1

Convert 5C° to F°.

53% Answer Correctly

-23

27

41

37


Solution

To convert from C° to F° use:

\(F° = {9 \over 5}C° + 32\)

\(F° = {9 \over 5}(5) + 32\)

\(F° = {45 \over 5} + 32\)

\(F° = 9 + 32 = 41\)


2

Work is measured in:

75% Answer Correctly

joules or newton-meters

watts

amps

horsepower


Solution

Work is performed on an object when an applied force causes displacement along the same vector. Measured in joules (J) or newton-meters (Nm), work is calculated by multiplying force times displacement:  \(W = \vec{F}\vec{d}\)


3

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

63% Answer Correctly

mid-altitude

high-altitude

low-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.


4
