​@Patrik6920 great context, thank you for the additional info

[@Quizzes4U]

@@Patrik6920 Thanks for commenting. Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object. There are many references to this. The hottest part of the sun is definitely the core, again, many references. The Earth's tilt causes the seasons, it has nothing to do with the orbit. This can be confirmed by the fact that it is closest to the sun in January, yet it is winter in the Northern Hemisphere in January. Again there are many references that confirm it is due to the tilt. Anyway, thanks for commenting, its always great to discuss these things.

[@KenFullman]

I have to be pedantic about Q60. "What happens to the speed of light when it travels through water?" Now you say "it slows down" but that's not right. Light travels at a constant speed through water. That constant speed is slower than when travelling through a vaccuum or the air, but while it's travelling through the water it is still travelling at a constant speed. Now even if you'd said "What happens to the speed of light as it ENTERS water?" You'd have been closer to correct but still not quite right because it depends what medium the light is entering the water FROM. If light was to enter water from a diamond, it would actually speed up.

[@johnryan6658]

​@@Patrik6920 You are wrong about the sun. The sun's corona is only 1 million °C. The core of the sun is 15 million °C. I think that you are thinking of the photosphere, which is only about 5,500 °C.

Q47: no, convection is not the "explanation" for why hot air rises and cold air sinks, it is the description of that phenomenon. The "explanation" is buoyancy, arising from changes in density due to changes in temperature.

[@eracer1111]

Yes, but it was the best of the three choices.

[@Berend-ov8of]

@@eracer1111 Nope, it is not. The choice that comes closest to explaining why, is actually Archimed's principle. It is the only choice that incorporates buoyancy, which is what causes hot air to rise and cold air to sink.

[@Berend-ov8of]

Convection is merely a description of the way to transport heat by storing it in a fluid and then displace the fluid, regardless of direction or power source for that displacement. It's the working of thermals that explains specifically the flow of hot air through cold air and vice versa.

[@WeeWyllie]

Convection is exactly the term for what is happening. 😊

I agree, the convection is the phenomena due to Archimed's principle. Something most push up the hot air and it's cold air because more density than hot air. That how work Archimed's principle.

[@frieden6298]

[@_Diana_S]

№47 is not correct either. The reason for hot air rising is that it is not as dense as cold air. Cold air is denser (i.e. heavier per volume unit) and dense liquids, gases tend to drift lower, pushing other liquids/gases, up. So the reason is "different density". "Convection" is a consequence of this process.

[@evil17]

Your argument sounds fair & I had to think about this one for a bit, because isn’t “Cold” a term we have given to a body that lacks relative heat, ie: there is no such thing as cold, just a lack of heat. A heated substance will have more energy and tend to rise and causes motion even at an atomic level, heat causes more motion (heat is a body/or energy that is in constant motion) & so a convection of currents can/will occur as the heat continues to move from a warmer body to a cooler body until it reaches an equilibrium. Hot water system can be interesting in this way, thats a solar HW system will have it’s tank above the solar collector panels so the cooler water circulates by convection to the panels for heating which creates a convection cycle, whereas a electric HW system tank will introduce the cold water (usually) down low of the tank as the hot water exits the upper tank level & there will be a definite line where the cold and hot water is until it reheats the whole tank again by way of a heating element down low which will cause a convection of currents to heat the whole tank, but what happens if the heating element blows while the tank is half hot & half cold & left that way with no water in or out, without a pump to move the water inside the heat would slowly move down to the lower cooler water, but this would take some time and I dont know if it could be called convection in such an instance where the cooler water is just slowly absorbing the heat from the hotter water source above it and not really setting up a convection of currents. IDK just guessing.

[@mehdimarashi1736]

@@evil17 "A heated substance will have more energy and tend to rise and causes motion even at an atomic level, heat causes more motion" Be very careful here, the heated air rises only because it has a lower density. The warm air body "floats" in the ocean of cold air and rises up, because its weigh is less than the Archimedes' force exerted on it by the ocean of the cold air. Heat is motion, motion is not heat. The energy of rising hot air (upward velocity) is kinetic energy, not heat. "a convection of currents can/will occur as the heat continues to move from a warmer body to a cooler body until it reaches an equilibrium." Most heat transfer between the hot and cold air "bodies" happens because of these bodies mixing together on the boundaries. It is hard to talk about a "body" that does not have a well defined boundary. Another thing to consider: if the warm air body is above the cold body, there is no reason for any movement, so, while the heat transfer is in progress from the warm to the cold body, no movement happens and there is no convection. So, it's not the temperature difference that causes the convection. It's the difference in the specific weight of the bodies, which makes the lighter body to float in the denser fluid.

number 10: 1. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter, not a hormone. 2. Dopamine doesn't control happiness, that's more seretonin. The reason it is thought of as a happy neurotransmitter is because of the reward pathway system, which is based on dopamine, and when activated, can make you feel happy. But dopamine release does not necessarily make you happy. It's a complex system not quite fully known.

[@marcochimio]

Actually, it's both. Outside the brain, dopamine does, in fact, fit the definition of hormone. It is released by the adrenal glands and has several physiological roles, though not necessarily in the "happiness" realm..

