212°F is how many °C?

77% 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

The energy posessed by a ball on the window ledge of a tall building is an example of what kind of energy?

66% Answer Correctly

inherent

gravitational

potential

kinetic


Solution

Kinetic energy is the energy posessed by a moving object. Potential energy is stored energy in a stationary object based on its location, position, shape, or state.


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

reflection

Doppler effect

refraction

sound radiation


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 Earth's layers has weather?

64% Answer Correctly

stratosphere

mesosphere

troposphere

thermosphere


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

Which of these is not a function of bone in the human skeletal system?

53% Answer Correctly

protect bodily organs

store minerals

store vitamins

produce blood cells


Solution

Hard bones provide primary support for the endoskeleton while more flexible cartilage is found at the end of all bones, at the joints, and in the nose and ears. In addition to providing support and protecting bodily organs, bones also produce blood cells and store minerals like calcium.
