1

Scalar quantities are fully described by which of the following?

47% Answer Correctly

a magnitude only

a magnitude and a direction

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:  \(\vec{v}\)


2

An element in the physical state of __________ maintains neither a constant volume nor a constant shape.

75% Answer Correctly

liquid

plasma

solid

gas


Solution

The gaseous state occurs at a higher temperature range than the solid and liquid states of the same substance. In this state, molecules flow very freely around each other and will spread out as far as they're able. Gases maintain neither a constant volume nor a constant shape.


3

An endoskeleton (internal skeleton) is a charateristic of __________ animals, including humans.

85% Answer Correctly

sentient

vertebrate

spiny

arthropod


Solution

An endoskeleton (internal skeleton) is a charateristic of vertebrate animals, including humans.


4

Which of the following describes the Earth's outer core?

45% Answer Correctly

primarily solid

liquid

solid

makes up most of the Earth's volume


Solution

The Earth's core is divided into the liquid outer core (1,430 miles or 2,300 km radius) and the solid inner core (745 miles or 1,200 km radius).


5

What is the body's largest artery?

72% Answer Correctly

aorta

capillary

arteriole

vena cava


Solution

The aorta is the body's largest artery and receives blood from the pulmonary vein via the left ventricle. From there, blood is circulated through the rest of the body through smaller arteries called arterioles that branch out from the heart. Finally, blood is delivered to bodily tissues through capillaries.
