1

50°F is how many °C?

72% Answer Correctly

-10

122

58

10


Solution

The formula to convert from F° to C° is:

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (F° - 32)\)

plugging in our values gives:

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (50 - 32)\)

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (18)\)

\(C° = {90 \over 9}\)

\(C° = 10\)


2

Plant cells may generate energy through which of the following?

72% Answer Correctly

photosynthesis

all of these

aerobic respiration

anaerobic respiration


Solution

Some plant cells produce their own energy through photosynthesis which is the process by which sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water react to make sugar and oxygen. Animal cells cannot produce their own energy and, instead, generate energy when mitochondria consume outside sugar and oxygen through aerobic respiration.


3

During the water cycle, water enters the atmosphere as a gas through which process?

26% Answer Correctly

both evaporation and transpiration

evaporation

precipitation

transpiration


Solution

The water (hydrologic) cycle describes the movement of water from Earth through the atmosphere and back to Earth. The cycle starts when water evaporates into a gas from bodies of water like rivers, lakes and oceans or transpirates from the leaves of plants.


4

Scalar quantities are fully described by which of the following?

47% Answer Correctly

a magnitude only

a magnitude and a polarity

a direction only

a magnitude and a direction


Solution

Velocity and displacement are vector quantities which means each is fully described by both a magnitude and a direction.  In contrast, scalar quantities are quantities that are fully described by a magnitude only.  A variable indicating a vector quantity will often be shown with an arrow symbol:  \(\vec{v}\)


5

Which of the following does not represent the freezing point of water?

50% Answer Correctly

0°C

0°F

273K

32°F


Solution

The Fahrenheit scale fixes the freezing point of water at 32°F, the Celsuis scale at 0°C, and the Kelvin scale at 273K.
