Velocity and displacement are fully described by both a magnitude and a direction. Velocity and displacement are which of the following?
combinational quantities |
|
composite quantities |
|
scalar 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: \(\vec{v}\)
What part of the brain is responsible for for balance, movement, and muscle coordination?
brainstem |
|
medulla |
|
cerebrum |
|
cerebellum |

In which type of compound are electrons shared between atoms?
molecular |
|
ionic |
|
chemical |
|
covalent |
A compound is a substance containing two or more different chemical elements bound together by a chemical bond. In covalent compounds, electrons are shared between atoms. In ionic compounds, one atom borrows an electron from another atom resulting in two ions (electrically charged atoms) of opposite polarities that then become bonded electrostatically.
Which of blood component carries oxygen?
plasma |
|
red blood cells |
|
white blood cells |
|
platelets |
Blood is created in bone marrow and is made up of cells suspended in liquid plasma. Red blood cells carry oxygen, white blood cells fight infection, and platelets are cell fragments that allow blood to clot.

atom |
|
electron |
|
proton |
|
neutron |
A neutron is a subatomic particle found in the nucleus of an atom. It is neutral as it carries no electric charge.
