Vector quantities are fully described by which of the following?

75% Answer Correctly

a magnitude only

a direction only

a magnitude and a direction

a direction and a polarity


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:  \(\vec{v}\)


3

In the classification of life, which of the following is not a kingdom?

63% Answer Correctly

fungi

bacteria

plants

animals


Solution

Below domain, life is classified into six kingdoms: plants, animals, archaebacteria, eubacteria, and fungi. The last kingdom, protists, include all microscopic organisms that are not bacteria, animals, plants or fungi.  (Archaebacteria and eubacteria are sometimes combined into a single kingdom, monera.)


4

What part of the brain is responsible for for balance, movement, and muscle coordination?

70% Answer Correctly
