Answer:

  110 m

Explanation:

The geometry of the problem can be modeled by a right triangle. The height of the cliff forms one leg, and the distance to a buoy forms the other leg. The angle of depression is opposite the height of the cliff. An appropriate trig relation is ...

  Tan = Opposite/Adjacent

Solving for the Adjacent side (the distance to the buoy), we find ...

  Adjacent = Opposite/Tan

  distance to buoy 1 = (80 m)/tan(23°) ≈ 188.468 m

  distance to buoy 2 = (80 m)/tan(15°) ≈ 298.564 m

Then the distance between the buoys is ...

  298.564 -188.468 m ≈ 110 m

The buoys are about 110 meters apart.

In a steady flow device, the properties of the system remains constant with time. a)True b) False
Leviafan [203]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

By definition of steady flow we have

\frac{\partial f(x,y,z,t) }{\partial t}=0

where f(x,y,z,t) is any property of the system under consideration

=> f(x,y,z,t) = constant

The function below takes a single parameter, a list of numbers called number_list. Complete the function to return a string of t
makkiz [27]

Answer:

The solution code is written in Python:

  1. def convertCSV(number_list):
  2.    str_list = []
  3.    for num in number_list:
  4.        str_list.append(str(num))
  5.    
  6.    return ",".join(str_list)
  7. result = convertCSV([22,33,44])
  8. print(result)

Explanation:

Firstly, create a function "convertCSV" with one parameter "number_list". (Line 1)

Next, create an empty list and assign it to a new variable <em>str_list</em>. (Line 2)

Use for-loop to iterate through all the number in the <em>number_list</em>.(Line 4). Within the loop, each number is converted to a string using the Python built-in function <em>str() </em>and then use the list append method to add the string version of the number to <em>str_list</em>.

Use Python string<em> join() </em>method to join all the elements in the str_list as a single string. The "," is used as a separator between the elements (Line 7) . At the end return the string as an output.

We can test the function by calling the function and passing [22,33,34] as an argument and we shall see "22,33,44" is printed as an output. (Line 9 - 10)
