1

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 cell biology, what part of the cell contains organelles?

54% Answer Correctly

cell membrane

nucleus

cell wall

cytoplasm


Solution

The nucleus of a eukaryotic cell contains the genetic material of the cell and is surrounded by cytoplasm which contains many organelles.


3

Which of the following states of matter exists at the highest temperature?

68% Answer Correctly

liquid

solid

none of these

gas


Solution

Solids exist at a lower temperature than liquids which exist at a lower temperature than gases.


4

Which of the following would be found on a reflecting telescope?

42% Answer Correctly

concave mirror

convex lens

convex mirror

concave lens


Solution

A concave (or converging) mirror bulges inward and focuses reflected light on the mirror's focal point where the mirror's angles of incidence converge. In contrast, a convex (or diverging) mirror bulges outward and diffuses the light waves that strike it. A common use of a concave mirror is in a reflecting telescope, a common use of a convex mirror is in the side view mirror of a car.


5

Absolute zero is which of the following?

58% Answer Correctly

the freezing point of hydrogen

0°C

the freezing point of oxygen

the coldest temperature possible in the universe


Solution

In contrast to the Celsius scale (measured in degrees centigrade) that fixes 0° at the freezing point of water and the Fahrenheit scale that uses 32°, the Kelvin scale fixes 0 at absolute zero (-273°C) which is the lowest temperature possible in the universe.
