The ozone layer is in which of Earth's atmospheric layers?
mesosphere |
|
thermosphere |
|
troposphere |
|
stratosphere |
The stratosphere is just above the troposphere and is stratified in temperature with warmer layers higher and cooler layers closer to Earth. This increase in temperature is a result of absorption of the Sun's radiation by the ozone layer.
Which of the following would you find in the side view mirror of a car?
convex lens |
|
convex mirror |
|
concave mirror |
|
concave lens |
A concave (or converging) mirror bulges inward and focuses reflected light on the mirror's focal point where the mirror's angles of incidence converge. In contrast, a convex (or diverging) mirror bulges outward and diffuses the light waves that strike it. A common use of a concave mirror is in a reflecting telescope, a common use of a convex mirror is in the side view mirror of a car.
Convert 5C° to F°.

To convert from C° to F° use:
\(F° = {9 \over 5}C° + 32\)
\(F° = {9 \over 5}(5) + 32\)
\(F° = {45 \over 5} + 32\)
\(F° = 9 + 32 = 41\)
-40°F is how many °C?
-8 |
|
-40 |
|
\(-{40 \over 9}\) |
|
\({40 \over 9}\) |
The formula to convert from F° to C° is:
\(C° = {5 \over 9} (F° - 32)\)
plugging in our values gives:
\(C° = {5 \over 9} (-40 - 32)\)
\(C° = {5 \over 9} (-72) = {{-72 \times 5} \over 9}\)
\(C° = {-360 \over 9}\)
\(C° = -40\)
Antigens are found on the outside of which blood cells?
plasma |
|
white |
|
platelets |
|
red |
Blood is categorized into four different types (A, B, AB, and O) based on the type of antigens found on the outside of the red blood cells. Additionally, each type can be negative or positive based on whether or not the cells have an antigen called the Rh factor.
