2

Vector quantities are fully described by which of the following?

75% Answer Correctly

a direction and a polarity

a magnitude only

a direction only

a magnitude and a direction


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

Which of the following is not a vector quantity?

62% Answer Correctly

velocity

mass

momentum

acceleration


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:  \(\vec{v}\)


4

Which of the following describes how a person's genes express themselves in physical characteristics?

61% Answer Correctly

genotype

chromotype

phenotype

DNA


Solution
