Answer:

The students conclusion is wrong.

Explanation:

The students conclusion is wrong because liquids can not soak into concrete. The water evaporated because it was a hot sunny day. The water turned into a gas called water vapor.

Dumbo the elephant weights 13,000 pounds. What force would the Earths surface apply to Dumbo? 2.2 pounds = 1 kg
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

57908 N

Explanation:

Let's first convert Dumbo's mass into kg using the given relationship: 2.2 pounds =1 kg.

Then, 13000 lbs = 13000/2.2 kg = 5909 kg

Now, let's find the force of gravity on Dumbo at the surface of the earth, which would be in magnitude equal to the normal force that the Earth's surface applies on Dumbo.

F = m * a = 5909 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 = 57908 N

Kepler’s third law can be used to derive the relation between the orbital period, P (measured in days), and the semimajor axis,
NikAS [45]
Kepler's 3rd law is given as
P² = kA³
where
P = period, days
A = semimajor axis, AU
k = constant

Given:
P = 687 days
A = 1.52 AU

Therefore
k = P²/A³ = 687²/1.52³ = 1.3439 x 10⁵ days²/AU³

Answer:  1.3439 x 10⁵ (days²/AU³)

How large an expansion gap should be left between steel railroad rails if they may reach a maximum temperature 40.0°C greater th
ella [17]

Answer:

19.68 × 10⁻³ m

Explanation:

Given;

Original Length, L₁ = 41.0 m

Temperature Change, ΔT = 40.0°C

Thermal Linear expansion of steel is given to be, ∝_{steel} = 12 × 10⁻⁶ /°C

   Generally, Linear expansivity is expressed as;

                               ∝ = ΔL / L₁ΔT

Where

∝ is the Linear expansivity

ΔL is the change in length, L₂ - L₁

L₂ is the final length

L₁ is the original length

ΔT is the change in temperature θ₂ - θ₁ (Final Temperature - Initial Temperature)              

From equation of linear expansivity

                         ΔL = ∝_{steel}L₁ΔT

                         ΔL = 12 × 10⁻⁶ /°C × 41.0 m × 40.0 °C

                         ΔL = 19.68 × 10⁻³ m

                         ΔL = 19.68 mm

coldgirl [10]

The combination of decay processes that would convert U-239 into PU- 239 is beta decay followed by another beta decay. There are two different types of beta decay (positive and negative beta decays) they both occur simultaneously in order to move the atoms towards stability.
