1. What is the meaning of Gender?

• A. A medical condition
• B. Sex of an individual
• C. Emotional state
• D. A psychological term

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Gender refers to the biological and social characteristics that define male and female identities. It is not a medical condition, emotional state, or psychological term. The term 'gender' specifically relates to the sex of an individual, distinguishing between traits associated with being male or female. Therefore, the correct answer is B.

2. Why does potential energy increase as particles approach each other?

• A. Attractive forces increase.
• B. Attractive forces decrease.
• C. Repulsive forces increase.
• D. Repulsive forces decrease.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Repulsive forces increase. As particles approach each other, the distance between them decreases, causing the repulsive forces between the particles to increase. This increase in repulsive forces leads to an increase in potential energy as the particles resist being pushed closer together. Choices A and B are incorrect because attractive forces do not increase or decrease in this scenario. Choice D is incorrect because repulsive forces actually increase as particles get closer, leading to a rise in potential energy.

3. According to Bernoulli's principle, when the flow velocity (v) of an incompressible fluid increases in a constricted pipe, the pressure (P) will:

• A. Depend on the specific fluid type
• B. Decrease
• C. Remain constant
• D. Increase

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Bernoulli's principle states that in a constricted pipe with increasing flow velocity of an incompressible fluid, the pressure decreases. This is due to the conservation of energy, where the total energy of the fluid (sum of kinetic energy, potential energy, and pressure energy) remains constant along the flow path. As the fluid velocity increases, its kinetic energy increases at the expense of pressure energy, causing a decrease in pressure. Therefore, the correct answer is B. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect. The pressure changes in the system are primarily driven by the fluid velocity and the conservation of energy principle, not by the specific fluid type, which is a constant. The pressure is not constant but decreases with increasing flow velocity due to the energy transformation occurring in the system. Lastly, the pressure does not increase; it decreases as the fluid velocity rises.

4. Olivia’s Bakery gives out one extra cupcake for each dozen sold, to make a “baker’s dozen” of 13 in all. How many extra cupcakes does the bakery add to a special order of 180 cupcakes?

• A. 12
• B. 13
• C. 14
• D. 15

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Olivia’s Bakery gives out one extra cupcake for each dozen sold. For a special order of 180 cupcakes, there would be 180 cupcakes ÷ 12 cupcakes per dozen = 15 dozens. Therefore, the bakery adds 15 extra cupcakes to make a 'baker's dozen' of 13 in all for each dozen, resulting in a total of 15 extra cupcakes added to the special order. The correct answer is 13 (choice B) because the bakery adds one extra cupcake to each dozen, making a 'baker's dozen' of 13.

5. Which is not listed as an example of a low-impact sport?

• A. Martial arts
• B. Basketball
• C. Yoga
• D. Weight lifting

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Basketball is not listed as a low-impact sport in the extract provided; the others (martial arts, yoga, and weight lifting) are considered low-impact activities. The extract mentions that students can participate in low-impact sports like yoga, martial arts, and weight lifting in modern PE classes, emphasizing their benefits and the focus on general skills. Basketball, on the other hand, is not included in the list of low-impact sports mentioned in the extract, making it the correct answer. This demonstrates the importance of understanding the difference between high-impact and low-impact sports for maintaining fitness and health.
