Scalar quantities are fully described by which of the following?
a direction only |
|
a magnitude and a direction |
|
a magnitude only |
|
a magnitude and a polarity |
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: \(\vec{v}\)
Meteoroids, meteors and meteorites are categorized based on which of the following?
their density |
|
their temperature |
|
their size |
|
their location |
Smaller rocks shed by asteroids and comets are called meteoroids. When these rocks reach Earth's atmosphere, they burn up in the mesosphere and become meteors. If a meteor manages to reach the Earth, it is called a meteorite.
