Velocity is the rate at which an object changes position. What is the formula for velocity?
\(\vec{v} = { \vec{d} \over t } \) |
|
\(\vec{v} = { t \over \vec{d} } \) |
|
\(\vec{v} = \vec{d}t \) |
|
none of these |
Velocity is the rate at which an object changes position. Rate is measured in time and position is measured in displacement so the formula for velocity becomes \(\vec{v} = { \vec{d} \over t } \)
Convert 0C° to F°.

To convert from C° to F° use:
\(F° = {9 \over 5}C° + 32\)
\(F° = {9 \over 5}(0) + 32\)
\(F° = 0 + 32 = 32\)
The most diverse kindgom of life is which of the following?
plants |
|
protists |
|
animals |
|
fungi |
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.)
Small rocks shed by asteroids and comets that reach the earth are called:
meteors |
|
meteorites |
|
meteoroids |
|
shooting stars |
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.
Which of the following is not a vector quantity?
mass |
|
momentum |
|
velocity |
|
acceleration |
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: \(\vec{v}\)
