212°F is how many °C?

78% Answer Correctly

100

0

-100

\(135 {5 \over 9}\)


Solution

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

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (F° - 32)\)

plugging in our values gives:

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (212 - 32)\)

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

\(C° = {900 \over 9}\)

\(C° = 100\)


2

A subatomic particle found in the nucleus of an atom. It carries no electric charge. This desribes which of the following?

80% Answer Correctly

atom

electron

neutron

proton


Solution

A neutron is a subatomic particle found in the nucleus of an atom. It is neutral as it carries no electric charge.


3

The formula for acceleration is which of the following?

56% Answer Correctly

\(\vec{a} = \vec{F} m\)

\(\vec{a} = { \vec{F} \over m }\)

\(\vec{a} = { m \over F }\)

\(\vec{a} = { m \over \vec{F} }\)


Solution

Newton's second law of motion leads to the formula for acceleration which is a measure of the rate of change of velocity per unit time and, if you solve for positive acceleration, reveals how much net force is needed to overcome an object's mass.  The formula for acceleration is  \(\vec{a} = { \vec{F} \over m }\) or, solving for force,  \(\vec{F} = m\vec{a}\).


4

Which of the following temperatures is least like the others?

43% Answer Correctly

0K

-273°C

32°F

absolute zero


Solution

Absolute zero is the coldest possible temperature in the universe. In the Kelvin scale, absolute zero is 0K and in the Celsius scale it is -273°C.


5

Which of the following is the formula for power?

56% Answer Correctly

\(P = {\vec{w} \over t}\)

\(P = {w \over t}\)

\(P = \vec{w}t\)

\(P = w t\)


Solution

Power is the rate at which work is performed or work per unit time:  \(P = {w \over t}\)  and is measured in watts (W).
