5. Write About It Suppose you are searching for
new life forms as part of an expedition in a
remote region of Alaska. At one site you find
24 greenish-brown objects, each measuring
around 1 cm3. The objects do not appear to
have heads, tails, or legs, but you suspect they
may be alive. Describe what you would do to
determine if the objects are alive.

Suppose you have designed a new thermometer called the x thermometer. on the x scale the boiling point of water is 129 ? x and the freezing point of water is 13 ? x. part a at what temperature are the readings on the fahrenheit and x thermometers the same?

The last few miles of the marathon are the most difficult for heather, her hair plastered to her head, sweat clinging to her arms, and her legs already feeling as if they had nothing left, just dead weight. after grabbing a cup of ice water, she feels the ice cubes smash against her nose as she gulps some cool refreshment and keeps on running. in these last few miles, the breeze kicks up and she finally feels some coolness against her skin. drips of sweat, once clinging to her forehead, now spill down, and heather feels more pain as the sweat flows into her eyes.which of the following is the most likely reason why the ice struck heather’s nose when she took a drink? a) water can function as a solvent. b) water can store large amounts of heat. c) water can moderate temperatures through evaporative cooling. d) the density of water decreases when it freezes. e) water has a cohesive nature.sweat remained on heather’s forehead and arms because of the a) high salt content of sweat b) cohesive nature of water c) ability of water to moderate heat d) high evaporative cooling effect of water e) ability of water to act as a solvent

Which statement explains which thermometer is more appropriate to measure the temperature of a liquid at 43.6 degrees celsius a) thermometer a, because it measures temperature more accurately than thermometer b b) thermometer b, because it measures temperature more accurately than thermometer a c) thermometer a, because it measures temperature more precisely than thermometer b d) thermometer b, because it measures temperature more precisely than thermometer a
