1

Velocity and displacement are fully described by both a magnitude and a direction.  Velocity and displacement are which of the following?

69% Answer Correctly

composite quantities

vector quantities

combinational quantities

scalar quantities


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:  \(\vec{v}\)


2

Force is measured in newtons (N) with 1 N being the force required to impart an acceleration of:

57% Answer Correctly

1 m/s2 to a mass of 1 kg/s2

1 m/s to a mass of 1 kg

1 mph to a mass of 1 kg

1 m/s2 to a mass of 1 kg


Solution

Weight is a force that describes the attraction of gravity on an object. Force is measured in newtons (N) with 1 N being the force required to impart an acceleration of 1 m/s2 to a mass of 1 kg.


3

Convert 5C° to F°.

53% Answer Correctly

37

27

41

-23


Solution

To convert from C° to F° use:

\(F° = {9 \over 5}C° + 32\)

\(F° = {9 \over 5}(5) + 32\)

\(F° = {45 \over 5} + 32\)

\(F° = 9 + 32 = 41\)


4

DNA is encoded through a combination of which of the following?

47% Answer Correctly

helix

nucleotides

genes

gametes


Solution

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is the molecule that contains genetic information. DNA is encoded through a combination of nucleotides that bind together in a specific double helix pattern.


5

Examples of secondary consumers include:

52% Answer Correctly

chickens

plankton

grasshoppers

wolves


Solution

Secondary consumers (carnivores) subsist mainly on primary consumers. Omnivores are secondary consumers that also eat producers. Examples are rats, fish, and chickens.
