Read each of the following statements very carefully. Which one is NOT TRUE?

Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The task asks us to read each statement carefully and identify which one is NOT TRUE. 
Option 1: 'The large brains in primates may be related to life history.' This is a plausible and commonly discussed idea: primates often exhibit brain-body scaling linked to life history traits like longer development, extended juvenile periods, and social complexity. It can be considered true in many comparative discussions. 
Option 2: 'Some other mammals have relative brain sizes that are as large or larger than primates'. This is accurate in some cases—for example, certain large-brained mammals (e.g., dolphins, some whales, and perhaps elephants) have relatively large brains compared to body size, though the exact rankings depend on the metric used. Therefore, this statement can be true depending on the comparison standard. 
Option 3: 'All primates have relatively large brains.' This statement is not true. While many primates do have relatively large brains for their body size compared to most other mammals, there are primate species with more modest brain sizes relative to their body size, and the word 'all' makes this overgeneralization incorrect. 
Option 4: 'Bigger primates have bigger brains.' In general, brain size tends to scale with body size across many taxa, including primates, so this is broadly true though not perfect (there are exceptions where brain size does not increase commensurately with body size). 
Overall, the statement that claims every primate has a relatively large brain (Option 3) is the one that is not true, given the variability among primate species and the common expectation that not all primates possess comparatively large brains relative to their body size.

Both primates and this order of mammals exhibit similar rates of change in brain size over evolutionary time.

A 62.9 kg lady is standing on a weighing scale in an elevator as shown in the diagram below. Assume gravitational acceleration = 15 ms-2 Given that the elevator is accelerating upwards at 3.7 ms-2 , determine the magnitude of the normal force on the lady.

An object is fired from ground level at an angle of 31.9 degrees to the horizontal. Taking acceleration due to gravity = 7.65 ms-2 If the initial speed is 5.6 ms-1, how far from the starting point will it hit the ground? Assume air resistance is negligible.

Which of the following equations of motion would be used to calculate the displacement given the initial and final velocities as well as the acceleration?

A 51.8 kg lady is standing on a weighing scale (calibrated to 9.81 ms-2) in an elevator as shown in the diagram below. The scale is then calibrated to 7.67 ms-2 Given that the elevator is accelerating downwards at 2.2 ms-2 , determine the reading on the scale.

An object is fired from ground level at an angle of 39 degrees to the horizontal. Taking acceleration due to gravity = 7.65 ms-2 If the initial speed is 6.8 ms-1, how far from the starting point will it hit the ground? Assume air resistance is negligible.
