Hello!

Most ocean waves obtain their energy and motion from the wind.

Ocean waves are surface waves that move across the surface of the ocean. When wind touches the surface of the water, there is friction in the contact zone. This friction causes a drag effect, that makes wrinkles on the surface of the water. As the wrinkles get bigger, they transform into full-blown waves, and the taller the wave, the more energy it can extract from the wind, making them even bigger and to move longer distances. 

Have a nice day!

A 2.03 kg book is placed on a flat desk. Suppose the coefficient of static friction between the book and the desk is 0.602 and t
diamong [38]

Answer:

11.98 N

Explanation:

Normal force =   mg =  2.03 * 9.81

coeff of static friction must be overcome for the book to begin moving

       .602 = F / (2.03 * 9.81)   = 11.98  N

<h3>♫ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ~Hello There!~ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ♫</h3>

➷ A normal atom has the same amount of electrons and protons, making it neutral. An atom develops a positive charge when it loses an electron(s). Once it loses an electron(s), there would now be more protons that electrons.

Short answer: by losing an electron(s)
