Scalar quantities are fully described by which of the following?

47% Answer Correctly

a direction only

a magnitude only

a magnitude and a direction

a magnitude 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

Leafy vegetables, beans, potatoes, fruits, and whole grains are good sources of:

82% Answer Correctly

protein

unsaturated fat

saturated fat

63% Answer Correctly

fuel

reactants

components

products


Solution

5

What kind of weather front is likely to create clouds and storms?

58% Answer Correctly

stationary front

cold front
