History

Answer:

1) Dam. Raises the water level of the river to create falling water. Also controls the flow of water. The reservoir that is formed is, in effect, stored energy.

2) Turbine. The force of falling water pushing against the turbine's blades causes the turbine to spin. A water turbine is much like a windmill, except the energy is provided by falling water instead of wind. The turbine converts the kinetic energy of falling water into mechanical energy.

3) Generator. Connected to the turbine by shafts and possibly gears so when the turbine spins it causes the generator to spin also. Converts the mechanical energy from the turbine into electric energy. Generators in hydropower plants work just like the generators in other types of power plants.

4) Transmission lines. Conduct electricity from the hydropower plant to homes and business.

A bag contains 30 marbles, 3 of which are blue, 20 are red, 5 are green, and 2 are purple. Emerson takes a marble out of the bag
natita [175]

Answer:

but about 20. 2 x 10 since there are 30 marbles, so it makes sense to say 30 x 10 to get 300, but since you only have 2 purple, you only get 2 purple out of every 30,  

SO in conclusion, 20 purple marbles.
