Which of the following is not a medium for sound waves?
none of these is a medium for sound waves |
|
liquid |
|
vacuum |
|
solid |
A vibrating object produces a sound wave that travels outwardly from the object through a medium (any liquid or solid matter). The vibration disturbs the particles in the surrounding medium, those particles disturb the particules next to them, and so on, as the sound propagates away from the vibration.
Which of the following describes the Earth's outer core?
primarily solid |
|
makes up most of the Earth's volume |
|
liquid |
|
solid |
The Earth's core is divided into the liquid outer core (1,430 miles or 2,300 km radius) and the solid inner core (745 miles or 1,200 km radius).
A subatomic particle that orbits the nucleus of an atom. It carries a negative electric charge. This desribes which of the following?
proton |
|
neutron |
|
electron |
|
isotope |
An electron is a subatomic particle that orbits the nucleus of an atom. It carries a negative electric charge. Generally, an atom has the same number of negative electrons orbiting the nucleus as it does positive protons inside.
212°F is how many °C?
-100 |
|
\(135 {5 \over 9}\) |

100 |
The formula to convert from F° to C° is:
\(C° = {5 \over 9} (F° - 32)\)
plugging in our values gives:
\(C° = {5 \over 9} (212 - 32)\)
\(C° = {5 \over 9} (180) = {{180 \times 5} \over 9}\)
\(C° = {900 \over 9}\)
\(C° = 100\)

To convert from C° to F° use:
\(F° = {9 \over 5}C° + 32\)
\(F° = {9 \over 5}(5) + 32\)
\(F° = {45 \over 5} + 32\)
\(F° = 9 + 32 = 41\)
