Which of the following is not a vector quantity?
mass |
|
acceleration |
|
momentum |
|
velocity |
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: \(\vec{v}\)
Changes to an object's speed or direction of motion are caused by which of the following?
power |
|
work |
|
a force |
|
kinetic energy |
Force is applied to change an object's speed or direction of motion.
During digestion, where is digested food absorbed into the blood stream?
large intestine |
|
stomach |
|
pancreas |
|
small intestine |
The small intestine is where most digestion takes place. As food travels along the small intestine it gets broken down completely by enzymes secreted from the walls. These enzymes are produced in the small intestine as well as in the pancreas and liver. After the enzymes break down the food, the resulting substances are then absorbed into the blood via capillaries in the small intestine walls.
Which of the following is not a method of heat transfer?
conduction |
|
convection |
|
reflection |
|
radiation |
Heat is always transferred from warmer to cooler environments through conduction, convection, or radiation.
Materials like metals that transfer heat efficiently are called:
insulators |
|
conductors |
|
reflectors |
|
refractors |
Heat is always transferred from warmer to cooler environments and conduction is the simplest way this transfer can occur. It is accomplished through direct contact between materials and materials like metals that transfer heat efficiently are called conductors while those that conduct heat poorly, such as plastic, are called insulators.
