The energy posessed by a thrown baseball is an example of what kind of energy?

79% Answer Correctly

gravitational

kinetic

transitional

potential


Solution

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.


2

Leafy vegetables, beans, potatoes, fruits, and whole grains are good sources of:

83% Answer Correctly

fiber

unsaturated fat

saturated fat

87% Answer Correctly

similar temperature

similar moisture

similar density

all of these

4

The ovum and oviduct are part of which bodily system?

87% Answer Correctly

circulatory

reproductive

digestive

nervous

Approximately every 28 days during female ovulation an egg (ovum) is released from one of the ovaries and travels through the oviduct (fallopian tube) and into the uterus. At the same time, the endometrial lining of the uterus becomes prepared for implantation.


5

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

70% Answer Correctly

scalar quantities

combinational quantities

vector quantities

composite 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:  \(\vec{v}\)
