Convert -20C° to F°.
-36 |
|
-4 |
|
36 |
|
78 |
To convert from C° to F° use:
\(F° = {9 \over 5}C° + 32\)
\(F° = {9 \over 5}(-20) + 32\)
\(F° = {-180 \over 5} + 32\)
\(F° = -36 + 32 = -4\)
The formula for acceleration is which of the following?
\(\vec{a} = { \vec{F} \over m }\) |
|
\(\vec{a} = \vec{F} m\) |
|
\(\vec{a} = { m \over \vec{F} }\) |
|
\(\vec{a} = { m \over F }\) |
Newton's second law of motion leads to the formula for acceleration which is a measure of the rate of change of velocity per unit time and, if you solve for positive acceleration, reveals how much net force is needed to overcome an object's mass. The formula for acceleration is \(\vec{a} = { \vec{F} \over m }\) or, solving for force, \(\vec{F} = m\vec{a}\).
As a cold front moves into an area, the heavier cool air __________ the lighter warm air that it is replacing.

pushes under |
A cold front is a warm-cold air boundary with the colder air replacing the warmer. As a cold front moves into an area, the heavier cool air pushes under the lighter warm air that it is replacing. The warm air becomes cooler as it rises and, if the rising air is humid enough, the water vapor it contains will condense into clouds and precipitation may fall.
Which of the following describes the Earth's mantle?
dense |
|
hot |
|
all of these |
|
makes up most of Earth's volume |
Mantle makes up 84% of the Earth's volume and has an average thickness of approximately 1,800 miles (2,900 km). It is dense, hot, and primarily solid although in places it behaves more like a viscous fluid as the plates of the upper mantle and crust gradually "float" along its circumference.
In cell biology, what part of the cell contains organelles?
nucleus |
|
cytoplasm |
|
cell wall |
|
cell membrane |
The nucleus of a eukaryotic cell contains the genetic material of the cell and is surrounded by cytoplasm which contains many organelles.
