212°F is how many °C?

77% Answer Correctly

100

-100

0

\(135 {5 \over 9}\)


Solution

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

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (F° - 32)\)

plugging in our values gives:

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (212 - 32)\)

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (180) = {{180 \times 5} \over 9}\)

\(C° = {900 \over 9}\)

\(C° = 100\)


2

The formula  \(\vec{F_{g}} = { Gm_{1}m_{2} \over r^2}\) applies to which of Newton's laws?

66% Answer Correctly

third law of motion

universal gravitation

second law of motion

first law of motion


Solution

Newton's law of universal gravitation defines gravity: All objects in the universe attract each other with an equal force that varies directly as a product of their masses, and inversely as a square of their distance from each other. Expressed as a formula:  \(\vec{F_{g}} = { Gm_{1}m_{2} \over r^2}\) where r is the distance between the two objects and G is the gravitational constant with a value of 6.67 x 10-11.


3

An element in the physical state of __________ maintains a constant volume and shape.

86% Answer Correctly

gas

solid

liquid

gel


Solution

An element in a solid state has atoms or molecules that are constricted and do not move freely. Solids maintain a constant volume and shape and exist at a lower temperature than liquids or gases.


4

Small rocks shed by asteroids and comets that reach the earth are called:

60% Answer Correctly

meteoroids

meteorites

shooting stars

meteors


Solution

Smaller rocks shed by asteroids and comets are called meteoroids. When these rocks reach Earth's atmosphere, they burn up in the mesosphere and become meteors. If a meteor manages to reach the Earth, it is called a meteorite.


5

I biome is made up of naturally occurring flora and fauna.  Fauna is which of the following?

61% Answer Correctly

plants

minerals

animals

habitats


Solution

A biome is a large naturally occurring community of flora (plants) and fauna (animals) occupying a major habitat (home or environment).
