Answer:

b. wind waves, seiches, tsunami, tides.

Explanation:

The wavelength of water waves is calculated measuring the distances between the trough (low point) portion of a wave.  Usually, the bigger the wave, the greater the wavelength.

wind waves: small waves caused by the wind.  These waves tend to be small and with a short wavelength.

seiches: are usually waves on a lake or other closed water bassin.  They can be pretty high from a human perspective, so they are definitely bigger than wind waves.

tsunami: we all know how big the waves of a tsunami can be, totally wiping out coastal cities they encounter, so that's pretty big waves, and big waves tend to be larger apart (so with a bigger wavelength) than smaller ones.

tides: yes, a tide can be considered as a huge wave... that's running throughout the planet.  We barely see it as a wave because we can only see one wave at a time, the next wave being tens of thousands of mile away.

If water is a compound, how was it made ? Since water existed before humans came to their evolved state.
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

Water is a compound because it is made up of water molecules. There is no such thing as water atoms. Water molecules are made of hydrogen and oxygen atoms, in the definite proportion of two hydrogens for one oxygen. ... Aggregates of single atoms make elements.

The measures of the three angles of a triangle are given by 18x − 7, 12x + 9, and 4x. What is the measure of the largest angle?
Goryan [66]

Answer:

The greatest angle is 18x-7

Explanation:

According to angle sum property of a triangle, sum of all the angles of a triangle is equal to 180°.

The given angles of a triangle are 18x-7,12x+9,4x

Therefore,

18x-7+12x+9+4x=180°

34x+2=180°

34x=178°

x=\frac{178}{34}=\frac{89}{17}

18x-7=18(\frac{89}{17})-7=\frac{1602-119}{17}=\frac{1483}{17}≈ 87.2°

12x+9=12(\frac{89}{17})+9=\frac{1068+153}{17}=\frac{1221}{17} ≈ 71.8°

4x=4(\frac{89}{17})=\frac{356}{17} ≈ 20.9°

Therefore, greatest angle is 18x-7

2. How much Potential Energy is gained when a 1250 N mass is raised a vertical distance of<br>35 m?​
vichka [17]

Potential Energy

The potential energy gained is 43750 J

Explanation:

Potential energy is the energy by virtue of an object's position relative to the ground ie, the height of the other object.

For example, an object has more potential energy when it is on top of a two-story building than it does resting on the ground. That's because the object's relative position to the Earth gives it more energy.

Potential Energy is defined as

Potential energy = Mass * height

Given Mass M = 1250 N

Given height h = 35 m

So the potential energy = 1250 * 35 = 43750 J

Thus the potential energy is 43750 J
