Which of the following is not a vector quantity?
velocity |
|
momentum |
|
acceleration |
|
mass |
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: \(\vec{v}\)
Which of these is a type of Earth's crust?
terrestrial |
|
oceanic |

metamorphic |
The crust is the Earth's outermost layer and is divided into oceanic and continental types. Oceanic crust is 3 miles (5 km) to 6 miles (10 km) thick and is composed primarily of denser rock. Continental crust is 20 to 30 miles (30 to 50 km) thick and composed primarily of less dense rock. The crust makes up approximately one percent of the Earth's total volume.
Which of the following represents the largest value?
1 kL |
|
1 mL |
|
1 cL |
