All three are forms of renewable energy.

Wind turbines utilize the wind to generate power, hydroelectric dams also do the same (although most states have stopped using them since they're bad for the environment)

Ethanol, a substitute for gasoline, comes from corn, which can be grown in farms throughout America.

Assume that our computer stores decimal numbers using 16 bits - 10 bits for a sign/magnitude mantissa and 6 bits for a sign/magn

madreJ [45]

Explanation:

a) 7.5= 111.1×2°= 0.1111×2^3

which can also be written as

(1/2+1/4+1/8+1/16)×8

sign of mantissa:=0

Mantissa(9 bits): 111100000

sign of exponent: 0

Exponent(5 bits): 0011

the final for this is:011110000000011

b) -20.25= -10100.01×2^0= -0.1010001×2^5

sign of mantissa: 1

Mantissa(9 bits): 101000100

sign of exponent: 0

Exponent(5 bits): 00101

the final for this is:1101000100000101

c)-1/64= -.000001×2^0= -0.1×2^{-5}

sign of mantissa: 1

Why would the planets move in a straight path if there was no gravitational energy from the sun

omeli [17]

Explanation:

The sun's gravitational force is very strong. If it were not, a planet would move in a straight line out into space. The sun's gravity pulls the planet toward the sun, which changes the straight line of direction into a curve. This keeps the planet moving in an orbit around the sun

Mr. Beall paddles his canoe at 8.0 m/s North in a river that flows at 6.0 m/s to the South. What is the magnitude and direction

kifflom [539]

Answer:

2 /s north

Explanation:

Given that,

Velocity due North is 8 m/s and due south is 6 m/s

We need to find the magnitude and the direction of the resulting velocity.

Let North is positive and South is negative. When two velocities are in opposite direction, they adds up. So,
