What do these two changes have in common? shaking up salad dressing mixing sand and gravel
[ "Both are chemical changes.", "Both are only physical changes.", "Both are caused by heating.", "Both are caused by cooling." ]
B
Step 1: Think about each change. Shaking up salad dressing is a physical change. The different parts mix together, but they are still made of the same type of matter. Mixing sand and gravel is a physical change. Together, the sand and gravel make a mixture. But making this mixture does not form a different type of matter. Step 2: Look at each answer choice. Both are only physical changes. Both changes are physical changes. No new matter is created. Both are chemical changes. Both changes are physical changes. They are not chemical changes. Both are caused by heating. Neither change is caused by heating. Both are caused by cooling. Neither change is caused by cooling.

Some friends wanted to make a road trip from New York to Los Angeles. They drove at a constant speed of 62 miles/hour, taking breaks of 30 minutes every 5 hours. Once in the city, they looked for the hotel for 30 minutes. If the trip took around 2,790 miles, how many hours will they have to spend to complete the trip to the hotel?
null

At a constant speed of 62 miles/hour, they will drive 2,790 miles / 62 miles/hour = <<2790/62=45>>45 hours in total. Every 5 hours they take a break, they will take 45 hours / 5 hours/break = <<45/5=9>>9 breaks. Those breaks will be 9 breaks x 30 minutes/break = <<9*30=270>>270 minutes in total. In hours, the breaks will be in total 270 minutes ÷ 60 minutes/hour = <<270/60=4.5>>4.5 hours To find the hotel it took them 30 minutes ÷ 60 minutes/hour = <<30/60=0.5>>0.5 hours In total, it will take 45 hours + 4.5 hours + 0.5 hours = <<45+4.5+0.5=50>>50 hours to complete the trip. #### 50

To celebrate a recent promotion, Arthur decided to treat himself to dinner at a nice restaurant. He ordered a nice appetizer for $8, a delicious ribeye steak for his entrée at $20, had two glasses of nice red wine with dinner for $3 each, and a slice of caramel cheesecake for dessert for $6. He used a voucher for half off the price of his entrée, but he very thoughtfully tipped his waitress a full 20% of what the full cost of his meal would have been without the discount. How much, including the tip, did Arthur spend on dinner?

The cost of his food, before the voucher, was $8 + $20 + $3 + $3 + $6 = $<<8+20+3+3+6=40>>40. The tip was $40 * .20 = $<<40*.20=8>>8. The voucher saved him $20 / 2 = $<<20/2=10>>10. So the full price of Arthur's meal, with tip, was $40 - $10 + 8 = $<<40-10+8=38>>38. #### 38

In this food web, which organism contains matter that eventually moves to the bolete fungus?
[ "black racer", "black bear" ]
A
Use the arrows to follow how matter moves through this food web. For each answer choice, try to find a path of arrows to the bolete fungus.There is one path matter can take from the black racer to the bolete fungus: black racer->bolete fungus. There are three paths matter can take from the pine vole to the bolete fungus: pine vole->gray fox->bolete fungus. pine vole->gray fox->bobcat->bolete fungus. pine vole->black racer->bolete fungus. black bear. The only arrow pointing from the black bear leads to the parasol fungus. No arrows point from the parasol fungus to any other organisms. So, in this food web, matter does not move from the black bear to the bolete fungus.. There is one path matter can take from the silver maple to the bolete fungus: silver maple->beaver->bobcat->bolete fungus. There are five paths matter can take from the swallowtail caterpillar to the bolete fungus: swallowtail caterpillar->gray fox->bolete fungus. swallowtail caterpillar->gray fox->bobcat->bolete fungus. swallowtail caterpillar->pine vole->gray fox->bolete fungus. swallowtail caterpillar->pine vole->gray fox->bobcat->bolete fungus. swallowtail caterpillar->pine vole->black racer->bolete fungus.