92/100. I disagree that it's composition that distinguishes asteroids from comets, virtually all of the asteroids in the outer solar system - the Trojans, Kuiper belt objects, are largely composed of ices, and would be comets if in highly elliptical orbits that entered the inner solar system.

[@rogerarnold5627]

There was a recent science news item about the difference between between asteroids and comets. The thinking is tilting to the view that asteroids and comets are pretty much the same, in terms of their compositions at the time the solar system was forming. But asteroids were in closer orbits, and most of their volatile components -- ice and frozen gasses -- have been driven off over the eons. Also, orbiting in the much more crowded inner parts of the solar system, they've been subject to reforming by collisions and agglomeration. But there's been found to be a continuum of objects between "typical asteroid" and "typical comet". So it's their orbit that distinguishes them in a more fundamental sense than composition. Although their orbit does affect their composition over time.

[@andrewworth7574]

@rogerarnold5627 I suspect that the line of reasoning that leads to the claim that its composition that counts rather than orbit is: What makes a comet a comet? It has volatiles that produce the coma and tail, an asteroid in the same orbit doesn't have the coma and tail because it has few volatiles, therefore the difference between a comet and asteroid is the composition. The problem with that reasoning is that it eliminates from consideration all the volatile containing asteroids not in the orbits that make any volatiles sublimate.

@@mauricearpin7946 The Asteroid-Comet Continuum: In Search of Lost Primitivity By Matthieu Gounelle "Recent results from the Stardust comet sample-return mission have confirmed the idea that there is a continuum between primitive small bodies in the outer main asteroid belt and comets. Indeed, the mineralogy as well as the chemical and oxygen isotope compositions of the dust from comet Wild 2 are very similar to those of carbonaceous chondrites, a class of meteorites allegedly derived from primitive, dark asteroids. Comets no longer represent extremely primitive samples of the early Solar System that are radically different from dark asteroids. We enter a new era in which comets and their siblings, the dark asteroids, are seen as a collection of individual objects whose geology can be studied"

Number 47 annoyed me convection isn't why hot air rises it's a result of hot air rising. It rises due to being less dense than the surroundings so experiences an upthrust greater than it's weight

[@CG-601]

The density deviation is caused by convection. The heat tranfer of particles is the cause.

[@rat7570]

There are a bunch of processes that cause air rising and falling. So it's probably wrong to only give credit to density. If it was only density - then we would've had all of our gases into layers, instead of meshed up together.

78/100 “What happens to the speed of light in water?”’Slows down” is a bit debatable. If by light you mean a beam of light, it refracts (and so appears to slow down). However, “speed of light“ i.e. speed of a photon or speed of an electromagnetic wave is a universal constant.

[@Quizzes4U]

Thanks for commenting. It wasn't meant to be that complicated, it's just a short simple question. Yes, the speed of light in a vacuum, referred to as c, is a constant. Mediums such as air or water slow light. But of course it's much more complicated than that, but there's not the scope in a short quiz question to define all the variations.

5. "What is the branch of physics that deals with the behavior of objects at very low temperatures?" A. Cryogenics B. Quantum mechanics C. Thermodynamics It's all three, by definition. Obviously the "very low temperatures" bit was meant to guide people to answer Cryogenics, and if you get literal enough the other two branches don't deal exclusively with cold temperatures, but the whole reason of studying the behavior of objects at very low temperatures involves quantum mechanics (e.g. Bose-Einstein condensates), and you literally can't do low-temperature physics without considering thermodynamics.

It's more a vocabulary quiz about science than a science quiz, but it was fun and interesting anyway, thanks!

[@signebrummerstedt9205]

Great quiz, but eeeh, compounds that contain carbon aren’t necessarily called organic compounds… like graphite (the thermodynamical most stable) is most definitely an inorganic and the same is diamond which is also pure carbon. Organics will have hydrogen at least other than carbon, and often also oxygen, nitrogen, sulphur and/or halides

[@Quizzes4U]

Thanks for commenting. Maybe it's the way I worded it or how you read it. All organic compounds contain carbon compounds. That is what was meant by it. I will word it better if I use that question again sometime. It is a challenge of making short questions that cannot be interpreted in different ways. Thanks again for commenting , you are right, it should have been worded better. 😁

[@yowser8780]

Heh... Chemist vs BioChemist !@@Quizzes4U

[@jrussellmercer]

The key word here is "compounds." Graphite and diamond are allotropes of carbon, which itself is an element not a compound

[@williambavington5392]

@@Quizzes4U Yes. If you had asked it the other way round it would be correct. i.e. Q. What element do all organic compounds contain? - A. Carbon. The problem is that the various metal carbonates are all classified under the 'Inorganic' section in chemistry textbooks.

[@Don.Challenger]

I'll quibble with three: convection is the dynamic process, while Archimedes' principle, differential buoyancy, is the mechanism; light slows at the transition to water from vacuum or air, once within a medium it travels at the speed of light for that medium; and I'd say that an ice object or stony/metallic object can sit happily in a more or less circular orbit (low eccentricity) until some destabilizing interaction launches it towards fair 'helios' where the icy object (maybe sandy dune) grows its characteristic cometary plume(s).

