Which of these parts of digestion takes place in the mouth?
breaking down proteins |
|
breaking down fats |
|
absorbing nutrients |
|
breaking down starches |
Digestion begins in the mouth where the teeth and tongue break down food mechanically through chewing and saliva, via the enzyme salivary amylase, starts to break starches down chemically. From the mouth, food travels down the esophagus where contractions push the food into the stomach.
-40°F is how many °C?
-8 |
|
\({40 \over 9}\) |
|
\(-{40 \over 9}\) |
|
-40 |
The formula to convert from F° to C° is:
\(C° = {5 \over 9} (F° - 32)\)
plugging in our values gives:
\(C° = {5 \over 9} (-40 - 32)\)
\(C° = {5 \over 9} (-72) = {{-72 \times 5} \over 9}\)
\(C° = {-360 \over 9}\)
\(C° = -40\)
"An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force." This describes which of Newton's laws of motion?
first |
|
second |
|
third |
|
fourth |
Also known as the law of inertia, Newton's first law of motion states that An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
