Which of the following is the formula for power?
\(P = {\vec{w} \over t}\) |
|
\(P = w t\) |
|
\(P = \vec{w}t\) |
|
\(P = {w \over t}\) |
Power is the rate at which work is performed or work per unit time: \(P = {w \over t}\) and is measured in watts (W).
In the Periodic Table of the Elements, elements in the same column belong to the same:
atomic number |
|
group |
|
family |
|
period |
The columns of the Periodic Table are called groups and all elements in a group have the same number of electrons in their outer electron shell. The group that an element occupies generally determines its chemical properties as the number of outer shell electrons establishes the way it reacts with other elements to form molecules. So, because each element has the same number of electrons in its outer shell, each has similar reactivity.
In the food chain, omnivores may be which of the following?
primary or tertiary consumers |
|
secondary consumers or scavengers |
|
secondary or tertiary consumers |
|
primary or secondary consumers |
Secondary or tertiary consumers may be omnivores.
Which of the following is not true about mass and weight?
weight depends on the location where it is measured |
|
weight is the force exerted on an object by gravity |
|
mass depends on the location where it is measured |
|
mass is the amount of matter something has |
Mass is the amount of matter something has while weight is the force exerted on an object's mass by gravity. So, although a person's mass doesn't change when going from the Earth to the Moon, their weight will decrease because the force of the Moon's gravity is much less than that of Earth.
Which of the following is not a vector quantity?
acceleration |
|
mass |
|
velocity |
|
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: \(\vec{v}\)
