Q: What do vectors possess that scalars do not? Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers: In physics, a quantity, such as mass, length, or speed that is completely specified by its magnitude and has no direction is called a scalar . A vector , on the other hand, is a quantity possessing both magnitude and direction. A vector quantity is typically represented by an arrow-tipped line segment. The length of the line, drawn to scale, represents the magnitude of the quantity. The direction of the arrow indicates the direction of the vector. Not only can vectors be represented graphically, but they can also be added graphically. Choices: - height and polarity - direction and texture - magnitude and weight - magnitude and direction A:
**Answer**
magnitude and direction

Q: When you heat a pot of water on a stove top, energy moves from the pot to its metal handle by what process? Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers: Sunlight is turned into electricity at a solar power plant. These power plants use a large group of mirrors to focus sunlight on one place. This place is called a receiver ( Figure below ). At the receiver, a liquid such as oil or water is heated to a high temperature. The liquid transfers its heat by conduction . In conduction, energy moves between two objects that are in contact. The higher temperature object transfers heat to the lower temperature object. For example, when you heat a pot of water on a stove top, energy moves from the pot to its metal handle by conduction. At a solar power plant, the energy conducted by the heated liquid is used to make electricity. Choices: - induction - convection - thermal radiation - conduction A:
**Answer**
conduction

Q: Why do birds need a light-weight body? Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers: Birds need a light-weight body in order to stay aloft. Even so, flying is hard work, and flight muscles need a constant supply of oxygen- and nutrient-rich blood. The organ systems of birds are adapted to meet these needs. Choices: - for cooling - water flotation - food shortages - to stay aloft A:
**Answer**
to stay aloft
