Sound travels fastest through which of the following media?
vacuum |
|
air |
|
water |
|
metal |
The speed of a sound wave will vary with the medium. Sound travels fastest through media that has particles that are very close together, like metal. Thus, it travels faster through water than through air and doesn't travel at all through a vacuum (there are no particles in empty space to vibrate).

When compared to eukaryotic cells, prokaryotic cells are:
more complex |
|
similarly complex |
|
less complex |
|
none of these |
Cells are classified into one of two groups based on whether or not they have a nucleus. Eukaryotic cells have a nucleus, prokaryotic cells do not have a nucleus and therefore have a less complex structure than eukaryotic cells.
Which of the following is not a vector quantity?
momentum |
|
velocity |
|
mass |
|
acceleration |
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: \(\vec{v}\)
