Question 1 of 5

What is the SI unit of measurement for momentum?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct SI unit of measurement for momentum is kilogram-meter per second (kg·m/s). Momentum is a vector quantity that is calculated by multiplying an object's mass (in kilograms) by its velocity (in meters per second), resulting in the unit kg·m/s. This unit represents the quantity of motion an object possesses, taking into account both the mass and velocity of the object. Choice A, Newton (N), is the unit of force, not momentum. Choice C, Joule (J), is the unit of energy, not momentum. Choice D, Newton-second (N·s), is the unit of impulse, not momentum.

Question 2 of 5

What is a lysosome?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: A lysosome is a membrane-bound organelle found in animal cells that contains digestive enzymes. These enzymes are responsible for breaking down various cellular components, such as proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, and even foreign particles like bacteria. This breakdown process is crucial for maintaining cell health and function by recycling and disposing of cellular waste. Options B, C, and D are incorrect because lysosomes are not involved in transporting proteins and lipids throughout the cell (option B), protein synthesis (option C), or cellular respiration (option D). Lysosomes primarily function as the cell's 'recycling center' by breaking down and processing cellular materials.

Question 3 of 5

What is the definition of work in physics?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: In physics, work is defined as the transfer of energy through motion along a direction. When a force is applied to an object, and the object moves in the direction of the force, work is done on the object. The work done is calculated as the force applied multiplied by the distance the object moves in the direction of the force. Choices A and B do not fully capture the essence of work, as work is about energy transfer through motion, not merely applying force to objects at rest or in motion. Choice D is incorrect as work is not a measure of an object's potential energy; rather, it is the transfer of energy through motion.

Question 4 of 5

When is work done on an object?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Work is done on an object whenever a force causes displacement in the object's position. According to the work-energy principle, work is calculated as the force applied multiplied by the distance the object moves in the direction of the force. Therefore, work can occur whenever there is a force exerted on the object resulting in displacement, regardless of whether the object's velocity changes or it is lifted vertically. Choice A is incorrect because work can be done even without a change in velocity. Choice B is incorrect as work requires both force and displacement, not just the application of force. Choice D is incorrect because work is not limited to vertical lifting; it can happen in any direction as long as there is a force causing displacement.

Question 5 of 5

What is the term for a hydrocarbon chain with no double or triple bonds between carbon atoms?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: A saturated hydrocarbon chain contains only single bonds between carbon atoms, making it 'saturated' with hydrogen atoms. Therefore, the correct answer is choice A, 'Saturated.' Choice B, 'Unsaturated,' is incorrect because it refers to hydrocarbon chains with double or triple bonds. Choice C, 'Aromatic,' is not the correct term for a hydrocarbon chain without double or triple bonds; it describes a specific type of cyclic and conjugated hydrocarbon structure. Choice D, 'Alkene,' is also incorrect as it specifically indicates a hydrocarbon chain with at least one double bond between carbon atoms.
