Convert -20C° to F°.

54% Answer Correctly

-4

78

36

-36


Solution

To convert from C° to F° use:

\(F° = {9 \over 5}C° + 32\)

\(F° = {9 \over 5}(-20) + 32\)

\(F° = {-180 \over 5} + 32\)

\(F° = -36 + 32 = -4\)


2

In the food chain, consumers are classified as which of the following?

73% Answer Correctly

tertiary

all of these

primary

secondary


Solution

Most animals consume other organisms to survive. Consumers (heterotrophs) are divided into three types, primary, secondary, and tertiary, based on their place in the food chain.

5

Which of the following is the correct order for types of radiation from lowest to highest frequency?

62% Answer Correctly

visible light → ultraviolet light → radio waves

radio waves → visible light → gamma rays

microwaves → radio waves → visible light

infrared waves → microwaves → ultraviolet light


Solution

The electromagnetic spectrum covers all possible wavelengths and frequencies of radiation.  From lowest frequency (longest wavelength) to highest frequency (shortest wavelength) radiation: radio waves → microwaves → infrared waves → visible light → ultraviolet light → X-rays → gamma rays.
