-40°F is how many °C?
\(-{40 \over 9}\) |
|
\({40 \over 9}\) |
|
-40 |
|
-8 |
The formula to convert from F° to C° is:
\(C° = {5 \over 9} (F° - 32)\)
plugging in our values gives:
\(C° = {5 \over 9} (-40 - 32)\)
\(C° = {5 \over 9} (-72) = {{-72 \times 5} \over 9}\)
\(C° = {-360 \over 9}\)
\(C° = -40\)
Heat is always transferred from __________ to __________ environments.
dense, empty |
|
warmer, cooler |
|
cooler, warmer |
|
empty, dense |
Heat is always transferred from warmer to cooler environments and conduction is the simplest way this transfer can occur. It is accomplished through direct contact between materials and materials like metals that transfer heat efficiently are called conductors while those that conduct heat poorly, such as plastic, are called insulators.
Blood is delivered to bodily tissues through:
veins |
|
arterioles |
|
plasma |
|
capillaries |
The aorta is the body's largest artery and receives blood from the pulmonary vein via the left ventricle. From there, blood is circulated through the rest of the body through smaller arteries called arterioles that branch out from the heart. Finally, blood is delivered to bodily tissues through capillaries.
Which of the following is not a characteristic of the Sun?
is a yellow dwarf star |
|
is composed of hydrogen and helium |
|
formed 2.6 billion years ago |
|
makes up over 99% of the mass of the solar system |
The Sun is a G-type main-sequence star (G2V) but is informally known as a yellow dwarf star. Composed of 73% hydrogen and 25% helium, the hot plasma that makes up the Sun reaches 9,900°F (5,505°C) at the surface. It formed approximately 4.6 billion years ago and makes up 99.86% of the mass in the solar system.
Examples of secondary consumers include:
chickens |
|
plankton |
|
wolves |
|
grasshoppers |
Secondary consumers (carnivores) subsist mainly on primary consumers. Omnivores are secondary consumers that also eat producers. Examples are rats, fish, and chickens.
