    Is the World Approaching the Inevitable Hubbert's Peak of Oil Production?

    In 1956, Hubbert proposed that fossil fuel production in a given region over time would follow a bell-shaped curve without giving a precise formula; he later used the Hubbert curve, the derivative of the logistic curve, for estimating future production. Hubbert assumed that after fossil fuel...

    Projectile Problem - Time of Peak

    If a fireworks rocket has an initial upward speed of 58 m/s when launched, for how long will it coast before reaching its peak? So could I use the equation t=v0z/g? When I use this I get the peak to be 5.9s. Is v0z = 58 m/s or would that be 0? Am I approaching this correctly?

    What Is the Peak Value of the E-Field If the Magnetic Field Is 2 x 10^-7 T?

    Hi, My Question: If the peak value of the magnetic field of an EM wave is 2 x 10^-7 T. Calculate the peak value of the E-field. Work: C=E/B so, 3*10^8 m/s=(E)/(2*10^-7 T) (3*10^8 m/s)(2*10^-7 T)=E E= 60 N/C Is this right ? Thank You
