Question: 31

1. If an object with an initial temperature of 300 K increases its temperature by 1°C every minute, by how many degrees Fahrenheit will its temperature have increased in 10 minutes?

  • A. 6°F
  • B. 10°F
  • C. 18°F
  • D. 30°C

Correct Answer: C

Explanation:

The kelvin unit and Celsius degree are the same size; that is, a change of 10 K is equal to a change of 10°C. One degree Celsius is equal to 1.8 degrees Fahrenheit; therefore, 10°C = 18°F.
