50°F is how many °C?

72% Answer Correctly

-10

10

58

122


Solution

The formula to convert from F° to C° is:

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (F° - 32)\)

plugging in our values gives:

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (50 - 32)\)

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (18)\)

\(C° = {90 \over 9}\)

\(C° = 10\)


2

The transfer of heat by the circulation or movement of the heated parts of a liquid or gas is called:

61% Answer Correctly

conduction

radiation

convection

diffusion


Solution

Convection is the transfer of heat by the circulation or movement of the heated parts of a liquid or gas. Examples of heat transfer by convection include water coming to a boil on a stove, ice melting, and steam from a cup of coffee. 


3

Which of the following is not a medium for sound waves?

59% Answer Correctly

none of these is a medium for sound waves

solid

liquid

vacuum


Solution

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.


4

62% Answer Correctly
