TEAS Test 7 science quizlet

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: When a ball is thrown horizontally, its horizontal velocity remains constant throughout its motion. The horizontal distance traveled by the ball is determined by the horizontal velocity and the time taken to hit the ground. In this case, the horizontal distance is calculated as distance = velocity time. Since the horizontal velocity is 10 m/s, the horizontal distance traveled by the ball is 10 m/s time. The time taken to hit the ground is determined by the vertical motion, which is independent of the horizontal velocity. Therefore, without knowing the height of the cliff, we can still determine the horizontal distance traveled by the ball. The horizontal distance is solely dependent on the horizontal velocity and the time of flight, which are not influenced by the height of the cliff. Hence, the correct answer is 30 m. Choice A, 10 m, is incorrect as it does not consider the time of flight. Choice B, 20 m, is incorrect as it does not account for the constant horizontal velocity. Choice D, 'Cannot be determined without knowing the height of the cliff,' is incorrect because the horizontal distance can be calculated independently of the height of the cliff.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The K-capture process involves the capture of an electron from the innermost electron shell, known as the K-shell. The K-shell comprises s and p orbitals. During the K-capture process, an electron is specifically captured from an inner p-orbital within the K-shell. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because K-capture involves capturing an electron from the innermost shell (K-shell) which consists of s and p orbitals, not the outermost s-orbital, inner d-orbital, or any available electron shell.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Fluorescent microscopy relies on the property of certain molecules to fluoresce when exposed to specific wavelengths of light. When these molecules absorb light energy, they become excited and then emit light at a longer wavelength, producing a visible image. This emitted light is what is used to create the image in fluorescent microscopy, making option C, fluorescence emission, the correct answer. Staining properties (option A) are used to enhance contrast in microscopy but are not the primary mechanism in fluorescent microscopy. Light absorption (option B) is involved in the excitation of fluorescent molecules but is not the property used to create the visible image. Refraction (option D) is the bending of light as it passes through different mediums and is not the property utilized in fluorescent microscopy.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is 'Transmission.' Transmission refers to the phenomenon where light passes through a medium without changing direction, as observed when light passes through a window. Diffraction involves the bending of light waves around obstacles, reflection is the bouncing back of light waves from a surface, and dispersion is the separation of light into its different colors. In this case, the question specifically asks about the situation where light passes through a medium without changing direction, which aligns with the process of transmission.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Energy levels refer to the specific energies that electrons in an atom can have, while orbitals are the regions within an atom where electrons are most likely to be found. Electrons do not travel in fixed paths around the nucleus like planets around the sun, as suggested in option B. Option C is incorrect because energy levels and orbitals are distinct concepts in atomic structure. Option D is incorrect as energy levels and orbitals are fundamental concepts in understanding the behavior of electrons in atoms.
