Electrical power companies sell electrical energy by the kilowatt-hour, where 1kWh = 3.6x106 J. Suppose that it costs $0.15 per kWH to run your electric water heater. How much does it cost to heat 76kg of water from 15°C to 43°C to fill a bathtub?
Meteor Crater. About 50,000 years ago, a meteor crashed into the earth near present-day Flagstaff, Arizona. Measurements from 2005 estimate that this meteor had a mass of about kg (around 150,000 tons) and hit the ground at a speed of (a) How much kinetic energy did this meteor deliver to the ground? (b) How does this energy compare to the energy released by a 1.0-megaton nuclear bomb? (A megaton bomb releases the same amount of energy as a million tons of TNT, and 1.0 ton of TNT releases J of energy.
What is energy? List the types of energy?

Assume 1 serving of fried chicken is 320 calories. Consider that a food calorie is equal to about 4 kJ of energy, how much energy in a serving size of the fried chicken compares in other situations. For example, how does this compare to the amount of energy that's necessary to lift a fully-loaded pickup truck up three meters above the ground? Let's say the truck has a mass of 2500 kg. Create a Energy-Interaction Model, and determine how much energy is necessary to lift the truck.

Her energy is responsible for manyprocesses and the habitable temperatures on the Earth that make our life possible.(a) Calculate the amount of energy arriving on the Earth in a single day.(b) To how many litres of heating oil (energy density: 37.3 x 106J/litre) is this equivalent?(c) The Earth reflects 30% of this energy: Determine the temperature on Earth’s surface.(d) What other factors should be considered to get an even more precise temperature estimate?
Humanity's Energy Needs: Humankind's total annual energy need is approximately 4 x 10^20 J. a) What is this in Watts? b) The solar energy reaching the Earth is ~340 W/m^2. If we could collect 100% of the energy hitting 1/20th (5%) of the Earth's surface, and Earth's surface is 5x10^14 m^2, show that we could collect enough energy to meet all of humankind's annual energy needs in less than 12 hours. c) Alternatively, if we wanted to provide all of humankind's energy needs with wind power, how many 100 MW wind farms are needed? (Assume constant average energy use and no efficiency losses.)
