Question

Juliana is studying the effects of chemical composition on temperature change. She has a table of temperature data that were collected by a local weather station. Which unit conversion is she most likely to do to use the data?

Answer 1

Answer: Shes most likely to use degrees Fahrenheit to degrees Celsius

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Hello!

She is most likely to convert Degrees Fahrenheit (°F) to Kelvin (K) or Degrees Fahrenheit (°F) to Degrees Celsius (°C).

Why?

Scientific data must be reported using the International System of Units (SI). In that system the units used to report temperature are

• Kelvin (K): Base Unit
• Degrees Celsius (°C): Derived Unit

A local weather station in a country that uses the imperial system such as the USA, is very likely to report temperature using Degrees Fahrenheit (°F), so Juliana would need to convert the temperatures from °F to K or °C.

To convert from °F to K:

`K=[(5)/(9) (^\circ F-32)]+273.15`

To convert from °F to °C

`K=(5)/(9) (^\circ F-32)`

Have a nice day!
