Velocity and displacement are fully described by both a magnitude and a direction. Velocity and displacement are which of the following?
scalar quantities |
|
combinational quantities |
|
composite quantities |
|
vector 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 pressure is generally highest in which of the following?
arteries |
|
heart |
|
capillaries |
|
veins |
Arteries are thick-walled because they carry oxygenated blood at high pressure, veins are comparatively thin-walled as they carry low-pressure deoxygenated blood.
What kind of weather front is likely to create clouds and storms?
temperate front |
|
stationary front |
|
cold front |
|
warm front |
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.
In the classification of life, which of the following is not a kingdom?
fungi |
|
plants |
|
animals |
|
bacteria |
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.)
Minerals, vitamins, and fiber are:
proteins |
|
macronutrients |
|
carbohydrates |
|
micronutrients |
Minterals, vitamins, and fiber are micronutrients while proteins, carbohydrates, and fats are macronutrients.
