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: \(\vec{v}\)
The fossil record is a product of which period of Earth's history?
Cenozoic |
|
Cambrian |
|
Cretaceous |
|
Jurassic |
The Cambrian period is one of the most significant geological time periods. Lasting about 53 million years, it marked a dramatic burst of changes in life on Earth known as the Cambrian Explosion. It is from this period that the majority of the history of life on Earth, as documented by fossils, is found. Called the fossil record, the layering of these mineralized imprints of organisms preserved in sedementary rock have allowed geologists to build a historical record of plant and animal life on Earth.
In cell biology, cytokinesis results in two separate:
nuclei |
|
cells |
|
chromosomes |
|
chromatids |
During cell division, the cytokinesis phase occurs when cytoplasm and cell membranes complete their separation resulting in two separate cells.
In the water cycle, infiltration is most closely related to:
water table |
|
oceans |
|
rivers |
|
runoff |
The water then accumulates as runoff and eventually returns to bodies of water or is absorbed into the Earth (infiltration) and becomes part of the water table, an underground resevoir of fresh water.
Water coming to a boil on a stove, ice melting, and steam from a cup of coffee are all examples of which of the following?
convection |
|
radiation |
|
reflection |
|
conduction |
Convection is the transfer of heat by the circulation or movement of the heated parts of a liquid or gas.
