Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Centripetal force is the force that allows an object to move in a circular path. When a car takes a sharp turn, centripetal force acts towards the center of the circle, enabling the car to stay in the curved path. Tension force is transmitted through a string, rope, cable, or wire when pulled tight, and it is not directly related to a car's turning motion. Frictional force opposes motion and is not the primary force responsible for a car's ability to take a sharp turn. Gravitational force is the attraction between masses and does not directly influence a car's ability to maneuver in a curved path.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Terminal velocity in physics refers to the maximum velocity achieved by an object in free fall when the force of gravity equals the force of air resistance. At terminal velocity, the object stops accelerating and maintains a constant speed. This occurs when the opposing forces are balanced, leading to no further increase in speed. Choice B is incorrect as velocity when the object is at rest is zero, not at terminal velocity. Choice C is incorrect as instantaneous velocity refers to the velocity at a specific moment in time, not the maximum speed reached in free fall. Choice D is incorrect because terminal velocity is not exclusive to heavy objects; all objects in free fall can reach terminal velocity under the right conditions.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Eczema is a skin condition characterized by red, itchy, and inflamed patches. It is a common condition that can vary in severity and often presents with symptoms such as dry, scaly skin, and sometimes oozing or crusting. Psoriasis, on the other hand, presents with red, scaly patches but is not typically described as itchy. Melanoma is a type of skin cancer characterized by the development of abnormal moles, while keloid is a type of raised scar that can occur after an injury to the skin. Therefore, the correct answer is eczema due to its specific symptom presentation of red, itchy, and inflamed patches.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Activation energy is the energy required to break a chemical bond and initiate a chemical reaction. It is the minimum amount of energy needed to start a chemical reaction by breaking bonds in the reactant molecules. Kinetic energy (option A) is the energy of motion and is not directly related to breaking chemical bonds. Potential energy (option B) is stored energy that can be converted into other forms of energy but is not specifically about breaking chemical bonds. Bond energy (option D) refers to the energy required to break a particular chemical bond in a molecule and is not the general term for the energy needed to break any chemical bond. Activation energy is crucial in determining the rate of a chemical reaction as it affects the probability of reactant molecules colliding with sufficient energy to surpass the energy barrier and form products.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Phenolphthalein is commonly used to differentiate between acidic and basic solutions. It changes color, turning pink in basic solutions and remaining colorless in acidic solutions due to a specific pH range. While methyl orange and universal indicator are also indicators used for pH testing, phenolphthalein is especially known for its distinctive color change in response to acidic and basic solutions, making it the correct choice. Methyl orange is typically used in titrations for a sharp color change at a specific pH, and the universal indicator is a mixture of indicators displaying a range of colors depending on the pH value, not specifically tailored to acidic and basic distinctions.
