Which of the following is not a vector quantity?
mass |
|
acceleration |
|
velocity |
|
momentum |
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 Earth's layers has weather?
stratosphere |
|
thermosphere |
|
mesosphere |
|
troposphere |
The Earth's atmosphere has several layers starting with the troposphere which is closest in proximity to the surface. Containing most of the Earth's breathable air (oxygen and nitrogen), it's a region with warmer temperatures closer to the surface and cooler temperatures farther away which results in the rising and falling air that generates weather.
Generally, an atom has __________ negative electrons orbiting the nucleus as it does positive protons inside.
double the number of |

equal numbers of |
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.
Which of the following is the correct order for types of radiation from lowest to highest frequency?
microwaves → radio waves → visible light |
|
infrared waves → microwaves → ultraviolet light |
|
radio waves → visible light → gamma rays |
|
visible light → ultraviolet light → radio waves |
The electromagnetic spectrum covers all possible wavelengths and frequencies of radiation. From lowest frequency (longest wavelength) to highest frequency (shortest wavelength) radiation: radio waves → microwaves → infrared waves → visible light → ultraviolet light → X-rays → gamma rays.
During digestion, after proteins are broken down where does the undigested food go next?
large intestine |
|
small intestine |
|
esophagus |
|
stomach |
Food is mixed with gastric acid and pepsin in the stomach to help break down protein.
