Velocity and displacement are fully described by both a magnitude and a direction. Velocity and displacement are which of the following?
scalar quantities |
|
combinational quantities |
|
composite quantities |
|
vector 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: \(\vec{v}\)
The coldest point in the Earth's atmosphere is reached in which atmospheric layer?
troposphere |
|
mesosphere |
|
thermosphere |
|
stratosphere |
In the mesosphere, temperature again drops as altitude increases until the coldest point in the Earth's atmosphere, the mesopause, is reached where temperatures fall to −225 °F (−143 °C).
In cell biology, where does DNA replication take place?
Golgi apparatus |
|
nucleus |
|
cytoplasm |
|
mitochondria |
The cell nucleus contains the genetic material of the cell and is where DNA replication takes place.
Generally, an atom has __________ negative electrons orbiting the nucleus as it does positive protons inside.
double the number of |
|
equal numbers of |
|

|
fewer |
An electron is a subatomic particle that orbits the nucleus of an atom. It carries a negative electric charge. Generally, an atom has the same number of negative electrons orbiting the nucleus as it does positive protons inside.

|
producers |
|
all of these |
|
primary and secondary consumers |
Tertiary consumers eat primary consumers and secondary consumers and are typically carnivorous predators. Tertiary consumers may also be omnivores. Examples include wolves, sharks, and human beings.
