Convert 5C° to F°.

53% Answer Correctly

27

37

-23

41


Solution

To convert from C° to F° use:

\(F° = {9 \over 5}C° + 32\)

\(F° = {9 \over 5}(5) + 32\)

\(F° = {45 \over 5} + 32\)

\(F° = 9 + 32 = 41\)

Blood pressure is generally highest in which of the following?

61% Answer Correctly

capillaries

arteries

heart

4

Stratus clouds are __________clouds characterized by horizontal layering with a broad flat base. 

64% Answer Correctly

low-altitude

mid-altitude

high-altitude

all-altitude


Solution

Clouds are categorized based on their shape, size, and altitude. Stratus clouds are low-altitude clouds characterized by horizontal layering with a broad flat base. When stratus clouds occur on the ground the result is fog.

The dwarf planet Pluto is located where?

63% Answer Correctly

outside the solar system

in the Kuiper Belt

in the asteroid belt

between the orbits of Jupiter and Saturn


Solution

The Kuiper Belt is similar to the asteroid belt but much larger. Extending beyond the orbit of Neptune, it contains objects composed mostly of frozen methane, ammonia, and water. Most notably, the Kuiper Belt is home to Pluto, a dwarf planet that, until a 2006 reclassification, was considered the ninth planet of the solar system.
