On a sunny day, a student poured a cup of water on the sidewalk to make a puddle. When he returned later, the puddle was gone. The student concluded that the puddle was gone because the water soaked into the sidewalk. 1. What would you say to this student about this conclusion? 2. What could you do to demonstrate your idea about where the water went? Text EntryMedia Copy and paste or type your submission right here.

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.

work: w = fd (given)

work done by chet   =50*1 = 50 j

work done by mika =40*2 = 80 j

work done by sara =30*1.5 = 45 j

work done by bill =60*0.5 = 30 j

students in order from the greatest amount of work done to the least is mika> chet> sara> bill

hence option (b) is correct.
