Which of these vitamins doesn't come from food?
C |
|
D |
|
Potassium |
|
A |
Vitamins are necessary for a wide variety of bodily processes. Some vitamins like Vitamins A and C come from diet but others, like Vitamin D, are generated in response to sunlight.
Scalar quantities are fully described by which of the following?
a direction only |
|
a magnitude and a direction |
|
a magnitude and a polarity |
|
a magnitude only |
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: \(\vec{v}\)
An air mass is a large body of air that has which of the following characteristics?
similar temperature |
|
similar density |
|
all of these |
|
similar moisture |
An air mass is a large body of air that has similar moisture (density) and temperature characteristics. A front is a transition zone between two air masses.
A biological community of interacting organisms and their physical environment is known as:
biome |
|
community |
|
ecosystem |
|
population |
An ecosystem is a biological community of interacting organisms and their physical environment. This includes both the biotic (living) and abiotic (non-living).
"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?
fourth |
|
first |
|
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.
