December 2010 ACT Science Discussion

<p>Discuss all Science questions here after the test tomorrow. Good luck! :)</p>

<p>Science was so much easier than I thought it’d be this time. I felt confident about all of my answers, and there weren’t any trick questions or anything this time.</p>

<p>What’d you guys think?</p>

<p>pretty sure i bombed this one.</p>

<p>I thought science was easier this time, I hope my score improves :)</p>

<p>^granted that everything that showed up today I was familiar with (or had studied before), so I didn’t have to waste time reading the introductions.</p>

<p>I ran out of time on the last five questions (and this material that I ran out of time on I actually KNEW how to do!) ARRRGGH!! It was incredibly frustrating.</p>

<p>You should have done the four studnets one first and the rest after. That took so much stress off me.</p>

<p>Does anyone know about that one regarding Mars, like whether Student 1’s opinion displayed erosion or metamorphesis or whatever</p>

<p>Metamorphosis was the correct answer since a rock was being transformed into a different rock because of heavy pressure or extreme heat.</p>

<p>I put erosion. And yeah I didn’t finish. Not by a LONG shot. So I guessed a lot . But I did get most of the ones I got to actually got to do right … I think. Is the Science factored as much as the other sections for the ACT? Or at least do you get an English, Reading, and math composite or Math and reading composite?</p>

<p>What about the question with the Violet color and orange color, I ended up putting the second answer, but dont remember what it was.</p>

<p>I put something like the blue is stronger at 670nm and orange and then yelllow is stronger at violet at 400 something nm.</p>

<p>^what i had.</p>

<p>^ do you remember what answer choice that was.</p>

<p>The whole violet/orange thing I didn’t even understand. Like, I didn’t know what I was being asked. (But, by this point of the test, I was just exasperated and grasping for stuff). </p>

<p>@MaydayParade, I think I got the same answer as you.</p>

<p>… I think I bombed this section. I couldn’t finish in time.
Completely lost it. Had to guess on a majority of these towards the end :expressionless:
Timing is my worst enemy -_- I did not like the sphere one with the coulombs and ahhhh!
The only section I kind of liked was the last one involving chemisty.</p>

<p>one of the answers I had was like , “The potential energy of the pole? increased because something is twisted.” Is that what you have ?</p>

<p>Well, since I was confident about my answers, I’ll list out whatever I can remember (NOTE: These may not be right answers, it’s just what I think, but I’m pretty sure most of them are right):</p>

<p>-Metamorphosis for the rock one
-Which things did not start at PT P for 35 sec? 3, 4 and 5
-What was the speed closests to? 4.0 m/s
-Pupa changed into adults
-Atoms of X was Iodine (I)
-Carboxylic acid with flourine atom would be even more acidic since the general trend was that the more electronegative the atoms are, the more acidic the molecule is

  • 22%
  • Gorrid eggs (or something like that?) were the ones who were females with unhatched eggs
    -They kept the egg in the center
    -Student 3 (I think? forgot the #'s) was the one who didn’t think metahne was produced from beneath surface
    -Earthquake results in increase of methane release
    -The graph for # 1 was the exponential + linear one
  • They would move toward each other because opposite charges attract
  • All of the 3 balls were given the same initial charge
  • Blue absorbaed more orange and yellow absorbaed more violet
    -Potential energy increased since torque increased and work was done to it = conservation of energy
    –The green was a mix of blue and yellow
    -One of the things I think was one color didn’t absorb any light at 4 min
    -He didn’t want to get the same frog again so he tagged them because doing so would skew the distribution toward that of that frog’s
    -The hypothesis was supported because the max was at the mean and not the alternative</p>

<p>If I think of more, Ill post of them. Now DISCUSS!</p>

<p>Updated it again</p>

<p>@Joe, I’m pretty sure it was “D” for me</p>
