are prime examples of the implementation of gas laws. The physics are based on the simple principle that warm air rises in cooler air. Hot air has less mass per unit of volume. The relevant gas law in use is Charless Law‚ which is V1/T1=V2/T2. The law states that raising the temperature (T1) will also increase the volume (V2)‚ in order to keep the equation true. Generally‚ air is heated through the use of propane burners. When ignited‚ the volume of the gas increases but the balloon cannot expand much

OVERALL Questar corporation is an energy company with asset valued at about $4 billion which is the main developer of the gas wells arround the Pinedale Mesa‚ an area that is famous at the gateway to the hunting‚ fishing‚ and hiking treasures. Ocassionally elk‚ mule deer‚ pronghorn antelope and other wild life‚ including the imperiled greater sage grouse‚ descent from their habitats atop the mesa and gingerly make their way around and between the questar wells around Pinedale. Not suprisingly‚ environmentalist

Case: Gas or Grouse? 1. Systemic issues: Questar is a company and it knows that every mining activities in Mesa will affect the ecological environment. But BLM did nothing since Questar had damaged the local environment. And we know many gas companies have special relationship with governments. Corporate issues: Questar has destroyed the environment when the mining operation was begun. Individual issues: The people who live in Pinedale Mesa believe the drilling activity bring numerous

Cash Flows for Discounting Calculations When managers are forecasting the cash flows for a project‚ they will consider the expected revenues and costs‚ but they must also include an estimate for working capital requirements. The working capital will be required in period 1 to allow the business to acquire inventories and build up debtors (receivables) to the extent that these are not matched by trade. The working capital will be recovered at the end of the project when the inventories are sold‚

Sample Real GDP Calculation Econ 102-1 Alley Nominal GDP is calculated by summing the value of goods and services produced in a given year using the prices of these outputs in that year. If the general price level increases or decreases from one year to the next‚ it is difficult to compare the amount of output that a country produces across different years. To correct for this‚ we want to value output in every year using the same prices. In other words‚ we calculate real GDP. Consider the
