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

scalar quantities

composite quantities

vector quantities

combinational 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:  \(\vec{v}\)

86% Answer Correctly

spiny

arthropod

Solution

An endoskeleton (internal skeleton) is a charateristic of vertebrate animals, including humans.


4

In the Periodic Table of the Elements, atomic number is equal to which of the following?

63% Answer Correctly

number of protons in the nucleus

number of protons + neutrons in the nucleus

number of neutrons in the nucleus

number of electrons orbiting the nucleus


Solution

The Periodic Table of the Elements categorizes elements primarily by the number of protons in their nucleus (atomic number) and secondarily by the characteristics they exhibit.


5

The crust and upper mantle of the earth is called the:

62% Answer Correctly

atmosphere

lithosphere

geosphere

hydrosphere


Solution

The biosphere is the global ecological system integrating all living beings and their relationships. This includes their interactions with the lithosphere (the rigid outer part of the earth, consisting of the crust and upper mantle), hydrosphere (all surface water), and atmosphere (the envelope of gases surrounding the planet).
