Velocity and displacement are fully described by both a magnitude and a direction. Velocity and displacement are which of the following?
composite quantities |
|
vector quantities |
|
scalar quantities |
|
combinational quantities |
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: \(\vec{v}\)
A subatomic particle found in the nucleus of an atom. It carries a positive electric charge. This desribes which of the following?
neutron |
|
proton |
|
atom |
|
electron |
A proton is a subatomic particle found in the nucleus of an atom. It carries a positive electric charge.
Which of the following would be found on a reflecting telescope?
convex lens |
|
concave lens |
|
convex mirror |
|
concave mirror |
A concave (or converging) mirror bulges inward and focuses reflected light on the mirror's focal point where the mirror's angles of incidence converge. In contrast, a convex (or diverging) mirror bulges outward and diffuses the light waves that strike it. A common use of a concave mirror is in a reflecting telescope, a common use of a convex mirror is in the side view mirror of a car.
In cell biology, cytokinesis results in two separate:
nuclei |
|
chromatids |
|
cells |
|
chromosomes |
During cell division, the cytokinesis phase occurs when cytoplasm and cell membranes complete their separation resulting in two separate cells.
Which is the proper order of Earth's atmospheric layers from the surface up to space?
stratosphere, troposphere, mesosphere, thermosphere |
|
troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere |
|
mesosphere, thermosphere, stratosphere, troposphere |
|
thermosphere, mesosphere, stratosphere, troposphere |
The troposphere is the closest layer to Earth, followed by the stratosphere, mesosphere, and finally the thermosphere which borders space.
