70% Answer Correctly

knuckles

cartilage

4

Scalar quantities are fully described by which of the following?

47% Answer Correctly

a magnitude and a direction

a magnitude only

a direction only

a magnitude and a polarity


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:  \(\vec{v}\)

Convert 5C° to F°.

53% Answer Correctly

41

27

-23


Solution

To convert from C° to F° use:

\(F° = {9 \over 5}C° + 32\)

\(F° = {9 \over 5}(5) + 32\)

\(F° = {45 \over 5} + 32\)

\(F° = 9 + 32 = 41\)
