1

Velocity and displacement are fully described by both a magnitude and a direction.  Velocity and displacement are which of the following?

70% Answer Correctly

scalar quantities

combinational quantities

composite quantities

vector quantities


Solution

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:  \(\vec{v}\)


2

Blood pressure is generally highest in which of the following?

61% Answer Correctly

arteries

heart

capillaries

veins


Solution

Arteries are thick-walled because they carry oxygenated blood at high pressure, veins are comparatively thin-walled as they carry low-pressure deoxygenated blood.


3

What kind of weather front is likely to create clouds and storms?

59% Answer Correctly

temperate front

stationary front

cold front 

warm front


Solution

A warm front is the boundary between warm and cool (or cold) air when the warm air is replacing the cold air. Warm air at the surface pushes above the cool air mass creating clouds and storms.


4

Solution

Below domain, life is classified into six kingdoms: plants, animals, archaebacteria, eubacteria, and fungi. The last kingdom, protists, include all microscopic organisms that are not bacteria, animals, plants or fungi.  (Archaebacteria and eubacteria are sometimes combined into a single kingdom, monera.)
