Absolute zero is which of the following?
the freezing point of hydrogen |
|
the coldest temperature possible in the universe |
|
0°C |
|
the freezing point of oxygen |
In contrast to the Celsius scale (measured in degrees centigrade) that fixes 0° at the freezing point of water and the Fahrenheit scale that uses 32°, the Kelvin scale fixes 0 at absolute zero (-273°C) which is the lowest temperature possible in the universe.
Molecules and atoms that are outputs from a chemical reaction are known as which of the following?
products |
|
reactants |
|
side effects |
|
results |
During a chemical reaction molecules and atoms (reactants) are rearranged into new combinations that result in new kinds of atoms or molecules (products).
Which of the following is metamorphic rock?
granite |
|
marble |
|
obsidian |
|
coal |
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.
Velocity and displacement are fully described by both a magnitude and a direction. Velocity and displacement are which of the following?
composite quantities |
|
combinational quantities |
|
vector quantities |
|
scalar quantities |
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: \(\vec{v}\)
Blood is created in:
bone marrow |
|
the liver |
|
red blood cells |
|
the heart |
Blood is created in bone marrow and is made up of cells suspended in liquid plasma. Red blood cells carry oxygen, white blood cells fight infection, and platelets are cell fragments that allow blood to clot.