Great quiz, as always, but the speed of light doesn't slow down while passing through water. A photon travels at the speed of light between its interactions with water molecules.

[@Quizzes4U]

Glad you enjoyed it. The commonly held view is that light does slow down in water (ref. The refractive index of light is 25% slower when it moves through water), however after further reading on the subject, a more correct answer would be that it "appears" to slow down.

[@quaddawg]

That's accurate! Semantics I suppose, as it takes longer to detect a light source through a body of water than a body of, say, air.

[@DrDeuteron]

⁠@@Quizzes4Uslows down is completely fine, esp. if you think maxwells equations in media are good and they are. Any reference to a photons is suspect, since a light wave doesn’t even have a fixed number of photons (see Glauber state), and single photon slows down and the speeds back up on the exit….but is you say it’s moving at c but interfering with phase shifted versions of itself, then is it really the same photon, or a coherent copy of the original? idk, why get into quantum mechanics…just say it slows down, or not. If you look at it classically with jefimenkos equation, then a wave doesn’t have an identity, it’s just an emergent phenomenon related to charges and currents😊 in the pas lightcone…so agin, it’s coherent new wave. Idk…bosons be like that.

[@guypanton8341]

Even putting the details aside, it isn’t the speed of light (c) that slows down. That was the bit that stumped me; I thought it was a sort of trick question.

[@romanpolak3239]

Questions no. 47 is worded wrong. Convection IS the movement of fluids due to different properties, like density. It doesn't explain why it happens. Archimedes explains that warm air, being less dense as it expanded, rises above colder, denser air because it displaces more volume per unit of mass.

[@nicholasharvey1232]

I guessed Archimedes on this as well. I knew Archimedes had a law of buoyancy, and warm air rising above cooler air IS an example of buoyancy, because the warm air is less dense. Just as something less dense than water (or other fluid) will float to the top.

[@IllyaLeonovMorganFreepony]

Spot on mate. I was gonna say the same thing

[@Quizzes4U]

Thanks for the feedback. Yes, with hindsight I could have worded it better. It's always difficult when trying to keep the questions short.

[@BillySugger1965]

Convection is the name of the process by which warm air rises by virtue of its greater buoyancy than the surrounding cooler, denser air. Convection is the correct answer.

[@maevarobert3367]

A multi choice quiz has very little to do with intelligence , it's more to do with what you read and remember. I used to know a neighbour of mine years ago who was a very smart Lawyer . He knew his job very very well but he was a mechanical dunce who knew nothing about anything practical , mechanical, science . He owned a car and had it for 3 years and had never opened the hood or knew how . He could not name any of the parts of a car . But you would take a beating if you met him in a Court of Law !!

"What is the term for the amount of matter in an object?". It is neither volume, density or mass. This is easy to see since you can imagine a pair of objects, one of which contains more atoms, yet the other one has more volume/density/mass. The term you are asking for is simply "amount" and is measured in mol.

[@robynreed6368]

Look up almost any physics or chemistry book to see the definition of mass and it will be given as the amount of matter in something.

[@TheOneMaddin]

@@robynreed6368 What's that? An argument from authority? It is still wrong unless you attack my statement via its content. Wikipedia by the way is sophisticated enough to write "Mass is an intrinsic property of a body. It was traditionally believed to be related to the quantity of matter in a body, until the discovery of the atom and particle physics."

[@thephilosophicalagnostic2177]

I guess you could say mass, because mass effectively conveys the sense of it--how many subatomic particles are in the object. You don't want to say how many atoms because atoms of different elements have different numbers of subatomic particles.

[@pault151]

I would argue that while moles describe the number of nuclei, the amount of matter is more likely described as what affects space-time more / has greater gravity, which we measure as mass.

[@StephanieEverhart-v9r]

The amount of matter is measured in mass. 1 mol of carbon (12 grams) has a different mass than 1 mol of sodium (23 grams). This is because sodium has more matter (protons, neutrons, and electrons) than does carbon. Mass truly is measuring the amount of matter - protons, neutrons, and electrons that make up the atoms.

Q38 - I think the term "powerhouse" is too general and ambiguous, so that "nucleus" would also have been a correct answer. Even though mitochondria are often referred to as the "powerhouse" of the cell, this is not a strictly scientific definition. It would have been clearer to have asked "what part or parts of a cell generate the energy needed to power the cell?" rather than relying on people getting the right meaning of the word "powerhouse".

[@NotKnafo]

light always travel in the speed of light

[@williambavington5392]

Only in a vacuum is it at the speed of light in vacuo quoted in all the textbooks. The speed of light depends upon the electric permittivity (epsilon) and magnetic permeability (mu) of the medium it is travelling in. c = 1/sqrt(epsilon times mu) You can derive that from Maxwell's equations of electromagnetism so light always travels more slowly in any medium than in a vacuum. Even in air is travels about 1% slower if I remember correctly.
