Basically a distance multiplied by a weight that is equal to the distance that is going to be multiplied by the weight. (for the equation we will use X for the distance).

equation: 4 x1 20 = ? x 80

Now step one: 4(120) = X(80)  

Or another way is 480 = 80X  

480/80 = X  

48/8= X  

X = 6

I hope this could help! Sorry if it didn't make much sense otherwise!

The statement "Good locations for turbines are limited" describes a drawback to wind energy.

Answer: Option B

<u>Explanation:</u>

Wind energy is one of the most useful and efficient renewable energy sources. But nothing is ideal in this universe and the same thing applies for wind energy also. The generation of electricity from wind energy requires setting up of turbines.

And these turbines can be set up in plane areas which is free from any disturbance except wind flow. In open area and flat plane surface only the turbines can rotate freely with the effect of wind.

But regions where the wind flow is minimum due to snow formation like the northern region of earth, the turbines cannot be set up there. So the locations for setting up of turbines are limited for good outcome in wind energy. This is one of the drawback of wind energy.

Meeta used an elastic tape to measure the length of her window to stitch a curtain. Do you think she will be able to stitch a cu
Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

No

Explanation:

She will not be able to measure the length of her window accurately due to instrumental error from her choice of instrument. The elastic nature of her tape would alter the measurement because it will stretch as she is taking her readings, thus reducing the true measurement of the length of her window.

To measure the length of her window, she could use an inelastic tape rule or a metre rule. These instruments would eliminate instrumental error.

padilas [110]

Answer:

The Hubble space telescope.

Explanation:

Hubble is a telescope that observers the sky 24/7 non-stop, which means that for every day of the year it would have made a significant discovery, which of course includes your birthday. Furthermore, you can actually go to NASA website and find out what discovery was made on your birthday! This shows both the vastness of the universe <em>(it really has to be huge for a telescope to have a discovery for each day of the year!) </em> and the ceaseless work of the telescope!
