In the water cycle, infiltration is most closely related to:
runoff |
|
oceans |
|
water table |
|
rivers |
The water then accumulates as runoff and eventually returns to bodies of water or is absorbed into the Earth (infiltration) and becomes part of the water table, an underground resevoir of fresh water.
Which of the following would you find in the side view mirror of a car?
convex lens |
|
concave mirror |
|
concave lens |
|
convex mirror |
A concave (or converging) mirror bulges inward and focuses reflected light on the mirror's focal point where the mirror's angles of incidence converge. In contrast, a convex (or diverging) mirror bulges outward and diffuses the light waves that strike it. A common use of a concave mirror is in a reflecting telescope, a common use of a convex mirror is in the side view mirror of a car.
Velocity and displacement are fully described by both a magnitude and a direction. Velocity and displacement are which of the following?
scalar quantities |
|
vector quantities |
|
combinational quantities |
|
composite quantities |
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: \(\vec{v}\)
Minerals, vitamins, and fiber are:
proteins |
|
carbohydrates |
|
micronutrients |
|
macronutrients |
Minterals, vitamins, and fiber are micronutrients while proteins, carbohydrates, and fats are macronutrients.

a force |
|
work |
|
kinetic energy |
|
power |
Force is applied to change an object's speed or direction of motion.
