1

Blood pressure is generally highest in which of the following?

60% Answer Correctly

veins

heart

arteries

capillaries


Solution

Arteries are thick-walled because they carry oxygenated blood at high pressure, veins are comparatively thin-walled as they carry low-pressure deoxygenated blood.


2

Velocity and displacement are fully described by both a magnitude and a direction.  Velocity and displacement are which of the following?

70% Answer Correctly

combinational quantities

composite quantities

scalar quantities

vector quantities


Solution

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:  \(\vec{v}\)


3

Which of the following is not a vector quantity?

62% Answer Correctly

acceleration

mass

momentum

velocity


Solution

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 object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force." This describes which of Newton's laws of motion?

73% Answer Correctly

first

fourth

third

second


Solution

Also known as the law of inertia, Newton's first law of motion states that An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.


5

80% Answer Correctly

atom

proton

electron

neutron


Solution

A proton is a subatomic particle found in the nucleus of an atom. It carries a positive electric charge.
