Answer:

\large \boxed{\text{4 600 000 kg or 4600 Mg}}

Explanation:

1. Calculate the adult life

If the elephant is an adult from its 10th birthday until the day before its 56th birthday, its  

Adult life = 55 - 10 + 1 = 46 yr

2. Convert years to days

\text{Adult life} = \text{46 yr} \times \dfrac{\text{365.25 da}}{\text{1 yr}} = \text{16 800 da}

3. Convert days to pounds of feed

\text{Feed} = \text{16 800 da} \times \dfrac{\text{600 lb}}{\text{1 da}} = 1.01 \times 10^{7} \text{ lb}

4. Convert pounds to kilograms and megagrams

\text{Feed} =1.01 \times 10^{7} \text{ lb} \times \dfrac{\text{1 kg}}{\text{2.20 lb}} =\textbf{4 600 000 kg} = \textbf{4600 Mg}\\\\\text{The elephant will eat $\large \boxed{\textbf{4 600 000 kg or 4600 Mg}}$ of food.}

Note: The answer can have only two significant figures because that is all you gave for age of the elephant.

What effect does adding a neutron have on the atoms identity
Sergeu [11.5K]

Neutrons don’t carry an electrical charge, meaning that adding or subtracting them from the nucleus will not change the electrical charge of the nucleus of an atom. But, adding/removing neutrons changes the mass of the nucleus. This is how isotopes are formed.

Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

2.2508\times 10^{19} m meter the mean free path of hydrogen atoms in interstellar space.Explanation:

The mean free path equation is given as:

\lambda =\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}\pi d^2 n}

Where"

d = diameter of hydrogen atom in meters

n =  number of molecules per unit volume

We are given: d = 100 pm = 100\times 10^{-12}= 10^{-10} m

n = 1 m^{-3}

\lambda =\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}\pi (10^{-10} m)^2\times 1 m^{-3}}

\lambda =2.2508\times 10^{19} m

2.2508\times 10^{19} m meter the mean free path of hydrogen atoms in interstellar space.
