2

-40°F is how many °C?

40% Answer Correctly

\(-{40 \over 9}\)

-40

-8

\({40 \over 9}\)


Solution

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

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (F° - 32)\)

plugging in our values gives:

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (-40 - 32)\)

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (-72) = {{-72 \times 5} \over 9}\)

\(C° = {-360 \over 9}\)

\(C° = -40\)


3

Changes to an object's speed or direction of motion are caused by which of the following?

72% Answer Correctly

power

kinetic energy

work

a force


Solution

Force is applied to change an object's speed or direction of motion.


4

Which of these does not contain oxygenated blood?

47% Answer Correctly

right atrium

left ventricle

aorta

pulmonary vein


Solution

To provide oxygen to the body, blood flows through the heart in a path formed by the right atrium → right ventricle → lungs → left atrium → left ventricle → body. When blood enters the right side of the heart it is deoxygenated. It enters the left side of the heart oxygenated after traveling to the lungs.


5

Which of the following is the primary difference between a comet and an asteroid?

46% Answer Correctly

comets orbit the Sun

asteroids contain frozen water

asteroids have a coma

comets have an atmosphere


Solution

A comet is a loose collection of ice, dust, and small rocky particles that, in contrast to an asteroid, has an extended atmosphere surrounding the center. When passing close to the Sun, this atmosphere warms and begins to release gases forming a visible coma or tail.
