Which of the following would you find in the side view mirror of a car?

57% Answer Correctly

convex lens

concave mirror

concave lens

convex mirror


Solution

A concave (or converging) mirror bulges inward and focuses reflected light on the mirror's focal point where the mirror's angles of incidence converge. In contrast, a convex (or diverging) mirror bulges outward and diffuses the light waves that strike it. A common use of a concave mirror is in a reflecting telescope, a common use of a convex mirror is in the side view mirror of a car.

The transfer of heat by the circulation or movement of the heated parts of a liquid or gas is called:

61% Answer Correctly

convection

radiation

conduction

diffusion


Solution

Convection is the transfer of heat by the circulation or movement of the heated parts of a liquid or gas. Examples of heat transfer by convection include water coming to a boil on a stove, ice melting, and steam from a cup of coffee. 


3

Convert -20C° to F°.

54% Answer Correctly

78

-36

-4

36


Solution

To convert from C° to F° use:

\(F° = {9 \over 5}C° + 32\)

\(F° = {9 \over 5}(-20) + 32\)

\(F° = {-180 \over 5} + 32\)

\(F° = -36 + 32 = -4\)


4

Molecules and atoms that are outputs from a chemical reaction are known as which of the following?

56% Answer Correctly

results

reactants

side effects

products


Solution

During a chemical reaction molecules and atoms (reactants) are rearranged into new combinations that result in new kinds of atoms or molecules (products).


5

What prevents blood pumped out of the ventricles from flowing back into the heart?

73% Answer Correctly

platelets

capillaries

valves

atria


Solution

The heart is the organ that drives the circulatory system. In humans, it consists of four chambers with two that collect blood called atria and two that pump blood called ventricles. The heart's valves prevent blood pumped out of the ventricles from flowing back into the heart.
