The temperature of a body is 50 Fahrenheit. Find its temperature in Celsius and Kelvin. Select only one A. T=10C and 283K B. T=20C and 300K C. T=15C and 290K D. T=10C and 390K
Answer
A
Step-by-Step Solution
-
The formula to convert Fahrenheit (°F) to Celsius (°C) is: °C = (°F - 32) × 5/9
-
Substitute the given Fahrenheit temperature: °C = (50 - 32) × 5/9 = 18 × 5/9 = 10°C
-
The formula to convert Celsius (°C) to Kelvin (K) is: K = °C + 273.15
-
Substitute the Celsius temperature: K = 10 + 273.15 = 283.15 K. Rounding to the nearest whole number gives 283 K.
Explanation: We first convert the Fahrenheit temperature to Celsius using the standard conversion formula. Then, we convert the Celsius temperature to Kelvin using the appropriate formula
