2

50°F is how many °C?

72% Answer Correctly

58

122

-10

10


Solution

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

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (F° - 32)\)

plugging in our values gives:

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (50 - 32)\)

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (18)\)

\(C° = {90 \over 9}\)

\(C° = 10\)


3

Which of the following is not true about mass and weight?

55% Answer Correctly

mass is the amount of matter something has

mass depends on the location where it is measured

weight depends on the location where it is measured

weight is the force exerted on an object by gravity


Solution

Mass is the amount of matter something has while weight is the force exerted on an object's mass by gravity.  So, although a person's mass doesn't change when going from the Earth to the Moon, their weight will decrease because the force of the Moon's gravity is much less than that of Earth.


4

Earth's history is divided into time periods, which of these is the shortest time period? 

57% Answer Correctly

epoch

age

period

eon


Solution

The Earth is approximately 4.6 billion years old and its history is divided into time periods based on the events that took place and the forms of life that were dominant during those periods. The largest graduation of time is the eon and each eon is subdivided into eras, eras into periods, periods into epochs, and epochs into ages.
