April ACT Official Science Thread

<p>@duke, was that in the question?
@UVA no, I got that there would only be vapor. Check my post up top.</p>

<p>metour hit 65 mil YO and it hits every 100 mil so 35 mil year it will hit again</p>

<p>Yah I’m pretty sure in the beginning it said the last meteor hit 65 million years ago. Someone else wanna verify this?</p>

<p>I dont remember seeing that darn it. but still anyone know the awnser to that question about the altitude></p>

<p>Dang, I put 100 million, I didn’t see anything about 65 million. I put more water vapor, but it was just a guess</p>

<p>Yeah I didn’t see 65 million either, was it in the passage or question?</p>

<p>It was in the question if I remember correctly. Does anyone else remember this or did I just imagine it in the question lol</p>

<p>To me the biology didn’t really have a clear purpose, it just touched a bunch of different topics</p>

<p>I put the same results as wiscokid. I feel so stupid for not subtracting the 65 mil or whatever it was. I feel like this science was pretty hard. I’m feeling a big curve (by ACT standards). Prob like -1=36 -2=35 idk. Thoughts?</p>

<p>pretty sure that 65mil wasn’t mentioned although I didn’t read the intro well so if it was in the intro I missed it If you think it was in the question… it wasnt</p>

<p>lol I feel like I’m going insane here, how could I have missed it if it was in the question. I understand if it was in the passage (I didn’t read it lol)</p>

<p>I feel like I’m going insane too but I don’t know how I’d just make up the number 65 million haha</p>

<p>i do remember reading it in the question, but i put 100 mil… i was so invested in figuring out how long it was in relation to the diameter that i forgot about subtracting the 65 million years :-(</p>

<p>for the altitude of the clouds one i looked through the passage multiple times for the answer and it was not there, so i assumed that it would be more ice because that is common sense, the higher up the colder it is.</p>

<p>@JD</p>

<p>for the over 4000 feet question</p>

<p>When you get to higher altitudes, doesnt it get colder so Ice is present?</p>

<p>I thought that because the pressure would be lower as you go higher, there would be more vaporized water. The boiling point of water lowers as pressure decreases.</p>

<p>the pressure goes down and the temperature does too. I said vapor because ice would fall from the sky to the earth whereas the vapor would remain in the sky.</p>

<p>At first I put ice, but then it just didn’t seem right…I mean when you’re flying through in a plane you don’t hit ice. I put water vapor instead</p>

<p>Don’t over think. It’s not ice. They didn’t say a single thing about ice in the passage, it was water vapor.</p>

<p>darn it it was water vapor uhhh! what do you guys think the science curve is</p>
