Velocity and displacement are fully described by both a magnitude and a direction. Velocity and displacement are which of the following?
scalar quantities |
|
vector quantities |
|
composite quantities |
|
combinational 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: \(\vec{v}\)
Generally, an atom has __________ negative electrons orbiting the nucleus as it does positive protons inside.
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.
When two air masses meet and neither is displaced, what kind of front is present?
stationary |
|
warm |
|
cold |
|
occluded |
When two air masses meet and neither is displaced, a stationary front is created. Stationary fronts often cause persistent cloudy wet weather.
Arteries carry __________ blood at __________ pressure.
deoxygenated, low |
|
oxygenated, low |
|
deoxygenated, high |
|
oxygenated, high |
Veins carry blood back to the heart from the body. While arteries are thick-walled because they carry oxygenated blood at high pressure, veins are comparatively thin-walled as they carry low-pressure deoxygenated blood. Like the heart, veins contain valves to prevent blood backflow.
Molecules and atoms that are outputs from a chemical reaction are known as which of the following?
side effects |
|
products |
|
reactants |
|
results |
During a chemical reaction molecules and atoms (reactants) are rearranged into new combinations that result in new kinds of atoms or molecules (products).
