76% Answer Correctly

large intestine

2

50°F is how many °C?

72% Answer Correctly

10

58

122

-10


Solution

The formula to convert from F° to C° is:

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (F° - 32)\)

plugging in our values gives:

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (50 - 32)\)

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (18)\)

\(C° = {90 \over 9}\)

\(C° = 10\)


3

The energy posessed by a ball on the window ledge of a tall building is an example of what kind of energy?

66% Answer Correctly

gravitational

potential

inherent

kinetic


Solution

Kinetic energy is the energy posessed by a moving object. Potential energy is stored energy in a stationary object based on its location, position, shape, or state.


4

Earth's breathable air is held in which atmospheric layer?

67% Answer Correctly

thermosphere

mesosphere

troposphere

stratosphere


Solution

The Earth's atmosphere has several layers starting with the troposphere which is closest in proximity to the surface. Containing most of the Earth's breathable air (oxygen and nitrogen), it's a region with warmer temperatures closer to the surface and cooler temperatures farther away which results in the rising and falling air that generates weather.


5

"For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction." This describes which of Newton's laws of motion?

69% Answer Correctly

first

fourth

second

third


Solution

Newton's third law of motion states that For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. When an object exerts a force on another object, the second object exerts a force of equal magnitude in the opposite direction on the first object.
