Vector quantities are fully described by which of the following?
a direction only |
|
a direction and a polarity |
|
a magnitude and a direction |
|
a magnitude only |
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: \(\vec{v}\)
Most digestion takes place where?
small intestine |
|
large intestine |
|
stomach |
|
mouth |
The small intestine is where most digestion takes place. As food travels along the small intestine it gets broken down completely by enzymes secreted from the walls. These enzymes are produced in the small intestine as well as in the pancreas and liver. After the enzymes break down the food, the resulting substances are then absorbed into the blood via capillaries in the small intestine walls.

The Earth's rocks fall into three categories based on how they're formed. Which of the following is formed from the hardening of molten rock?
marble |
|
igneous |
|
metamorphic |
|
sedimentary |
The Earth's rocks fall into three categories based on how they're formed. Igneous rock (granite, basalt, obsidian) is formed from the hardening of molten rock (lava), sedimentary rock (shale, sandstone, coal) is formed by the gradual despositing and cementing of rock and other debris, and metamorphic rock (marble, slate, quartzite) which is formed when existing rock is altered though pressure, temperature, or chemical processes.
