1

Convert 5C° to F°.

53% Answer Correctly

-23

27

41

37


Solution

To convert from C° to F° use:

\(F° = {9 \over 5}C° + 32\)

\(F° = {9 \over 5}(5) + 32\)

\(F° = {45 \over 5} + 32\)

\(F° = 9 + 32 = 41\)


2

Which of the following is sedimentary rock?

74% Answer Correctly

obsidian

sandstone

slate

basalt


Solution

The Earth's rocks fall into three categories based on how they're formed. Igneous rock (granite, basalt, obsidian) is formed from the hardening of molten rock (lava), sedimentary rock (shale, sandstone, coal) is formed by the gradual despositing and cementing of rock and other debris, and metamorphic rock (marble, slate, quartzite) which is formed when existing rock is altered though pressure, temperature, or chemical processes.


3

The heat from the Sun traveling to Earth is an example of which of the following?

86% Answer Correctly

radiation

electricity

conduction

convection


Solution

Radiation occurs when electromagnetic waves transmit heat. An example is the heat from the Sun as it travels to Earth.


4

The respiratory and circulatory systems are similar in that they:

84% Answer Correctly

deoxygenate blood

add carbon dioxide

transport oxygen

transport nutrients


Solution

Like the respiratory system, the circulatory system serves to transport oxygen throughout the body while removing carbon dioxide. In addition, the circulatory system transports nutrients from the digestive system.


5

69% Answer Correctly

carbohydrates
