Is natural gas inexhaustable

1 answer:

3 0

Yes. While we're using the natural gas that was created by the decomposition
of dead dinosaurs, we're also manufacturing more of it, by the decomposition
of potato peels and dirty diapers in land fills, and of leaves, trees, and dead
wildlife everywhere on Earth.

The new stuff will be ready to extract and use in a million years or so.

That's the problem ... not that natural gas is exhaustible, but that we're using it
much much faster than it can be regenerated. So on the time-scale of our
requirements, it's a limited resource, and it's very possible to run out of it.

It's exactly the same as spending money faster than you earn it.
And so is oil.

A 5.75 mm high firefly sits on the axis of, and 11.3 cm in front of, the thin lens A, whose focal length is 5.77 cm . Behind len

Answer

given,

focal length of lens A = 5.77 cm

focal length of lens B= 27.9 cm

flies distance from mirror = 11.3 m

now,

Using lens formula

$\dfrac{1}{f} = \dfrac{1}{p} + \dfrac{1}{q}$

$\dfrac{1}{5.77} = \dfrac{1}{11.3} + \dfrac{1}{q}$

q =11.79 cm

image of lens A is object of lens B

distance of lens = 59.9 - 11.79 = 48.11

now, Again applying lens formula

$\dfrac{1}{f} = \dfrac{1}{p} + \dfrac{1}{q'}$

$\dfrac{1}{27.9} = \dfrac{1}{48.11} + \dfrac{1}{q'}$

q' =66.41 cm

hence, the image distance from the second lens is equal to q' =66.41 cm

Answer:

0.2286 m, 0.686 m and 1,143 m

therefore we see that there is respect even where the intensity is minimal

Explanation:

Destructive interference to the two speakers is described by the expression

Δr = (2n +1) λ/2

where r is the distance, λ the wavelength and n an integer indicating the order of the interference

let's locate the origin on the left speaker

let's find the wavelength with the equation

v = λ f

λ = v / f

we substitute

Δr = (2n + 1) v / 2f

let's calculate for difference values of n

Δr = (2n +1) 343/(2 750)

Δr = (2n + 1) 0.2286

we locate the different values for a minimum of interim

n Δr (m)

0 0.2286

1 0.686

2 1,143

therefore we see that there is respect even where the intensity is minimal
