'Man has lost his capacity to foresee and foresight, he will meet his own end by destroying the earth.''
a. Evaluate this statement and write your opinion.
b. Predict what will happen to nature is human race is abolished.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

a. The statement is correct. Due to the activities of human being, so many factors affecting the environment such as global warming, deforestation, pollution, population explosion, soil erosion etc. occur This causes imbalance in ecosystem and ultimately it destroys earth.
b. If human race is abolished the above said activities are not seen and the earth.s ecosystem will develop. Due to the photosynthesis, the availability of oxygen will be more in the atmosphere. But on the other hand the availability of the carbon dioxide the expiration which is useful for the photosynthesis will be lower because during the expiration `CO_(2)` is given to the atmosphere by animals (including humans).

The friction coefficient bettween an athelete's shoes and the ground is 0.90. Suppose a superman wears these shoes and races for 50 m. There is no upper limit in his capacity of running at high speeds. A. Find the minimum time that he will have to take in completing the 50 m starting from rest. b. Suppose he takes exactly this minimum time to complete the 50 m, what minimum time will he take to stop?

a. The top of the atmosphere is at about 400 kV with respectto the surface of the earth, corresponding to an electric field that decreases with altitude. Near the surface of the earth, the field is about 100 Vm^(-1). Why then do we not get a electric shock as we step out of our house into the openy (Assume the house to be a steel cage so there is no field inside!) b. A man fixes outside his house one evening a two metre high insulating slab carrying on its top a large aluminium sheet of area 1m^(2) . Will he get an electric shock if he touches the metal sheet next morning? c. The discharging current in the atmosphere due to the small conductivity of air is known to be 1800A on an average over the globe. Why then does the atmosphere not discharge itself completely in due course and become electrically neutral? In other words, what keeps the atmosphere charged? d. What are the forms of energy into which the electrical energy of the atmosphere is dissipated during a lightning? (Hint: The earth has an electric field of about 100 Vm^(-1) at its surface in the downward direction, corresponding to a surface charge density =-10^(-9) Cm^(-2) ?.
