212°F is how many °C?

78% Answer Correctly

0

100

\(135 {5 \over 9}\)

-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

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

potential

kinetic

inherent

gravitational


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.


3

Which part of the respiratory system helps protect against infection?

53% Answer Correctly

trachea

epiglottis

pharynx

nasal cavity


Solution

After air enters through the nose, it passes through the nasal cavity which filters, moistens, and warms it. Further filtering takes place in the pharynx, which also helps protect against infection, and then in the trachea which is just past the epiglottis, responsible for preventing food from entering the airway.


4

Which of these is important for the body's maintenance, growth, and repair?

88% Answer Correctly

fiber

fats

protein

carbohydrates


Solution

Found in both animal sources (meat, fish, eggs, cheese) and vegetables (beans, nuts, some grains), proteins are important for the body's maintenance, growth, and repair.


5

"The acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object." This describes which of Newton's laws of motion?

64% Answer Correctly

first

fourth

second

third


Solution

Newton's second law of motion states that The acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object. This law basically means that the greater the mass of an object, the more force is needed to overcome its inertia.
