Question 1 of 5
Convert 2751.4 g to mg.
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: To convert grams to milligrams, you multiply by 1000. So, 2751.4 g * 1000 = 2751.4 mg. Therefore, choice C (275.14 mg) is correct. Choice A is incorrect as it incorrectly moves the decimal point. Choice B is incorrect as it doesn't account for the conversion factor. Choice D is incorrect as it incorrectly uses scientific notation.
Question 2 of 5
Convert 4 lb to g. (1 lb = 6 g)
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: To convert 4 lb to g, we use the conversion factor provided: 1 lb = 6 g. 1. Multiply 4 lb by 6 g/lb: 4 lb * 6 g/lb = 24 g. 2. Since the question asks for the answer in grams, the correct conversion is 24 g. Therefore, the correct answer is C (7.58 x 10^4 g). Other choices are incorrect because they do not correctly apply the conversion factor or provide the accurate conversion from pounds to grams.
Question 3 of 5
The density of liquid mercury is 6 g/mL. What is its density in units of ? (54 cm = 1 in., 205 lb = 1 kg)
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: To find the density of liquid mercury in units of g/cm³, we need to convert the density from g/mL to g/cm³. The conversion factor is 1 mL = 1 cm³. Given the density of mercury as 6 g/mL, it is equivalent to 6 g/cm³. Therefore, the correct answer is 1.01 x 10¹ g/cm³ (choice C). Choice A: 1.57 x 10² is too large for the density of liquid mercury. Choice B: 4.91 x 10¹ is incorrect as it does not match the calculated density. Choice D: 7.62 x 10² is significantly higher than the actual density of liquid mercury.
Question 4 of 5
In March 2008, gold reached a milestone value of $1000 per troy ounce. At that price, what was the cost of a gram of gold? (1 troy ounce = 10 g)
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: To find the cost of a gram of gold at $1000 per troy ounce, we divide $1000 by 10 (since 1 troy ounce = 10g). This gives us $100 per gram. Therefore, the correct answer is C: between $10 and $50. Option A is incorrect as it is less than $1, option B is incorrect as it is between $1 and $10, and option D is incorrect as it is between $50 and $100.
Question 5 of 5
During a physics experiment, an electron is accelerated to 93 percent of the speed of light. What is the speed of the electron in miles per hour? (speed of light = 00 108 m/s, 1 km = 6214 mi)
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: 6.7 x 10^8 mi/h. To calculate the speed of the electron in miles per hour, we first convert the speed of light from m/s to mi/h using the conversion factor 1 km = 6214 mi. The speed of light is approximately 6.71 x 10^8 mi/h. Since the electron is at 93% of the speed of light, we multiply the speed of light by 0.93 to get the speed of the electron, which is approximately 6.25 x 10^8 mi/h. The closest choice is C: 6.7 x 10^8 mi/h. Choice A: 2.8 x 10^8 mi/h - This is incorrect as it is too low compared to the calculated speed. Choice B: 6.2 x 10^11 mi/h - This is incorrect as it is too high compared to the calculated speed. Choice
