212°F is how many °C?
-100 |
|
0 |
|
\(135 {5 \over 9}\) |
|
100 |
The formula to convert from F° to C° is:
\(C° = {5 \over 9} (F° - 32)\)
plugging in our values gives:
\(C° = {5 \over 9} (212 - 32)\)
\(C° = {5 \over 9} (180) = {{180 \times 5} \over 9}\)
\(C° = {900 \over 9}\)
\(C° = 100\)
The formula for acceleration is which of the following?
\(\vec{a} = { m \over \vec{F} }\) |
|
\(\vec{a} = { m \over F }\) |
|
\(\vec{a} = { \vec{F} \over m }\) |
|
\(\vec{a} = \vec{F} m\) |
Newton's second law of motion leads to the formula for acceleration which is a measure of the rate of change of velocity per unit time and, if you solve for positive acceleration, reveals how much net force is needed to overcome an object's mass. The formula for acceleration is \(\vec{a} = { \vec{F} \over m }\) or, solving for force, \(\vec{F} = m\vec{a}\).
The envelope of gases surrounding the planet is called the:
hydrosphere |
|
lithosphere |
|
atmosphere |
|
geosphere |
The biosphere is the global ecological system integrating all living beings and their relationships. This includes their interactions with the lithosphere (the rigid outer part of the earth, consisting of the crust and upper mantle), hydrosphere (all surface water), and atmosphere (the envelope of gases surrounding the planet).
Absolute zero is which of the following?
0°C |
|
the coldest temperature possible in the universe |
|
the freezing point of oxygen |
|
the freezing point of hydrogen |
In contrast to the Celsius scale (measured in degrees centigrade) that fixes 0° at the freezing point of water and the Fahrenheit scale that uses 32°, the Kelvin scale fixes 0 at absolute zero (-273°C) which is the lowest temperature possible in the universe.
The four planets closest to the Sun are called terrestrial. What does terrestrial mean?
the planets are Earth-like |
|
the planets have magnetic fields |
|
the planets have moons |
|
the planets have water |
The four planets closest to the Sun (Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars) are called terrestrial (Earth-like) planets because, like the Earth, they're solid with inner metal cores covered by rocky surfaces.
