212°F is how many °C?

77% 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:

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (212 - 32)\)

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

\(C° = {900 \over 9}\)

\(C° = 100\)

61% Answer Correctly

plants

habitats

animals

minerals

3

The rate of vibration of sound is called:

83% Answer Correctly

volume

period

frequency

amplitude


Solution

The rate of vibration of sound is called frequency and is measured in hertz (Hz). One hertz is one repetition per second and sounds with high frequency have a higher pitch than sounds with lower frequency. Humans can hear sounds in the range of 20 Hz to 20 kHz.


4

Earth's troposphere layer is which of the following?

73% Answer Correctly

hottest

coldest

closest to the surface

farthest from the surface


Solution

The Earth's atmosphere has several layers starting with the troposphere which is closest in proximity to the surface. Containing most of the Earth's breathable air (oxygen and nitrogen), it's a region with warmer temperatures closer to the surface and cooler temperatures farther away which results in the rising and falling air that generates weather.


5

80% Answer Correctly

neutron

proton

electron

atom


Solution

A proton is a subatomic particle found in the nucleus of an atom. It carries a positive electric charge.
