2

Convert -20C° to F°.

54% Answer Correctly

78

36

-36

-4


Solution

To convert from C° to F° use:

\(F° = {9 \over 5}C° + 32\)

\(F° = {9 \over 5}(-20) + 32\)

\(F° = {-180 \over 5} + 32\)

\(F° = -36 + 32 = -4\)


3

The large intestine does which of the following?

82% Answer Correctly

breaks down proteins

breaks down fats

breaks down starches

processes the physical waste produced by digestion


Solution

The large intestine (colon) follows the small intestine and processes the physical waste produced by digestion, absorbing water and minerials that remain back into the body. Solid waste is then stored in the rectum while liquid waste is stored in the bladder.

5

Velocity is the rate at which an object changes position. What is the formula for velocity? 

68% Answer Correctly

\(\vec{v} = { \vec{d} \over t } \)

\(\vec{v} = \vec{d}t \)

\(\vec{v} = { t \over \vec{d} } \)

none of these


Solution

Velocity is the rate at which an object changes position. Rate is measured in time and position is measured in displacement so the formula for velocity becomes  \(\vec{v} = { \vec{d} \over t } \)
