50°F is how many °C?

72% Answer Correctly

-10

58

10

122


Solution

The formula to convert from F° to C° is:

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (F° - 32)\)

plugging in our values gives:

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (50 - 32)\)

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (18)\)

\(C° = {90 \over 9}\)

\(C° = 10\)

90% Answer Correctly

pine tree

ferret

mosquito

habitats

plants

animals

minerals

4

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

71% Answer Correctly

composite quantities

combinational quantities

scalar 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:  \(\vec{v}\)


5

element

molecule

atom


Solution
