Complete the statement. During this chemical reaction, the car engine becomes ().
[ "colder", "warmer" ]
B
To determine whether the car engine becomes warmer or colder, look for the text that describes the movement of thermal energy during the reaction.The gasoline used in cars today is a mixture of over 1,000 different substances. One of these substances is isooctane (C8 H18). In a car engine, isooctane reacts with oxygen (O2) to produce carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2 O). During the reaction, a large amount of thermal energy is released into the surroundings. This thermal energy is used to power the car.The underlined text tells you that thermal energy is released into the surroundings. Because thermal energy moves out of the reaction and into the surroundings, the temperature of the surroundings increases.The surroundings include the car engine that the reaction takes place in. So, the car engine becomes warmer.

She originally dropped 5000/25=<<5000/25=200>>200 kernels of popcorn. The squirrel ate 200/4=<<200/4=50>>50 kernels of popcorn. Therefore, 200-50=<<200-50=150>>150 kernels of popcorn remain on the ground. #### 150

Think about the magnetic force between the magnets in each pair. Which of the following statements is true?
[ "The magnitude of the magnetic force is the same in both pairs.", "The magnitude of the magnetic force is smaller in Pair 1.", "The magnitude of the magnetic force is smaller in Pair 2." ]
C
The magnets in Pair 1 attract. The magnets in Pair 2 repel. But whether the magnets attract or repel affects only the direction of the magnetic force. It does not affect the magnitude of the magnetic force. Magnet sizes affect the magnitude of the magnetic force. Imagine magnets that are the same shape and made of the same material. The smaller the magnets, the smaller the magnitude of the magnetic force between them. Magnet A is the same size in both pairs. But Magnet B is smaller in Pair 2 than in Pair 1. So, the magnitude of the magnetic force is smaller in Pair 2 than in Pair 1.

How much more does Jessica pay for her expenses over the whole year compared to last year?
null

First find the increase in rent by multiplying last year's rent by 30%: $1000 * .3 = $<<1000*.3=300>>300 Then find the food cost increase by multiplying last year's costs by 50%: $200 * .5 = $<<200*.5=100>>100 Then find the new car insurance price by multiplying last year's price by 3: $100 * 3 = $<<100*3=300>>300 Then subtract the cost of car insurance last year from this year's price to find the increase: $300 - $100 = $<<300-100=200>>200 Now find how much Jessica's monthly expenses increased by adding the increases in each of the three costs: $300 + $100 + $200 = $<<300+100+200=600>>600 Now multiply the increase per month by the number of months in a year to find the annual increase: $600/month * 12 months/year = $<<600*12=7200>>7200/year #### 7200

Based on this information, what is Frankie's phenotype for the fur length trait?
[ "long fur", "short fur" ]
A
Frankie's genotype for the fur length gene is ff. Frankie's genotype of ff has only f alleles. The f allele is for long fur. So, Frankie's phenotype for the fur length trait must be long fur. To check this answer, consider whether Frankie's alleles are dominant or recessive. The allele for short fur (F) is dominant over the allele for long fur (f). This means F is a dominant allele, and f is a recessive allele. Frankie's genotype of ff has only recessive alleles. An organism with only recessive alleles for a gene will have the recessive allele's version of the trait. So, Frankie's phenotype for the fur length trait must be long fur.

Susy goes to a large school with 800 students, while Sarah goes to a smaller school with only 300 students. At the start of the school year, Susy had 100 social media followers. She gained 40 new followers in the first week of the school year, half that in the second week, and half of that in the third week. Sarah only had 50 social media followers at the start of the year, but she gained 90 new followers the first week, a third of that in the second week, and a third of that in the third week. After three weeks, how many social media followers did the girl with the most total followers have?
null
180
After one week, Susy has 100+40 = <<100+40=140>>140 followers. In the second week, Susy gains 40/2 = <<40/2=20>>20 new followers. In the third week, Susy gains 20/2 = <<20/2=10>>10 new followers. In total, Susy finishes the three weeks with 140+20+10 = <<140+20+10=170>>170 total followers. After one week, Sarah has 50+90 = <<50+90=140>>140 followers. After the second week, Sarah gains 90/3 = <<90/3=30>>30 followers. After the third week, Sarah gains 30/3 = <<30/3=10>>10 followers. So, Sarah finishes the three weeks with 140+30+10 = <<140+30+10=180>>180 total followers. Thus, Sarah is the girl with the most total followers with a total of 180. #### 180

Select the statement that is true about Sydney's average monthly precipitation.
[ "More precipitation falls in June than in December.", "Each month has about the same amount of precipitation.", "Less precipitation falls in February than in November." ]
A
To describe the average precipitation trends in Sydney, look at the graph. Choice "Feb" is incorrect. Choice "Jun" is incorrect. Choice "Nov" is incorrect. Choice "Dec" is incorrect. Choice "Less precipitation falls in February than in November." is incorrect. The average precipitation in February is higher, not lower, than November. Choice "Each month has about the same amount of precipitation." is incorrect. On average, less precipitation falls between July and December than between January and June. Choice "More precipitation falls in June than in December." is incorrect. June has a higher average monthly precipitation than December.

Complete the statement. Aluminum is ().
[ "a compound", "an elementary substance" ]
B
Use the model to determine whether aluminum is an elementary substance or a compound. Step 1: Interpret the model. In the space-filling model shown above, all of the balls are the same color: . The legend shows that gray represents the chemical element with the atomic symbol Al. So, the model shows you that aluminum is composed of one chemical element. Step 2: Determine whether the substance is an elementary substance or a compound. You know from Step 1 that aluminum is composed of only one chemical element. So, aluminum is an elementary substance.

Based on this information, what is Peanut's phenotype for the body hair trait?
[ "a hairy body", "a hairless body" ]
A
You need to determine Peanut's phenotype for the body hair trait. First, consider the alleles in Peanut's genotype for the body hair gene. Then, decide whether these alleles are dominant or recessive. The allele for a hairless body (b) is recessive to the allele for a hairy body (B). This means B is a dominant allele, and b is a recessive allele. Peanut's genotype of Bb has one dominant allele and one recessive allele. An organism with at least one dominant allele for a gene will have the dominant allele's version of the trait. So, Peanut's phenotype for the body hair trait must be a hairy body.

Compare the average kinetic energies of the particles in each sample. Which sample has the higher temperature?
[ "sample A", "neither; the samples have the same temperature", "sample B" ]
C
The particles in both samples have the same average speed, but each particle in sample B has more mass than each particle in sample A. So, the particles in sample B have a higher average kinetic energy than the particles in sample A. Because the particles in sample B have the higher average kinetic energy, sample B must have the higher temperature.
