Which fossil fuel is produced as a by-product that occurs when bacteria decompose organic material under anaerobic conditions?

Mumz [18]3 years ago

Bio-gas is the naturally produced fossil fuel, a by-product when bacteria decompose organic material under anaerobic conditions.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Organic matter particularly waste material is broken down by bacteria through fermentation in an environmental condition without any presence of oxygen. This process of decomposition leads to formation of bio-gas with "carbon dioxide and methane" in a 2:3 ratio.

The above biological process is termed as bio-digestion or anaerobic digestion. Methane is flammable and thus bio-gas can be used as "energy source", a waste-to-energy transformation. The remaining decomposed matter is ideal as manure for plants due to its rich nutrient level.

sergiy2304 [10]

To solve this we assume that the gas inside is an ideal gas. Then, we can use the ideal gas equation which is expressed as PV = nRT. At a constant pressure and number of moles of the gas the ratio T/V is equal to some constant. At another set of condition of temperature, the constant is still the same. Calculations are as follows:

T1 / V1 = T2 / V2

V2 = T2 x V1 / T1

V2 = 659.7 x 28 / 504.7

A 0.45-kilogram football traveling at a speed of 22 meters per second is caught by an 84-kilogram stationary receiver. if the fo
Troyanec [42]

Impulse = Change in momentum.  
The ball was moving with a momentum of 0.45 * 22 = 9.9  
The ball comes to rest in the receivers arm; this means the ball's final velocity = 0. So mv2 = 0.45 * 0  
The magnitude of the impact is just the change in momentum. 9.9 - (0.45 * 0) = 9.9

Suppose that a person riding on the top of a freight car shines a searchlight beam in the direction in which the train is travel
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

same

Explanation:

Acc. to Einstien's postulate of special theory of

Relativity , Velocity of the light beam is same in all frames of references

(a) If the freight car is at rest

The frame we can assumed as Non - inertial frame  of reference s

In the inertial frame of reference , velocity  of the light beam  has its own value as : 3 x 10^8 m/s

(b) If the freight car is moving , the frame we can assumed as  Non -inertial frame of reference    

In thus case also , The velocity of the light beam  will also have  the same value as ; 3 x 108 m/s

What is the direction of the magnetic field around a wire carrying a current perpendicularly into this page
UNO [17]

Answer:

Clockwise direction

Explanation:

In a case of a wire carrying a current, the right hand rule is used.

The thumb in the direction of current while the finger curl around in the direction of the magnetic field.

The right hand rule applies to a current in a straight line wire.

If the direction a wire carrying a current perpendicularly into this page, the direction of the magnetic field will be in a clockwise direction .
