1

Which of the following represents the largest value?

61% Answer Correctly

1 cL

1 mL

1 ML

1 kL


Solution

Mega (M) is 106, kilo (k) is 103, centi (c) is 10-2, milli (m) is 10-3 so 1 ML represents the largest value.


2

Convert 0C° to F°.

72% Answer Correctly

32

16

0

-32


Solution

To convert from C° to F° use:

\(F° = {9 \over 5}C° + 32\)

\(F° = {9 \over 5}(0) + 32\)

\(F° = 0 + 32 = 32\)

 


3

The pitch of the siren of an approaching ambulance changes as it approaches you. This is an example of which of the following?

71% Answer Correctly

sound radiation

Doppler effect

refraction

reflection


Solution

The Doppler effect occurs when the source or listener (or both) of sound waves is moving. If they're moving closer together, the listener perceives the sound with a higher pitch and, when they're moving apart, the listener perceives the sound with a lower pitch.


4

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

42% Answer Correctly

acid

base

ion

hydrogen


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.


5

Force is measured in newtons (N) with 1 N being the force required to impart an acceleration of:

59% Answer Correctly

1 mph to a mass of 1 kg

1 m/s2 to a mass of 1 kg/s2

1 m/s2 to a mass of 1 kg

1 m/s to a mass of 1 kg


Solution

Weight is a force that describes the attraction of gravity on an object. Force is measured in newtons (N) with 1 N being the force required to impart an acceleration of 1 m/s2 to a mass of 1 kg.
