Which of the following is not a vector quantity?
acceleration |
|
velocity |
|
momentum |
|
mass |
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 the following temperatures is least like the others?
0K |
|
-273°C |
|
absolute zero |
|
32°F |
Absolute zero is the coldest possible temperature in the universe. In the Kelvin scale, absolute zero is 0K and in the Celsius scale it is -273°C.
In cell biology, the primary difference between anaerobic and aerobic respiration is that aerobic respiration requires:
sugar |
|
water |
|
oxygen |
|
mitochondria |
Some plant cells produce their own energy through photosynthesis which is the process by which sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water react to make sugar and oxygen. Animal cells cannot produce their own energy and, instead, generate energy when mitochondria consume outside sugar and oxygen through aerobic respiration.
Which of the following is the smallest component of an element that still retains the properties of the element?
neutron |
|
element |
|
atom |
|
molecule |
An atom is the smallest component of an element that still retains the properties of the element.
The dwarf planet Pluto is located where?
in the Kuiper Belt |
|
in the asteroid belt |
|
between the orbits of Jupiter and Saturn |
|
outside the solar system |
The Kuiper Belt is similar to the asteroid belt but much larger. Extending beyond the orbit of Neptune, it contains objects composed mostly of frozen methane, ammonia, and water. Most notably, the Kuiper Belt is home to Pluto, a dwarf planet that, until a 2006 reclassification, was considered the ninth planet of the solar system.
