You Americans and your ridiculous measuring tecniques.

273.15 C

Might as well go ahead and explain this. The fact is heat is a measurement of energy. (Coldness is a lack of heat). So therefore while 0 deg C is freezing for water there is still quite a bit of energy there. So therefore we must use a scale whose 0 point is at Absolute 0 (where all molecular activity stops, READ: No energy is present) and that scale is Kelvin. Kelvin and C are 273 degrees apart. Shown by absolute 0 on C being -273 deg and it being 0 on K. 1 degree is the same size in these two scales. So to get what temp would be twice as hot you have to convert to K first then back to C.

0 deg C is about 273 K 0 + 273 = 273
Multiply the deg K by 2 then subtract 273
(273 * 2) - 273 = 273 and that's deg C since we subtracted 273 to get back from K.

Therefore 40 deg C is not twice as hot as 20 deg C
20 + 273 = 293 * 2 = 586 - 273 = 313

So for a place to be twice as hot as 20 deg C it has to be 313 deg C. A quicker way to figure this out would be to take temp in deg C multiply it by 2 and add 273 and you'll get the correct answer.
20 * 2 = 40 + 273 = 313

actually my kid was doing that very same qeustion thingy in school last week and i had to run and dig thru his backpack to find the paper
your psychic

Lol it's funny he's doing this at that age heh.

What grade is he in?

[fishki]

Lol it's funny he's doing this at that age heh.

they have him doing alot of advanced math stuff , last year he had the highest test scores in the state, when he was in 2nd grade they wanted to advance him a grade, but i said no cause i didnt want him outta his age range. But i have always excelleld in math and it seems he is the same, i had him working on square and cubed roots in first grade (just to see if he could grasp it), and by second grade he was doing pre algebra ....sometimes i wonder if i should have just left him alone to do it at his own pace. But no matter, im still very proud of him.

5th grade doing 7th and 8th grade work

[MichaelVash7886]

He does know his math then lol. I was thinking this would be a good example for middle schoolers when I sub and they were bored in science or something, Maybe I can do it if they understand heat is energy, but who knows.

I think some kids can grasp just about anything, they might not quite understand it completely, but i pushed my kid just to challenge him cause he was alwys bored and he took it and ran. What sucks is i will prolly never be able to ground him for bad grades, his lowest GPA was 3.8, that was because i didnt sign his assignment log and he was graded on it.( i got in trouble at a parent teacher conf fo that one.) But he has always been on the honor roll and usually has a 4.0

[WHO_99]

Ugh damn I wish I ad that type of work ethic Lol i suck in school and the worst part is tjatni probably can't be a doctor with my grades lol

Fish turned him into a robot....

yeah we Americans like the number 2, cause its a prime number, and im not sure about your planet but on our planet water boils at 212 degrees and freezes at 32 degrees which also has the number 3 in it which is also a prime number, now the temp at which water boils has the number 1 in it also which is argueably a prime number also since the definition of a prime number is a natural number which has exactly two distinct natural number divisors, 1 and itself.

Answer your question?

I gotta pay more attn in Math in Science

Same.

[twistedblister]

cant belive i missed this one.

i like the simpons take on this. it had grandpa simpson screaming somthing about animals and bizare weights to the obscurly cryptic volume of gas

Fish’s little fishy is a genius

fish, theres already a damn topic about it made just for you. Lets get this one back on topic. Why do you americans eat so many cheeseburgers? Also, is anyone on this board fat?

IDK. I'm skinny.
