9-Year-old Asking About Sex

My daughter has asked me what the word sex means and what sex is. She is 9. I explained to her that some questions are very difficult to answer and that I would like some time to think about it so I answer it the best way I can. She accepted that but I feel I need to give her an answer soon. Any suggestions? How much should a 9-year-old know? It's obvious someone, probably a kid at school, has used the word or talked about it. Otherwise she wouldn't be asking. I do realize she could have also gotten it from TV.

Violent Fits and Disruption from 9 year-old-Need Advice!

We are a large combined family. My 9-year-old stepdaughter has been a huge household disruption and as she has gotten older her "temper tantrums" have gotten more and more violent. She is now 110 pounds of solid muscle. I have removed myself from any confrontations involving her and let her father handle them due to untrue accusations she has made regarding me to her mother/the authorities in the past. Her father is the non-custodial parent but we have his children at our house very frequently. We now have a new baby and fear for her...
