The dwarf planet Pluto is located where?
in the Kuiper Belt |
|
outside the solar system |
|
in the asteroid belt |
|
between the orbits of Jupiter and Saturn |
The Kuiper Belt is similar to the asteroid belt but much larger. Extending beyond the orbit of Neptune, it contains objects composed mostly of frozen methane, ammonia, and water. Most notably, the Kuiper Belt is home to Pluto, a dwarf planet that, until a 2006 reclassification, was considered the ninth planet of the solar system.
212°F is how many °C?
-100 |
|
\(135 {5 \over 9}\) |
|
100 |
|
0 |
The formula to convert from F° to C° is:
\(C° = {5 \over 9} (F° - 32)\)
plugging in our values gives:
\(C° = {5 \over 9} (212 - 32)\)
\(C° = {5 \over 9} (180) = {{180 \times 5} \over 9}\)
\(C° = {900 \over 9}\)
\(C° = 100\)
Water freezing or boiling is an example of which of the following?
heating |
|
sublimation |
|
cooling |
|
phase transition |
A substance undergoes a phase transition when it moves from one state of matter to another, for example, when water freezes or boils.
The process of diffusion allows __________ to exchange oxygen, carbon dioxide, nutrients, and waste between blood and the body's cells.
veins |
|
arteries |
|
red blood cells |
|
capillaries |
Capillaries are small thin-walled vessels that permit the exchange of oxygen, carbon dioxide, nutrients, and waste between blood and the body's cells. This process of exchange is called diffusion.
Which of the following is not one of the outer planets?
Jupiter |
|
Uranus |
|
Venus |
|
Neptune |
In contrast to the solid terrestrial planets, the outer planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune) consist of hydrogen and helium gas and water.
