Answer:

Almost immeasurably small.

Explanation:

The STORY is that humans are BAD for the environment and have caused a HUGE change in the amount of CO₂ in the atmosphere.

Let's look at the reports and draw our own conclusions.

Current CO₂ levels are 409.8 parts per million (PPM)

at the beginning of the Industrial revolution in the 1700's, the presumed beginning of the huge increase in CO₂ the level was about 280 PPM

For perspective lets assume we capture the whole atmosphere and squish it down to 2400 one liter bottles of air

That's 100 cases of 24 bottles per case.

We now separate all the air components into their own bottles

Nitrogen is 78% of our air, so we subtract 78 cases from our 100 leaving 22

Subtracting Oxygen at 21% of air leaves 1 case of liter bottles left

Of those 24 bottles, Argon makes up 0.93% of air so we subtract 22 bottles

The remaining two bottles contain all of the other gasses in our air, One of those bottles contains CO₂.

If we take the CO₂ levels from the 1700's at about 280 PPM as a baseline and assume ALL of the increase is human caused, that is (410 -280) / 280 = 46 % of the total.

The human caused addition of CO₂ would be 460 mililiters out of 2400 liters over the course of 250 years

The claim is, that less than half of a liter of CO₂ out of 2400 liters of air is responsible for heating not only the gas in all the other bottles but also the surface of the earth itself.

Personally, it boggles my mind.

And it says NOTHING of a far more powerful greenhouse gas that is far more prevalent in the atmosphere...water vapor.

Water vapor is about 1% of air at sea level and about 0.4% overall. It was not considered in the above analysis because water vapor can condense out and is not a constant in the air.

Notice that there is about 100 times the amount of water vapor in the air as compared to CO₂. Water vapor also has between 4 and 8 times the greenhouse effect that CO₂ does.

Makes one wonder why we choose to pick on CO₂.

An isolated conducting sphere has a 17 cm radius. One wire carries a current of 1.0000020 A into it. Another wire carries a curr

14 ms is required to reach the potential of 1500 V.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The current is measured as the amount of charge traveling per unit time. So the charge of electrons required for each current is determined as the product of current with time.

$Charge = Current \times Time$

As two different current is passing at two different times, the net charge will be the different in current. So,

$\text { Charge }=(1.0000020-1.0000000) \times t=2 \times 10^{-6} \times t$

The electric voltage on the surface of cylinder can be obtained as the ratio of charge to the radius of the cylinder.

$V=\frac{k q}{R}$

Here $k = 9 * 10^9$ , q is the charge and R is the radius. As $q=2 \times 10^{-6} \times t$ and R =17 cm = 0.17 m, then the voltage will be

$V=\frac{9 \times 10^{9} \times 2 \times 10^{-6} \times t}{0.17}$

The time is required to find to reach the voltage of 1500 V, so

$1500 =\frac{9 \times 10^{9} \times 2 \times 10^{-6} \times t}{0.17}$

$\begin{aligned}&t=\frac{1500 \times 0.17}{\left(9 \times 10^{9} \times 2 \times 10^{-6}\right)}\\&t=14.1666 \times 10^{-3} s=14\ \mathrm{ms}\end{aligned}$

So, 14 ms is required to reach the potential of 1500 V.

A new landowner has a triangular piece of flat land she wishes to fence. Starting at the first corner, she measures the first si

Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

Length of third side = 3.97m

Explanation:

First of all, let we draw the triangle from the given information assuming our first corner is A. second corner is B and third corner is C.

From A-B we have distance = 5.5m = Say it c

From B-C we have distance = 4.3m = Say it a

From A-C we have distance = ? = Say it b which we have to find out.

Using the Law of Cosines: The square of the unknown side equals to the sum of squares of other 2 sides and subtracting 2*(Product of other sides)*(Cos(Angle opposite to the unknown side)

For our case it is:

b² = a² + c² - 2acCos(B) - Say it equation 1

From the attached triangle you may see that, a & c are our known sides and B is the angle opposite to the side b.

There values are:

a = 4.3m; c = 5.5m ; Angle B = 0.8 rad = 0.8 * 57.3 = 45.84 degrees where 1 rad = 57.3 degrees

Now by putting the respectve values in equation 1 we have:

b² = (4.3)² + (5.5)² - 2*4.3*5.5*Cos(45.84)

b² = 18.49 + 30.25 - 32.95

b² = 15.79

b = √15.79

b = 3.97m

Thus the length of third side is 3.97m.

PS: The picture of triangle is being attached for yours understanding.
