2

What part of the nervous system is responsible for controlling involuntary actions like breathing, swallowing, and heartbeat?

63% Answer Correctly

spinal cord

medulla

cerebellum

cerebrum


Solution

Part of the brainstem, the medulla is the connection between the brain and the spinal cord. It controls involuntary actions like breathing, swallowing, and heartbeat.


3

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

68% Answer Correctly

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

none of these

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

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


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  \(\vec{v} = { \vec{d} \over t } \) 


4

50°F is how many °C?

72% Answer Correctly

10

122

-10

58


Solution

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

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (F° - 32)\)

plugging in our values gives:

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (50 - 32)\)

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (18)\)

\(C° = {90 \over 9}\)

\(C° = 10\)


5

The heat from the Sun traveling to Earth is an example of which of the following?

85% Answer Correctly

electricity

convection

conduction

radiation


Solution

Radiation occurs when electromagnetic waves transmit heat. An example is the heat from the Sun as it travels to Earth.
