1

Convert 0C° to F°.

72% Answer Correctly

-32

32

16

0


Solution

To convert from C° to F° use:

\(F° = {9 \over 5}C° + 32\)

\(F° = {9 \over 5}(0) + 32\)

\(F° = 0 + 32 = 32\)

 


2

The Sun is a __________-type main-sequence star.

64% Answer Correctly

E

D

S

G


Solution

The Sun is a G-type main-sequence star (G2V) but is informally known as a yellow dwarf star. Composed of 73% hydrogen and 25% helium, the hot plasma that makes up the Sun reaches 9,900°F (5,505°C) at the surface. It formed approximately 4.6 billion years ago and makes up 99.86% of the mass in the solar system.


3

Menstruation occurs when:

77% Answer Correctly

the zygote is formed

the ovum becomes fertilized

the fetus is formed 

the ovum fails to become fertilized


Solution

If the ovum fails to become fertilized, the lining of the uterus sloughs off during menstruation. From puberty to menopause, this cycle of menstruation repeats monthly (except during pregnancy).


4

The gravitational interaction of Earth and the Moon is responsible for which of these?

77% Answer Correctly

the northern lights

tides

day and night cycle

seasons


Solution

Tides are caused by the gravitational interaction of Earth and the Moon.


5

212°F is how many °C?

78% Answer Correctly

0

\(135 {5 \over 9}\)

-100

100


Solution

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

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (F° - 32)\)

plugging in our values gives:

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (212 - 32)\)

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (180) = {{180 \times 5} \over 9}\)

\(C° = {900 \over 9}\)

\(C° = 100\)
