Section III – Science
1. Electricity is a general term encompassing a variety of phenomena resulting from the
presence and flow of electric charge. Which of the following statements about electricity
is/are true?
a. Electrically charged matter is influenced by, and produces, electromagnetic fields.
b. Electric current is a movement or flow of electrically charged particles.
c. Electric potential is a fundamental interaction between the magnetic field and the presence
and motion of an electric charge.
d. An influence produced by an electric charge on other charges in its vicinity is an electric field.
2. Which of the following is/are not included in Ohm’s Law?
a. Ohm’s Law defines the relationships between (P) power, (E) voltage, (I) current, and (R)
resistance.
b. One ohm is the resistance value through which one volt will maintain a current of one
ampere.
c. Using Ohm’s Law, voltage is determined using V = IR, with I equaling current and R equaling
resistance.

d. An ohm (Ω) is a unit of electrical voltage.
3. The property of a conductor that restricts its internal flow of electrons is:
a. Friction
b. Power
c. Current
d. Resistance
4. In physics, ____________ is the force that opposes the relative motion of two bodies
in contact.
a. Resistance
b. Abrasiveness
c. Friction
d. Antagonism
5. What is the difference, of any, between kinetic energy and potential energy?
a. Kinetic energy is the energy of a body that results from heat while potential energy is the
energy possessed by an object that is chilled
b. Kinetic energy is the energy of a body that results from motion while potential energy is the
energy possessed by an object by virtue of its position or state, e.g., as in a compressed
spring.
c. There is no difference between kinetic and potential energy; all energy is the same.
d. Potential energy is the energy of a body that results from motion while kinetic energy is the
energy possessed by an object by virtue of its position or state, e.g., as in a compressed
spring.
6. What are considered the four fundamental forces of nature?
a. Gravity, electromagnetic force, weak nuclear force, and strong nuclear force
b. Gravity, electromagnetic force, negative nuclear force, and positive nuclear force
c. Polarity, electromagnetic force, weak nuclear force, and strong nuclear force
d. Gravity, chemical magnetic force, weak nuclear force, and strong nuclear force
7. Starting with the weakest, arrange the fundamental forces of nature in order of
strength.
a. Gravity, Weak Nuclear Force, Electromagnetic Force, Strong Nuclear Force
b. Weak Nuclear Force, Gravity, Electromagnetic Force, Strong Nuclear Force
c. Strong Nuclear Force, Weak Nuclear Force, Electromagnetic Force, Gravity
d. Gravity, Strong Nuclear Force, Weak Nuclear Force, Electromagnetic Force
8. What is the difference between Strong Nuclear Force and Weak Nuclear Force?
a. The Strong Nuclear Force is an attractive force that binds protons and neutrons and
maintains the structure of the nucleus, and the Weak Nuclear Force is responsible for the

radioactive beta decay and other subatomic reactions.
b. The Strong Nuclear Force is responsible for the radioactive beta decay and other subatomic
reactions, and the Weak Nuclear Force is an attractive force that binds protons and neutrons
and maintains the structure of the nucleus.
c. The Weak Nuclear Force is feeble and the Strong Nuclear Force is robust.
d. The Strong Nuclear Force is a negative force that releases protons and neutrons and
threatens the structure of the nucleus, and the Weak Nuclear Force is an attractive force that
binds protons and neutrons and maintains the structure of the nucleus.
9. The Law of Conservation of Mass states that:
a. No detectable gain but, depending on the substances used, some loss can occur in chemical
reactions.
b. No detectable gain or loss occurs in chemical reactions.
c. No detectable loss but some gain occurs in chemical reactions.
d. Depending on the substances used, substantial gain or loss can occur in chemical reactions.
10. What is the difference, if any, between convection and heat radiation?
a. Thermal radiation is the transfer of heat from one place to another by the movement of
fluids; convection is electromagnetic radiation emitted from all matter due to its possessing
thermal energy.
b. Convection is the transfer of heat from one place to another by the movement of fluids;
thermal radiation is nuclear energy emitted from all matter due to its possessing thermal
energy.
c. Convection is the transfer of heat from one place to another by the movement of fluids;
thermal radiation is electromagnetic radiation emitted from all matter due to its possessing
thermal energy.
d. Convection is the transfer of heat from one place to another by the movement of fluids;
thermal radiation is the barely detectable light emitted from all matter due to its possessing
thermal energy.
11. In ________ cells, the cell cycle is the cycle of events involving cell division,
including ______, ________, and _________.
a. Prokaryotic, meiosis, cytokinesis, and interphase
b. Eukaryotic, meiosis, cytokinesis, and interphase
