Water freezing or boiling is an example of which of the following?

80% Answer Correctly

cooling

sublimation

phase transition

heating

2

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

vector quantities

composite quantities

combinational 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:  \(\vec{v}\)

3

Scavengers break down the dead bodies of plants and animals into which of the following?

65% Answer Correctly

producers

carrion

simple nutrients

complex carbohydrates
Solution

Like decomposers, scavengers also break down the dead bodies of plants and animals into simple nutrients. The difference is that scavengers operate on much larger refuse and dead animals (carrion). Decomposers then consume the much smaller particles left over by the scavengers.

4
