Which of the following is not a vector quantity?
velocity |
|
mass |
|
acceleration |
|
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: \(\vec{v}\)

population |
|
ecosystem |
|
community |
|
biome |

Which of the following is the correct order for types of radiation from longest to shortest wavelength?
microwaves → radio waves → visible light |
|
infrared waves → microwaves → ultraviolet light |
|
visible light → ultraviolet light → radio waves |
|
radio waves → visible light → gamma rays |
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.
A transition zone between two air masses is called:
fog |
|
boundary |
|
front |
|
thunderstorm |
An air mass is a large body of air that has similar moisture (density) and temperature characteristics. A front is a transition zone between two air masses.
Which of these is not a recognized blood type?
AO |
|
AB |
|
B |
|
O |
Blood is categorized into four different types (A, B, AB, and O) based on the type of antigens found on the outside of the red blood cells. Additionally, each type can be negative or positive based on whether or not the cells have an antigen called the Rh factor.
