Which of the following is not a vector quantity?
momentum |
|
acceleration |
|
mass |
|
velocity |
Velocity and displacement are vector quantities which means each is fully described by both a magnitude and a direction. In contrast, scalar quantities are quantities that are fully described by a magnitude only. A variable indicating a vector quantity will often be shown with an arrow symbol: \(\vec{v}\)
Stratus clouds are __________clouds characterized by horizontal layering with a broad flat base.
all-altitude |
|
low-altitude |
|
mid-altitude |
|
high-altitude |
Clouds are categorized based on their shape, size, and altitude. Stratus clouds are low-altitude clouds characterized by horizontal layering with a broad flat base. When stratus clouds occur on the ground the result is fog.
Which of the following is not a base unit in the metric system?
meter |
|
liter |
|
gram |
|
degree Fahrenheit |
The Fahrenheit scale is used for measuring temperature in the British system. The metric system uses the Celsius scale.
"The acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object." This describes which of Newton's laws of motion?
first |
|
fourth |
|
third |
|
second |
Newton's second law of motion states that The acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object. This law basically means that the greater the mass of an object, the more force is needed to overcome its inertia.
