of the layer.

4. Which vitamin is essential for calcium absorption?

• A. Vitamin A
• B. Vitamin D
• C. Vitamin K
• D. Vitamin C

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Vitamin D is crucial for the absorption of calcium in the intestines. It aids in maintaining optimal calcium levels in the body, promoting strong bones and teeth. Without sufficient Vitamin D, the absorption of calcium can be compromised, leading to potential issues with bone health. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect. Vitamin A is essential for vision, skin health, and immune function. Vitamin K is necessary for blood clotting and bone metabolism. Vitamin C is important for collagen synthesis, wound healing, and immune function, but it is not directly involved in calcium absorption.

5. An electromagnet is holding a 1,500-kg car at a height of 25 m above the ground. The magnet then experiences a power outage, and the car falls to the ground. Which of the following is false?

• A. The car had a potential energy of 367.5 kJ.
• B. 367.5 kJ of potential energy is converted to kinetic energy.
• C. The car retains potential energy of 367.5 kJ when it hits the ground.
• D. The car’s potential energy converts to kinetic energy and then to sound energy.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: When the car falls to the ground, its potential energy is converted to kinetic energy as it accelerates downwards. Upon impact with the ground, the car's kinetic energy is dissipated in various forms, such as sound energy, heat, and deformation energy. Therefore, the car does not retain its initial potential energy of 367.5 kJ when it hits the ground. Choice A is true because the potential energy of the car can be calculated as mgh = 1500 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 * 25 m = 367,500 J = 367.5 kJ. Choice B is true because as the car falls, its potential energy is converted to kinetic energy. Choice D is true as the kinetic energy is eventually dissipated into other forms upon impact.
