autonomic |
|

To convert from C° to F° use:
\(F° = {9 \over 5}C° + 32\)
\(F° = {9 \over 5}(5) + 32\)
\(F° = {45 \over 5} + 32\)
\(F° = 9 + 32 = 41\)
Which of these is a type of Earth's crust?
sedimentary |
|
terrestrial |
|
oceanic |
|
metamorphic |
The crust is the Earth's outermost layer and is divided into oceanic and continental types. Oceanic crust is 3 miles (5 km) to 6 miles (10 km) thick and is composed primarily of denser rock. Continental crust is 20 to 30 miles (30 to 50 km) thick and composed primarily of less dense rock. The crust makes up approximately one percent of the Earth's total volume.

Which of the following is not true about mass and weight?
weight is the force exerted on an object by gravity |
|
mass depends on the location where it is measured |
|
mass is the amount of matter something has |
|
weight depends on the location where it is measured |
Mass is the amount of matter something has while weight is the force exerted on an object's mass by gravity. So, although a person's mass doesn't change when going from the Earth to the Moon, their weight will decrease because the force of the Moon's gravity is much less than that of Earth.
