Answer:

(a) 561.12 W/ m² (b) 196.39 MW

Explanation:

Solution

(a) Determine the energy and power of the wave per unit area

The energy per unit are of the wave is defined as:

E = 1 /16ρgH²

= 1/16 * 1025 kg/ m3* 9.81 m/s² * (2.5 m )²

=3927. 83 J/m²

Thus,

The power of the wave per unit area is,

P = E/ t

= 3927. 83 J/m² / 7 s = 561.12 W/ m²

(b) The average and work power output of a wave power plant

W = E * л * A

= 3927. 83 J/m² * 0.35 * 1 *10^6 m²

= 1374.74 MJ

Then,

The power produced by the wave for one km²

P = P * л * A

= 5612.12 W/m² * 0.35 * 1* 10^6 m²

=196.39 MW

IgorC [24]

Answer:

Improved/ advanced types of Actuators include servo systems, create a large range of actuator motion in response to the changing needs of the operational environment or process.

Actuators are local or automated suppliers of working motion.

Hydraulic and air cylinders can be classified as single-acting cylinders, meaning that the energy source result in movement in one direction and a spring is used for the other direction.

Explanation:

An actuator control system is referred to as any electronic, electrical, or electromechanical system often used to activate an actuator, control the direction as well as extent and duration of its output. Actuator control systems could take the form of extremely simple, manually-operated, start-and-stop stations, either sophisticated or programmable computer systems. The more improved/ advanced types include servo systems that produce a large range of actuator motion in response to the changing needs of the operational environment or process. This type of actuator control system uses an interface arrangement that assimilates feedback from the process or mechanism and adjusts the actuator in the right way. Most actuator systems will include at least a set of travel limits that prevent the actuator destroying itself or the secondary mechanism.

Actuators are local or automated suppliers of working motion. They are used to changes, adjust, or move a secondary mechanism, where a physical operator cannot intervene directly. They are denoted by a large range of varying types using electrical and electromagnetic, hydraulic, or pneumatic power sources to create linear or rotary outputs. One element they all have in common is the actuator control system used to start, stop, and adjust the range, speed, and duration of the working motion.

Actuators can produce a linear motion, rotary motion or oscillatory motion which means they can create motion in one direction, in a circular motion or in opposite directions at regular intervals. Hydraulic and air cylinders can be classified as single-acting cylinders, meaning that the energy source result in movement in one direction and a spring is used for the other direction.

Which statement explains what causes the balloon to accelerate
victus00 [196]
The air leaving through the balloon's mouth pulls the balloon in the same direction as the exiting air, so the balloon experiences a net force. All air surrounding the balloon pushes the balloon forward.

Advocard [28]

Answer:

#include <stdio.h>

typedef struct InventoryTag_struct {

int itemID;

int quantityRemaining;

} InventoryTag;

int main(void) {

InventoryTag redSweater;

redSweater.itemID = 314;

redSweater.quantityRemaining = 500;

/* Your solution goes here */

printf("Inventory ID: %d, Qty: %d\n",redSweater.itemID,redSweater.quantityRemaining);

getchar();

return 0;
