Imagine you are an engineer who needs to test a scale model of a
footbridge. It will be a 1/20 scale model. The footbridge will cross
over a busy road and allow people to cross the road safely. How
could a relatively small design error of 2 centimeters in the model
system cause a significant problem in construction of the bridge?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The problem will be because:

The error in the construction of the bridge will be actually 40 cm.

Explanation:

When you, as an engineer, listen about a scale 1/20, it means that for each 1 cm in the model, it will be 20 cm in the real footbridge (20 times upper to the scale model), then how the error in the model is 2 cm, the real error is 40 cm, in this case, imagine that you didn't know that the bridge will have an error of 40 cm, which is approximately 1,31 ft, from a side of the bridge you begin with the correct measure, and the other side you use the measure with the error of the 40 cm, the result is that when you going to finish the bridge in the center, this won't match, making more expenses to correct that big error.

what causes rain to fall from the sky

Answers

Answer:

Rain is precipitation.

here’s the cycle:

1. Evaporation.

A body of water is evaporated by the heat of the sun. The water particles turn into vapor gas and move up as they are evaporated, and this leads to the next step.

2. Condensation.

The particles/molecules are collected inside of the clouds. They continue to collect until they’re ready for the next step.

3. Precipitation.

The droplets are now large enough to form rain, so they fall out from the clouds. This is precipitation.

And the cycle continues.

So that’s how rain is formed.

Why do countries not convert from the use of oil to solar energy?
Solar energy is more difficult to use than oil to make electricity.
It requires more work to use solar energy to make electricity.
Solar energy is a limited resource.
It is more expensive to create solar energy than use oil for making electricity.

Answers

Answer:

It is more expensive to create solar energy than use oil for making electricity.

Explanation:

Solar energy is a renewable source of energy from the sun. It is the most powerful and eco-friendly source of energy, however, many countries still do not use this source of energy in creating electricity. This is because the technology behind using solar energy to create electricity is very expensive in comparison with the use of oil.

In as much as solar energy is always readily available everywhere and everyday (natural), building the technology to make it generate electricity is huge. Hence, countries stick to the use of oil, which is way cheaper to operate.

If plant sap has as much sugar as a can of soda, do you think that if you bit into a plant’s leaves or stems, would it taste sweet? Why or why not?

Answers

Answer:

No

Explanation:

If plant sap has as much sugar as a can of soda, they will not taste sweet if one bit into their stems of leaves.

This is because most plants do not store sugar, which is the product of photosynthesis, in leaves or stems. The few ones that store their photosynthetic products in leaves/stems do not store them directly as sweet sugar. They often stored them as starch which is not generally sweet in taste.

Hence, plant's leaves/stems will not taste sweet even if they have as much sugar as a can of soda.

When listing the levels of organization in organisms from least complex to most complex, which level is just below organs in complexity?

Answers

From least to most complex, TISSUES, is right below organs.

Answer:

D tissues

Explanation:

On April 20, 2010, an explosion on the Deepwater Horizon Macondo oil well drilling platform released 4 million barrels (636,000 cubic meters) of oil into the Gulf of Mexico. It took scientists and engineers nearly three months and several different attempts to cap the well. The Macondo oil well was located 1524 m (5000 feet) below the surface of the water, about 80 km (50 miles) off the coast of Louisiana. The spill affected 2113 km (1300 miles) of shoreline along the coasts of five states. Most crude oil contains 84–87% carbon by weight. Scientists have not yet fully assessed the environmental impact of the accident.
