Vector quantities are fully described by which of the following?
a direction only |
|
a direction and a polarity |
|
a magnitude only |
|
a magnitude and a direction |
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: \(\vec{v}\)
In the food chain, omnivores may be which of the following?
secondary consumers or scavengers |
|
secondary or tertiary consumers |
|
primary or secondary consumers |
|
primary or tertiary consumers |
Secondary or tertiary consumers may be omnivores.
Meteoroids, meteors and meteorites are categorized based on which of the following?
their density |
|
their size |
|
their location |
|
their temperature |
Smaller rocks shed by asteroids and comets are called meteoroids. When these rocks reach Earth's atmosphere, they burn up in the mesosphere and become meteors. If a meteor manages to reach the Earth, it is called a meteorite.
Examples of tertiary consumers include:
fish |
|
sharks |
|
chickens |
|
cows |
Tertiary consumers eat primary consumers and secondary consumers and are typically carnivorous predators. Tertiary consumers may also be omnivores. Examples include wolves, sharks, and human beings.
The angle of reflection is equal to which the following?
focal point |
|
refractive index |
|
angle of incidence |
|
90° |
The law of reflection specifies how waves, including light waves, bounce off of surfaces. Specifically, the angle of incidence of the approaching wave is equal to the angle of reflection of the reflected wave as measured from a line perpendicular (90°) to the surface.
