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!

From the given problem, a limit on the depression of a building is placed at 20 centimeters. To solve how many floors can be safely added, a quantity of how many cm will a building sink for each floor that is added is needed. Unfortunately, it is not found anywhere in the problem. However, we can provide a formula to solve for the depression. This is as follows:

Building depression < 20 cm

Building depression = (cm depression per floor) * (no. of floors)

A portable x-ray unit has a step-up transformer. The 120 V input is transformed to the 100 kV output needed by the x-ray tube. T

Answer:

$N_s\approx41667 \hspace{3}lo ops$

Explanation:

In an ideal transformer, the ratio of the voltages is proportional to the ratio of the number of turns of the windings. In this way:

$\frac{V_p}{V_s} =\frac{N_p}{N_s} \\\\Where:\\\\V_p=Primary\hspace{3} Voltage\\V_s=V_p=Secondary\hspace{3} Voltage\\N_p=Number\hspace{3} of\hspace{3} Primary\hspace{3} Windings\\N_s=Number\hspace{3} of\hspace{3} Secondary\hspace{3} Windings$

In this case:

$V_p=120V\\V_s=100kV=100000V\\N_p=50$

Therefore, using the previous equation and the data provided, let's solve for $N_s$ :

$N_s=\frac{N_p V_s}{V_p} =\frac{(50)(100000)}{120} =\frac{125000}{3} \approx41667\hspace{3}loo ps$

Hence, the number of loops in the secondary is approximately 41667.

Classify the quadrilateral. parallel sides are indicated with arrows.

Sonbull [250]

A quadrilateral is a four-sided polygon that may be classified as: trapezoid, rectangle, square, rhombus, etc. This classification is based on the measurement of the four angles, the four sides, and their being parallel. Unfortunately though, I think you missed to include here the diagram that we are about to classify.
