1

In the food chain, omnivores may be which of the following?

45% Answer Correctly

primary or tertiary consumers

primary or secondary consumers

secondary consumers or scavengers

secondary or tertiary consumers


Solution

Secondary or tertiary consumers may be omnivores.


2

-40°F is how many °C?

40% Answer Correctly

\(-{40 \over 9}\)

\({40 \over 9}\)

-40

-8


Solution

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

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (F° - 32)\)

plugging in our values gives:

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (-40 - 32)\)

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (-72) = {{-72 \times 5} \over 9}\)

\(C° = {-360 \over 9}\)

\(C° = -40\)


3

Which of the following substances gives up positively charged hydrogen ions (H+) when dissolved in water?

55% Answer Correctly

alkaline

solution

acid

base


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.


4

The heat from the Sun traveling to Earth is an example of which of the following?

86% Answer Correctly

radiation

conduction

convection

electricity


Solution

Radiation occurs when electromagnetic waves transmit heat. An example is the heat from the Sun as it travels to Earth.


5

The angle of reflection is equal to which the following?

48% Answer Correctly

focal point

angle of incidence

refractive index

90°


Solution

The law of reflection specifies how waves, including light waves, bounce off of surfaces. Specifically, the angle of incidence of the approaching wave is equal to the angle of reflection of the reflected wave as measured from a line perpendicular (90°) to the surface.
