A. What is on the x and y axis of this graph? Describe in everyday words the meaning of the variable on the y-axis, using an example to clarify. B. What is the difference between the yellow and red curves? C. The yellow curve says that it was scaled by 10-6. What does that mean? How does that change how you interpret this plot? Can you explain this in terms of your experience of sunlight versus heat radiated by the earth?

The total rate at which power is used by humans worldwideis approximately 15 TW (terawatts). The solar flux averagedover the sunlit half of Earth is 680 W/m2 (assumingno clouds). The area of Earth’s disc as seen from the Sun is1.28 x 1014 m2. The surface area of Earth is approximately197,000,000 square miles. How much of Earth’s surfacewould we need to cover with solar energy collectors to powerthe planet for use by all humans? Assume that the solar energycollectors can convert only 10% of the available sunlightinto useful power.
The thermogram in the figure below shows the change in mass for a sample of calcium oxalate monohydrate, CaC2O4 × H2O. The original sample weighed 42.50 mg and was heated from room temperature to1500 °C at a rate of 5 °C min. The following changes in mass and corresponding temperature ranges were observed: • Loss of 4.03 mg from 100–250 °C• Loss of 5.72 mg from 400–500 °C• Loss of 8.41 mg from 700–850 °CDetermine the identities of the volatilization products and the solid residue at each step of the thermal decomposition.
A corpse discovered in the desert at 5:00 PM was found to have larvae from the blow fly species Phormia regina that had just developed into the first instar stage. Controlled experiments show that this species requires 16.016.0 hours at 26.7∘ C26.7∘ C to develop from an egg to the first instar stage. The average nighttime temperature in the desert was 22.7∘ C22.7∘ C, and the average daytime temperature was 38.3∘ C38.3∘ C. If the sunset occurred at 9:00 PM and the sunrise occurred at 7:00 AM, how many hours prior to discovery was the corpse placed in the desert?
It is estimated that the net amount of carbon dioxide fixed byphotosynthesis on the landmass of Earth is 5.5 x 1016 g/yrof CO2. Assume that all this carbon is converted into glucose.(a) Calculate the energy stored by photosynthesis onland per year, in kJ.

A dead body was found within a closed room of a house where the temperature was a constant 70° F. At the time of discovery the core temperature of the body was determined to be 90° F. One hour later a second measurement showed that the core temperature of the body was 85° F. Assume that the time of death corresponds to t = 0 and that the core temperature at that time was 98.6° F. Determine how many hours elapsed before the body was found. [Hint: Let t1 > 0 denote the time that the body was discovered.] (Round your answer to one decimal place.)
