Convert -20C° to F°.

54% Answer Correctly

36

-36

78

-4


Solution

To convert from C° to F° use:

\(F° = {9 \over 5}C° + 32\)

\(F° = {9 \over 5}(-20) + 32\)

\(F° = {-180 \over 5} + 32\)

\(F° = -36 + 32 = -4\)

The rows of the Periodic Table of the Elements are called:

63% Answer Correctly

periods

groups

shells

families


Solution

The rows of the Periodic Table are called periods and contain elements that have the same number of electron shells ordered from lower to higher atomic number. 


3

As a cold front moves into an area, the heavier cool air __________ the lighter warm air that it is replacing.

66% Answer Correctly

pushes under

mixes with

cancels out

pushes above


Solution

A cold front is a warm-cold air boundary with the colder air replacing the warmer. As a cold front moves into an area, the heavier cool air pushes under the lighter warm air that it is replacing. The warm air becomes cooler as it rises and, if the rising air is humid enough, the water vapor it contains will condense into clouds and precipitation may fall.

"The acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object." This describes which of Newton's laws of motion?

65% Answer Correctly

fourth

second

first

third


Solution

Newton's second law of motion states that The acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object. This law basically means that the greater the mass of an object, the more force is needed to overcome its inertia.


5

Which of the following substances gives up negatively charged hydroxide ions (OH-) when dissolved in water?

42% Answer Correctly

hydrogen

acid

base

ion


Solution

An acid is a substance that gives up positively charged hydrogen ions (H+) when dissolved in water. A base (alkaline) gives up negatively charged hydroxide ions (OH-) when dissolved in water. pH is a scale that measures of how basic or acidic a solution is. Numbered from 0 to 14, solutions with a pH of 7 are neutral, less than 7 are acidic, more than 7 are alkaline.
