A subatomic particle found in the nucleus of an atom. It carries a positive electric charge. This desribes which of the following?
proton |
|
atom |
|
neutron |
|
electron |
A proton is a subatomic particle found in the nucleus of an atom. It carries a positive electric charge.
Which of the following is not a vector quantity?
velocity |
|
mass |
|
acceleration |
|
momentum |
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: \(\vec{v}\)

The formula to convert from F° to C° is:
\(C° = {5 \over 9} (F° - 32)\)
plugging in our values gives:
\(C° = {5 \over 9} (50 - 32)\)
\(C° = {5 \over 9} (18)\)
\(C° = {90 \over 9}\)
\(C° = 10\)
Materials like metals that transfer heat efficiently are called:
refractors |
|
insulators |
|
conductors |
|
reflectors |
Heat is always transferred from warmer to cooler environments and conduction is the simplest way this transfer can occur. It is accomplished through direct contact between materials and materials like metals that transfer heat efficiently are called conductors while those that conduct heat poorly, such as plastic, are called insulators.
Which of the following temperatures is least like the others?
32°F |
|
-273°C |
|
absolute zero |
|
0K |
Absolute zero is the coldest possible temperature in the universe. In the Kelvin scale, absolute zero is 0K and in the Celsius scale it is -273°C.
