Momentum is a measure of how difficult it is for a moving object to stop. Which of the following is the formula for momentum?
none of these |
|
\(\vec{p} = {m \over \vec{v}}\) |
|
\(\vec{p} = { \vec{v} \over m}\) |
|
\(\vec{p} = m\vec{v}\) |
Momentum is a measure of how difficult it is for a moving object to stop and is calculated by multiplying the object's mass by its velocity: \(\vec{p} = m\vec{v}\). Like velocity, momentum is a vector quantity as it expresses force applied in a specific direction.
Vector quantities are fully described by which of the following?
a direction only |
|
a magnitude only |
|
a magnitude and a direction |
|
a direction and a polarity |
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°.

To convert from C° to F° use:
\(F° = {9 \over 5}C° + 32\)
\(F° = {9 \over 5}(5) + 32\)
\(F° = {45 \over 5} + 32\)
\(F° = 9 + 32 = 41\)
The pitch of the siren of an approaching ambulance changes as it approaches you. This is an example of which of the following?
refraction |
|
reflection |
|
Doppler effect |
|
sound radiation |
The Doppler effect occurs when the source or listener (or both) of sound waves is moving. If they're moving closer together, the listener perceives the sound with a higher pitch and, when they're moving apart, the listener perceives the sound with a lower pitch.
What part of the food chain serves only as food for other organisms?
producers |
|
secondary consumers |
|
decomposers |
|
primary consumers |
Producers (autotrophs) serve as a food source for other organisms. Typical producers are plants that can make their own food through photosynthesis and certain bacteria that are capable of converting inorganic substances into food through chemosynthesis
