Chapter 05 Production and Cost Essay Questions 1. Always Round Tire has a production function of Q = 300 L.75 K.5. In the short run‚ if L = 250 and K = 25‚ what happens to the output of tires if L jumps to 300 and then 350. What law does this illustrate? When L=250 and K=25 then Q=94307. When L increases to 300‚ Q increases to 108‚127. When L increases to 350‚ Q increases to 121‚379. This shows the effects of diminishing marginal returns to labor as a factor of production. AASCB:

Cheyenne Kenny September 29‚ 2014. Biology Properties Of Water Adhesion How does temperature change affect surface tension? As the temperature of a liquid increases‚ its surface tension decreases. When water heats up‚ the movement of its molecules disrupts the imbalanced forces on the surface of the water and weakens its sheet-like barrier of tightly bound molecules‚ thereby lowering the surface tension. This is why hot water is more effective when cleaning; its low surface
