Work is measured in:
horsepower |
|
joules or newton-meters |
|
watts |
|
amps |
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: \(W = \vec{F}\vec{d}\)
Which of these layers is found directly below the Earth's crust?
mantle |
|
outer core |
|
inner core |
|
continents |
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.
-40°F is how many °C?
\(-{40 \over 9}\) |
|
\({40 \over 9}\) |
|
-40 |
|
-8 |
The formula to convert from F° to C° is:
\(C° = {5 \over 9} (F° - 32)\)
plugging in our values gives:
\(C° = {5 \over 9} (-40 - 32)\)
\(C° = {5 \over 9} (-72) = {{-72 \times 5} \over 9}\)
\(C° = {-360 \over 9}\)
\(C° = -40\)
Herbivores are __________ that subsist on producers like plants and fungus.
tertiary consumers |
|
primary consumers |
|
secondary consumers |
|
scavengers |
Primary consumers (herbivores) subsist on producers like plants and fungus. Examples are grasshoppers, cows, and plankton.
Cirrus clouds generally occur in what kind of weather?
fair |
|
hot |
|
freezing |
|
stormy |
Cirrus clouds are thin, wispy high-altitude clouds composed of ice crystals that originate from the freezing of supercooled water droplets. Cirrus clouds generally occur in fair weather and point in the direction of air movement at their elevation.
