Computers and Technology
1 answer:
SIZIF [17.4K]3 years ago
7 0

It allows us to precisely tell where places, people (under certain circumstances), etc. are. It is the most widely relied upon mapping system in the world. Using a GPS, you can find almost any plotted (known) location on the Earth. Most mapping operations rely on a GPS and would, otherwise, fail without it.

1. What is the main factor that affects Earth’s average temperature?
user100 [1]

Answer:

1. The Sun is the primary source of energy that influences any planet's temperature, including Earth. The amount of energy received from the Sun is called insolation; the ratio reflected is called the albedo.

2.There are three major ways in which global warming will make changes to regional climate: melting or forming ice, changing the hydrological cycle (of evaporation and precipitation) and changing currents in the oceans and air flows in the atmosphere

3.The warming of Earth is primarily due to accumulation of heat-trapping greenhouse gases, and more than 90 percent of this trapped heat is absorbed by the oceans. As this heat is absorbed, ocean temperatures rise and water expands. This thermal expansion contributes to an increase in global sea level.

4.The main sources of greenhouse gases due to human activity are: burning fossil fuels leading to higher carbon dioxide concentrations. farming and forestry — including land use change via agriculture and livestock. cement manufacture.

5. - Reduce, Reuse, Recycle

- Use Less Heat and Air Conditioning

-Use Less Hot Water

write a c++program that allows the user to enter the last names of fivecandidates in a local election and the number of votes re
madreJ [45]

Answer:

#include<iostream>

#include<stdlib.h>

using namespace std;

int main(){

   //initialization

   string str1[5];

   int arr_Vote[5];

   int Total_Vote=0,max1_Index;

   int max1=INT_MIN;

   //loop for storing input enter by user

   for(int i=0;i<5;i++){

       cout<<"Enter the last name of candidate: "<<endl;

       cin>>str1[i];

       cout<<"Enter the number of vote receive by the candidate: "<<endl;

       cin>>arr_Vote[i];

       //calculate the sum

       Total_Vote = Total_Vote + arr_Vote[i];

       //find the index of maximum vote

       if(arr_Vote[i]>max1){

           max1=arr_Vote[i];

           max1_Index=i;

       }

   }

   //display

   cout<<"\nThe output is......"<<endl;

   //loop for display data of each candidate

   for(int i=0;i<5;i++){

       cout<<str1[i]<<"\t"<<arr_Vote[i]<<"\t"     <<float(arr_Vote[i]*100)/Total_Vote<<"%"<<endl;

   }

   //display winner

   cout<<"The winner candidate is"<<endl;

   cout<<str1[max1_Index]<<"\t"<<arr_Vote[max1_Index]<<"\t"<<float(arr_Vote[max1_Index]*100)/Total_Vote<<" %"<<endl;

}

Explanation:

Create the main function and declare the two arrays and variables.

the first array for storing the names, so it must be a string type. second array stores the votes, so it must be int type.

after that, take a for loop and it runs for 5 times and storing the values entered by the user in the arrays.

we also calculate the sum by adding the array data one by one.

In the same loop, we also find the index of the maximum vote. take an if statement and it checks the element in the array is greater than the max1 variable. Max1 variable contains the very small value INT_MIN.

If condition true, update the max1 value and update the max1_Index value.

The above process continues for each candidate for 5 times.

After that, take a for loop and display the data along with percentage by using the formula:

Vote\,percent=\frac{Vote\,receive*100}{Total\,vote}

the, finally display the winner by using the max1_Index value.
