212°F is how many °C?

78% Answer Correctly

0

\(135 {5 \over 9}\)

-100

100


Solution

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

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (F° - 32)\)

plugging in our values gives:

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (212 - 32)\)

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (180) = {{180 \times 5} \over 9}\)

\(C° = {900 \over 9}\)

\(C° = 100\)


2

When two air masses meet and neither is displaced, what kind of front is present?

75% Answer Correctly

stationary

occluded

cold

warm 


Solution

When two air masses meet and neither is displaced, a stationary front is created. Stationary fronts often cause persistent cloudy wet weather.


3

Leafy vegetables, beans, potatoes, fruits, and whole grains are good sources of:

83% Answer Correctly

saturated fat

fiber

protein

unsaturated fat


Solution

Fiber provides bulk to help the large intestine carry away waste. Good sources of fiber are leafy vegetables, beans, potatoes, fruits, and whole grains.


4

Carbohydrates are found in:

89% Answer Correctly

animal sources

vegetable oils

sugars and starches

food additives


Solution

Carbohydrates are major sources of energy for the body and are found in sugars (fruit, cane sugar, beets) and starches (bread, rice, potatoes, pasta).


5

Velocity and displacement are fully described by both a magnitude and a direction.  Velocity and displacement are which of the following?

70% Answer Correctly

composite quantities

scalar quantities

vector quantities

combinational quantities


Solution

Velocity and displacement are vector quantities which means each is fully described by both a magnitude and a direction.  In contrast, scalar quantities are quantities that are fully described by a magnitude only.  A variable indicating a vector quantity will often be shown with an arrow symbol:  \(\vec{v}\)
