Under a tension F, it takes 2.00 s for a pulse to travel the length of a taut wire. What tension is required (in terms of F) for the pulse to take 6.00 s instead? Explain how you arrive at your answer.
Energy from the Sun arrives at the top of the Earth's atmosphere with an intensity of 1.30 kW/m2. How long does it take for 2.39 109 J of energy to arrive on an area of 1.00 m2? This is the average monthly electrical energy consumption of a family of four in the United States.
The total power consumption by all humans on earth is approximately 1013 W. Let’s compare this to the power of incoming solar radiation. The intensity of radiation from the sun at the top of the atmosphere is 1380 W/m2. The earth’s radius is 6.37 × 106 m.a. What is the total solar power received by the earth?b. By what factor does this exceed the total human power consumption?
