June ACT Science Section

<p>What the hell! No opposing viewpoints! I was waiting for it … and then I got to the end … I was like … ohhh … This one felt hard towards the end because i was slow.</p>

<p>edit: the end was kinda fighting scientists, but it was just meh not the traditional kind.</p>

<p>@Vapperss - I put only #3 was right because he was the only one to say they would reach the same height</p>

<p>for the two questions where it asked about the students, i got “student 3 only” for both</p>

<p>Hey did you guys get a lot of As on the second to the last column?</p>

<p>ya that what I figured :D</p>

<p>@loveny i got a’s and b’s</p>

<p>What was the answer to the “would the superconductive metal produce heat”. It was like the last question on that section. And if you know the answer, can you explain?</p>

<p>haha more A’s than B’s or the other way around because I guessed a lot on the second to last passage? Thanks</p>

<p>@salsa - Apparently it’s no heat because R = 0. I thought that since R = 0 there was heat so I can’t explain it.</p>

<p>Current traveling through the wire is lost as heat if there is resistance. If there is no resistance, there is no heat lost.</p>

<p>I wasn’t sure since it seemed like on a question it said what would be the best superconductivity and since k=2, 6, and 88? were good answers I put 88 cuz you couldn’t distinguish between the 2 and 6 </p>

<p>I really don’t remembery lol</p>

<p>Did anyone else get alot of B’s in a row?
And the electric current one with the 88k’s or whatever was brutal.</p>

<p>so i personally suck at science and analyzing graphs, so this was probably the hardest standardized test ive ever taken :/</p>

<p>can anyone explain to me what the hell Table 1 meant for the superconductive metal with zero resistance? It had temperatures down the side and then 1, 2, 3, etc. across the top and then values in the middle. did not even know what any of those numbers meant or how they were gotten. BOMBED that.</p>

<p>@zach12. That’s what I put too. It’s seems like superconductive metals (where R=0) would transfer heat more readily.</p>

<p>the temps up and down went by 10’s and side to side was increasing by one. so, for example, 52 would be down 10 and over 2 to find the voltage for 52K.</p>

<p>^ Yeah, and even if you didn’t understand the table there were asterisks on the first two rows explaining what it meant.</p>

<p>it simply ment that you go to the top for the next number
there was a key that explained this (6.80 and 6.81?)</p>

<p>its just like using a S.D. from a normal curve % population stuff</p>

<p>ex: 1.9
you go down to the row with 1 in it and then follow the top guide for the column with 9 in it.</p>

<p>@zach oh yeah, i’m pretty sure one of the questions dealt directly with one of the asterisks. it helped me, at least. do you remember a question like that?</p>

<p>^hahah ****, i didnt realize that! i thought the #s at the top were like indicating the different trials…but nonetheless, the answers were all pretty much in the same range for each row, so i dont think itll really make too much of a difference.</p>

<p>wow i suck at life. thank you.</p>
