Question 1
What is the significance of ethics in scientific research? (3 pt.)
Correct Answer: Ethics in scientific research are significant as they ensure
that scientific experiments are conducted in a responsible and ethical
manner that prioritizes the well-being of human subjects and protects against
the misuse or abuse of scientific knowledge.
Question 2
What is the impact of technology on human communication? (9 pt.)
Correct Answer: The impact of technology on human communication can
lead to both positive and negative effects, such as increased access to
information as well as decreased face-to-face interaction.
Question 3
What is the role of nationalism in contemporary politics? (4 pt.)
Correct Answer: The role of nationalism in contemporary politics is to
provide a sense of identity and belonging for a particular group of people,
often at the expense of others.
Question 4
Describe the main features and functions of the human brain's neural
network, and how do they contribute to our cognitive abilities? (5 pt.)
Correct Answer: The neural network of the brain is a complex system of
interconnected cells called neurons, which communicate with each other
using electrical and chemical signals. Different regions of the brain have
different functions, such as visual processing, language comprehension, and
memory. The overall structure of the network is highly adaptable, with

neurons forming and breaking connections in response to changes in the
environment or experience.
Question 5
How can we use mathematical models to predict and analyze the spread of
infectious diseases in a population? (2 pt.)
Correct Answer: Mathematical models are a powerful tool for predicting and
analyzing the spread of infectious diseases. One common model is the SEIR
model, which divides the population into susceptible, exposed, infectious,
and recovered groups. By tracking changes in these groups over time,
researchers can gain insight into factors such as the rate of transmission, the
effectiveness of interventions like vaccinations, and the potential impact of
different public health policies.
Question 6
How can we use mathematical models to predict and analyze the spread of
infectious diseases in a population? (8 pt.)
Correct Answer: Mathematical models are a powerful tool for predicting and
analyzing the spread of infectious diseases. One common model is the SEIR
model, which divides the population into susceptible, exposed, infectious,
and recovered groups. By tracking changes in these groups over time,
researchers can gain insight into factors such as the rate of transmission, the
effectiveness of interventions like vaccinations, and the potential impact of
different public health policies.
Question 7
How do geologists use the principles of plate tectonics to understand the
earth's geological processes? (10 pt.)
Correct Answer: Geologists use the principles of plate tectonics to
understand the earth's geological processes by studying the movement and
interactions of large tectonic plates that cover the earth's surface. These
interactions can cause earthquakes, volcanic activity, and the formation of
mountains and other landforms.
Question 8
How do mathematicians use geometry to understand and model the

behavior of physical systems? (8 pt.)
Correct Answer: Mathematicians use geometry to understand and model
the behavior of physical systems by providing a visual representation of the
relationships between objects or quantities. This helps to analyze and predict
the behavior of complex systems, such as those found in physics,
engineering, and architecture.
Question 9
What is the impact of technology on the job market? (7 pt.)
Correct Answer: Technology has led to significant changes in the job
market, such as increased automation of jobs and the emergence of digital
platforms that allow for remote work.
Question 10
What is the significance of the golden ratio in art, nature, and architecture?
(9 pt.)
Correct Answer: The golden ratio is a mathematical concept that describes
the relationship between two quantities, such as length or proportion. This
ratio has been observed in nature, art, and architecture throughout history,
and is thought to have aesthetic qualities that make it pleasing to the eye. It
has also been used in design to create a sense of balance, harmony, and
symmetry.
Question 11
What are the fundamental principles of quantum mechanics, and how do
they differ from classical mechanics? (10 pt.)
Correct Answer: Quantum mechanics is the branch of physics that studies
the behavior of subatomic particles, and it differs from classical mechanics in
several key ways. One of the most important differences is that quantum
mechanics allows for the existence of superposition, where particles can
exist in multiple states simultaneously. Another key concept is entanglement,
where two particles can become linked in such a way that the state of one
particle can affect the state of the other, regardless of the distance between
them.
