Let's address each question one by one:

**37. The table shows the times it took different animals to cover various distances.**

To find the speed of each animal, we can use the formula:

\[
\text{Speed} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}}
\]

Now, let's calculate the speed for each animal:

1. Gray fox:
- Distance = 73 km, Time = 1.05 h
- Speed = \( \frac{73}{1.05} \approx 69.52 \) km/h

2. Cheetah:
- Distance = 85 km, Time = 0.75 h
- Speed = \( \frac{85}{0.75} \approx 113.33 \) km/h

3. Gazelle:
- Distance = 68 km, Time = 0.85 h
- Speed = \( \frac{68}{0.85} \approx 80.00 \) km/h

4. Rabbit:
- Distance = 70 km, Time = 1.25 h
- Speed = \( \frac{70}{1.25} \approx 56.00 \) km/h

Now we compare the speeds:
- Gray fox: 69.52 km/h
- Cheetah: 113.33 km/h
- Gazelle: 80.00 km/h
- Rabbit: 56.00 km/h

The greatest speed is that of the **Cheetah** (113.33 km/h).

**Answer: B) cheetah**

**38. Which scenario best demonstrates an example of Newton's first law of motion?**

Newton's first law states that an object at rest stays at rest, and an object in motion stays in motion unless acted upon by a net external force.

The best example is:

**c) A car passenger moves forward when a car suddenly stops.**

This demonstrates Newton's first law because the passenger continues in motion due to inertia until a force (the seatbelt, for example) acts on them.

**Answer: c) A car passenger moves forward when a car suddenly stops.**

**39. A radioisotope has a half-life of 7.5 hours. How many half-lives have occurred after 67.5 hours?**

To find the number of half-lives that have occurred, we divide the total time by the half-life:

\[
\frac{67.5 \text{ hours}}{7.5 \text{ hours/half-life}} = 9 \text{ half-lives}
\]

**Answer: c) 9 half-lives**

**40. Column A (the solubility scenarios) and Column B (solubility conditions):**

To classify the given amounts of solutes with respect to their saturation level:

1. **20g of NaCl at 50°C**
- Generally, NaCl is soluble in water. This amount would likely be unsaturated, as 20g is typically below the saturation point at 50°C.

2. **45g KCl at 60°C**
- KCl’s solubility increases with temperature. 45g may be near or below the saturation limit at 60°C, depending on specific solubility data. Generally considered unsaturated but could be close to saturated.

3. **70g of CaCl2 at 10°C**
- Calcium chloride is very soluble, and at 10°C, 70g would likely saturate or exceed most solubility limits. This is typically considered supersaturated if dissolved.

Based on the data, we classify them:

1 → a. unsaturated
2 → a. unsaturated (or close to saturated, but typically unsaturated)
3 → b. supersaturated

**Answer: 1a, 2a, 3b** (depending on detailed solubility data)
