Velocity and displacement are fully described by both a magnitude and a direction. Velocity and displacement are which of the following?
combinational quantities |
|
vector quantities |
|
scalar 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: \(\vec{v}\)
In the heart, the __________ artery and vein manage blood flow to the lungs.
pulmonary |
|
capillary |
|
atrial |
|
aorta |
The two largest veins in the body, the venae cavae, pass blood to the right ventricle which pumps the blood to the lungs through the pulmonary artery. Blood picks up oxygen in the lungs and returns it to the left atrium via the pulmonary vein.
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 |

Saturated fats can __________ LDL ("bad") cholesterol while unsaturated fats can __________ it.
stabilize, raise |
|
raise, decrease |
|
decrease, stabilize |
|
decrease, raise |
Saturated fats can raise LDL ("bad") cholesterol while unsaturated fats can decrease it.
All surface water is part of the:
geosphere |
|
lithosphere |
|
hydrosphere |
|
atmosphere |
The biosphere is the global ecological system integrating all living beings and their relationships. This includes their interactions with the lithosphere (the rigid outer part of the earth, consisting of the crust and upper mantle), hydrosphere (all surface water), and atmosphere (the envelope of gases surrounding the planet).
