Cirrus clouds are thin, wispy clouds composed of ice crystals. At what elevation to cirrus clouds form?
ground level |
|
mid-altitude |
|
low-altitude |
|
high-altitude |
Cirrus clouds are thin, wispy high-altitude clouds composed of ice crystals that originate from the freezing of supercooled water droplets. Cirrus clouds generally occur in fair weather and point in the direction of air movement at their elevation.
In which type of compound does one atom borrow an electron from another atom?
acidic |
|
covalent |
|
ionic |
|
chemical |
A compound is a substance containing two or more different chemical elements bound together by a chemical bond. In covalent compounds, electrons are shared between atoms. In ionic compounds, one atom borrows an electron from another atom resulting in two ions (electrically charged atoms) of opposite polarities that then become bonded electrostatically.
Velocity and displacement are fully described by both a magnitude and a direction. Velocity and displacement are which of the following?
scalar quantities |
|
composite quantities |
|
combinational quantities |
|
vector quantities |
Velocity and displacement are vector quantities which means each is fully described by both a magnitude and a direction. In contrast, scalar quantities are quantities that are fully described by a magnitude only. A variable indicating a vector quantity will often be shown with an arrow symbol: \(\vec{v}\)
__________ is caused by a lack of Vitamin C.
diabetes |
|
anemia |
|
shingles |
|
scurvy |
Scurvy is a difficiency disease caused by a lack of Vitamin C in the diet.
212°F is how many °C?

|
\(135 {5 \over 9}\) |
|
-100 |
The formula to convert from F° to C° is:
\(C° = {5 \over 9} (F° - 32)\)
plugging in our values gives:
\(C° = {5 \over 9} (212 - 32)\)
\(C° = {5 \over 9} (180) = {{180 \times 5} \over 9}\)
\(C° = {900 \over 9}\)
\(C° = 100\)
