Scalar quantities are fully described by which of the following?
a direction only |
|
a magnitude and a direction |
|
a magnitude only |
|
a magnitude and a polarity |
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: \(\vec{v}\)
A subatomic particle found in the nucleus of an atom. It carries no electric charge. This desribes which of the following?
atom |
|
electron |
|
proton |
|
neutron |
A neutron is a subatomic particle found in the nucleus of an atom. It is neutral as it carries no electric charge.
Most digestion takes place where?
mouth |
|
large intestine |
|
stomach |
|
small intestine |
The small intestine is where most digestion takes place. As food travels along the small intestine it gets broken down completely by enzymes secreted from the walls. These enzymes are produced in the small intestine as well as in the pancreas and liver. After the enzymes break down the food, the resulting substances are then absorbed into the blood via capillaries in the small intestine walls.
-40°F is how many °C?
\(-{40 \over 9}\) |
|
-40 |
|
-8 |
|
\({40 \over 9}\) |
The formula to convert from F° to C° is:
\(C° = {5 \over 9} (F° - 32)\)
plugging in our values gives:
\(C° = {5 \over 9} (-40 - 32)\)
\(C° = {5 \over 9} (-72) = {{-72 \times 5} \over 9}\)
\(C° = {-360 \over 9}\)
\(C° = -40\)
The energy posessed by a thrown baseball is an example of what kind of energy?
potential |
|
transitional |
|
gravitational |
|
kinetic |
Kinetic energy is the energy posessed by a moving object. Potential energy is stored energy in a stationary object based on its location, position, shape, or state.
