212°F is how many °C?
\(135 {5 \over 9}\) |
|
-100 |
|
100 |
|
0 |
The formula to convert from F° to C° is:
\(C° = {5 \over 9} (F° - 32)\)
plugging in our values gives:
\(C° = {5 \over 9} (212 - 32)\)
\(C° = {5 \over 9} (180) = {{180 \times 5} \over 9}\)
\(C° = {900 \over 9}\)
\(C° = 100\)
Water coming to a boil on a stove, ice melting, and steam from a cup of coffee are all examples of which of the following?
conduction |
|
radiation |
|
reflection |
|
convection |
Convection is the transfer of heat by the circulation or movement of the heated parts of a liquid or gas.
Which of the following is not true about mass and weight?
mass depends on the location where it is measured |
|
weight depends on the location where it is measured |
|
mass is the amount of matter something has |
|
weight is the force exerted on an object by gravity |
Mass is the amount of matter something has while weight is the force exerted on an object's mass by gravity. So, although a person's mass doesn't change when going from the Earth to the Moon, their weight will decrease because the force of the Moon's gravity is much less than that of Earth.
Which of the following would you find in the side view mirror of a car?
concave lens |
|
concave mirror |
|
convex lens |
|
convex mirror |
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.
Which of these is not a recognized blood type?
AO |
|
B |
|
O |
|
AB |
Blood is categorized into four different types (A, B, AB, and O) based on the type of antigens found on the outside of the red blood cells. Additionally, each type can be negative or positive based on whether or not the cells have an antigen called the Rh factor.
