April 2011 ACT Science Discussion

<p>^ I am in the same boat. Just thinking that somewhere a careless error will ruin my chances of a perfect score makes me very nervous.</p>

<p>what were the choices on that question 37.</p>

<p>Between 1 and 2 years i put for one.</p>

<p>For one of the questions on the volcano section, was more than three years the answer. It was talking about going beneath one degree above average or something like that?</p>

<p>I remember the question you are talking about, I put between 2 and 3 years, but that was just a guess because I ran out of time at the end. Anybody know the right answer?</p>

<p>more than 3 yrs sounds like an answer I put</p>

<p>I know that somewhere along that graph, the temperature deviation came VERY close to one degrees celsius.</p>

<p>I also put more than three years… I used my answer document to draw a straight line and although the temperature deviation was extremely close, I don’t think it touched down to 1.0… </p>

<p>There was a question- I don’t remember the question, but I do remember the answers. The answers were like 1.5 days, 2.0days, 3.5 days…
I remember saying to myself “It’s definitely 2.5 days, but 2.5days isn’t an answer” so I just put down 2.0days.</p>

<p>Can anyone remember this? I don’t even know what passage it was about! :P</p>

<p>i got 17 min after</p>

<p>@Alaskan/JNeemz - The line never dipped below 1*C, so it should be more than 3 years</p>

<p>Yes, it was 17 minutes <em>after</em>. They asked for how much longer it took for the <em>bigger sphere</em>(the line which was on top) to go down to 40º.</p>

<p>the one that was asking about years after the eruption was definitely over 3 years.</p>

<p>i vaguely remember the one that was asking about days, pretty sure i put 3.5 days. anyone remember what the question/right answer was?</p>

<p>there was one with at the given altitude or at the something else altitude anyone remember what im talking about</p>

<p>I put something like 3.5 too.</p>

<p>what exactly was the tabo volcano question
also what did you put for the metal ball experiment for the question that asked followign the procedure in experiment 1, how would you change the temp of the ball before letting it cool - it would have to be dry ice, no? since you already had put it in boiling water</p>

<p>@awesome Didn’t the problem ask how you would heat the balls, not cool them?</p>

<p>idk, CAN YOU DRY ICE SOMETHING TO 100 DEGREES???</p>

<p>i think thats right sbl0323</p>

<p>no im almost positive that it said you put the balls through the procedure in experiment 1, then before letting them cool in air, you want to change their temperature - what should you put the balls in to do that</p>

<p>I hardly remember this section, but I wasted time looking all over for the answer to the ribosome question. I skipped it and when time was ticking down to a minute, I just bubbled it in randomly. So I don’t know what I put.</p>

<p>Well, you wouldn’t deep freeze the balls then let the cool again to a higher temp, so it has to be heating. And since molten aluminum is like ***, it has to be boiling water.</p>
