You install solar power in your home, and the solar panel costs $500 and is capable of producing 3 Million joules of energy each day. If electrical costs are $0.15/kilowatt hour, a kilowatt is equal to 1000 watts, and there are 3600 joules in 1 watt hour, how long will it take for the solar panel to pay for itself in electrical savings?
Step-by-step, explain how energy flows from the center of the Sun to Earth.
What is the ultimate source of energy that makes the Sun shine?
Assume that 10 J/cm2 of the energy in sunlight can damage the human retina. The fovea is a small pit in the retina where vision is the sharpest. If the fovea has an area of 0.018 cm2, how many joules of the Sun’s energy would damage it?
for any wave, the speed equals the wavelength times the frequency. If a photon of visible light has a wavelength of 500 nm (5 x 10-7 m) and a frequency of 6.0 x 1014 Hz, what is the speed of light (in meters per second, scientific notation)?
On Dec 5, 2022, scientific history was made at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) in Livermore, California when nuclear fusion was achieved when the 192 lasers deposited about 2 Megajoules (MJ) of energy into a frozen pea sized deuterium-tritium pellet and ignited the pellet through nuclear fusion to release 3 MJ of energy. The metric prefix mega means million (10^6). a) How much mass (kg) would be required to release 1 MJ of energy?
The photovoltaic systems are designed based on “Peak Sun Hours.” What is peak sun hour?
Suppose you have one cubic meter of gold, two cubic meters of silver, and six cubic meters ofaluminum. Rank them by mass, from smallest to largest. 5 pointsρ of gold = 19.3 x 103 kg/m3ρ of silver = 10.5 x 103 kg/m3ρ of aluminum = 2.7 x 103 kg/m3