What do these two changes have in common? ice crystals forming on a window water freezing into ice
[ "Both are caused by cooling.", "Both are caused by heating.", "Both are chemical changes." ]
A
Step 1: Think about each change. Ice crystals forming on a window is a change of state. So, it is a physical change. Water vapor in the air can change directly into ice when it touches a very cold window! A change of state from a gas to a solid is called depositing. Water freezing into ice is a change of state. So, it is a physical change. The water changes from solid to liquid. But the ice is still made of the same type of matter as the liquid water. Step 2: Look at each answer choice. Both are only physical changes. Both changes are physical changes. No new matter is created. Both are chemical changes. Both changes are physical changes. They are not chemical changes. Both are caused by heating. Neither change is caused by heating. Both are caused by cooling. Both changes are caused by cooling.

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 smaller in Pair 2.", "The magnitude of the magnetic force is the same in both pairs.", "The magnitude of the magnetic force is smaller in Pair 1." ]
C
Distance affects the magnitude of the magnetic force. When there is a greater distance between magnets, the magnitude of the magnetic force between them is smaller. There is a greater distance between the magnets in Pair 1 than in Pair 2. So, the magnitude of the magnetic force is smaller in Pair 1 than in Pair 2.

Jo-Bob hopped into the hot air balloon, released the anchor rope, and pulled on the lift chain, which ignited the flame and provided the warm air that caused the balloon to rise. When the lift chain was pulled, the balloon would rise at a rate of 50 feet per minute. But when the chain was not being pulled, the balloon would slowly descend at a rate of 10 feet per minute. During his balloon ride, he pulled the chain for 15 minutes, then released the rope for 10 minutes, then pulled the chain for another 15 minutes, and finally released the chain and allowed the balloon to slowly descend back to the earth. During his balloon ride, what was the highest elevation reached by the balloon?
null
1400
The first 15-minute chain pull caused the balloon to rise 50*15=<<50*15=750>>750 feet. Releasing the chain for 10 minutes caused the balloon to descend 10*10=<<10*10=100>>100 feet. The second 15-minute chain pull caused the balloon to rise another 50*15=<<50*15=750>>750 feet. Thus, at the end of the second chain pull, when the balloon was at its highest elevation, the balloon had risen to an elevation of 750-100+750=<<750-100+750=1400>>1400 feet above the earth's surface. #### 1400

Think about the magnetic force between the magnets in each pair. Which of the following statements is true?
[ "The magnetic force is stronger in Pair 2.", "The strength of the magnetic force is the same in both pairs.", "The magnetic force is stronger in Pair 1." ]
C
Distance affects the strength of the magnetic force. When magnets are closer together, the magnetic force between them is stronger. The magnets in Pair 1 are closer together than the magnets in Pair 2. So, the magnetic force is stronger in Pair 1 than in Pair 2.

Compare the motion of three ducks. Which duck was moving at the lowest speed?
[ "a duck that moved 310kilometers north in 5hours", "a duck that moved 365kilometers south in 5hours", "a duck that moved 425kilometers west in 5hours" ]
A
Look at the distance each duck moved and the time it took to move that distance. The direction each duck moved does not affect its speed. Notice that each duck moved for 5 hours. The duck that moved 310 kilometers moved the shortest distance in that time. So, that duck must have moved at the lowest speed.

If there were 26 pink hard hats and Carl took away 4 pink hard hats, the number of pink hard hats that remained is 26-4 = <<26-4=22>>22 John also took away 6 pink hard hats, leaving 22-6 = <<22-6=16>>16 pink hard hats in the truck. If John also took twice as many green hard hats as pink hard hats, he took 2*6 = <<6*2=12>>12 green hard hats. The total number of green hard hats that remained in the truck is 15-12 = <<15-12=3>>3 In the truck, after some are taken, there were 3 green hard hats + 16 pink hard hats = <<3+16=19>>19 hard hats in the truck. Altogether, 19 green and pink hard hats + 24 yellow hards hats = <<19+24=43>>43 hard hats remained in the truck #### 43
