Vector quantities are fully described by which of the following?
a magnitude only |
|
a magnitude and a direction |
|
a direction and a polarity |
|
a direction 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: \(\vec{v}\)
Which of the following is the smallest component of an element that still retains the properties of the element?
neutron |
|
atom |
|
molecule |
|
element |
An atom is the smallest component of an element that still retains the properties of the element.
Which of the following does not filter air as part of the respiratory system?
pharynx |
|
epiglottis |
|
trachea |
|
nasal cavity |
After air enters through the nose, it passes through the nasal cavity which filters, moistens, and warms it. Further filtering takes place in the pharynx, which also helps protect against infection, and then in the trachea which is just past the epiglottis which prevents food from entering the airway.
Which of the following is not true about simple magnets?
opposite poles repel each other |
|
all of these are untrue |
|
same poles repel each other |
|
opposite poles attract each other |
Simple magnets have two poles, north and south, and opposite poles attract each other (N attracts S, S attracts N). Likewise, the same pole of two magnets repel (N repels N, S repels S). The Earth has a magnetic field and North and South Poles which enables the use of a magnetic compass to determine direction.
Molecules and atoms that are outputs from a chemical reaction are known as which of the following?
products |
|
reactants |
|
side effects |
|
results |
During a chemical reaction molecules and atoms (reactants) are rearranged into new combinations that result in new kinds of atoms or molecules (products).
