2. What is energy? Explain why scientists care about this concept as part of their work.
Solar energy reaching the earth is about 1350 W/m2 outside the earth’s atmosphere, and 950 W/m2 on earth’s surface normal to the sun on a clear day. Someone is marketing 2 m * 3 m photovoltaic cell panels with the claim that a single panel can meet the electricity needs of a house. How do you evaluate this claim? Photovoltaic cells have a conversion efficiency of about 15 percent.
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.)

- (a) Use of hydrogen fusion to supply energy is a dream that may be realized in the next century. Fusion would be a relatively clean and almost limitless supply of energy, as can be seen from Table 7.1. To illustrate this, calculate how many years the present energy needs of the world could be supplied by one millionth of the oceans' hydrogen fusion energy. (b) How does this time compare with historically significant events, such as the duration of stable economic systems?arrow_forwardUnder normal conditions the human heart converts about 13.0 J of chemical energy per second into 1.30 W of mechanical power as it pumps blood throughout the body. (a) Determine the number of Calories required to power the heart for one day, given that 1 Calorie equals 4 186 J. (b) Metabolizing 1.00 kg of fat can release about 9.00 103 Calories of energy.

(These electrons were not dangerous in themselves, but they did create dangerous x rays. Later model tube TVs had shielding that absorbed x rays before they escaped and exposed viewers.)arrow_forwardAn older-model car accelerates from 0 to speed v in a time interval of t. A newer, more powerful sports car accelerates from 0 to 2v in the same time period. Assuming the energy coming from the engine appears only as kinetic energy of the cars, compare the power of the two cars.arrow_forward
- If the energy in fusion bombs were used to supply the energy needs of the world, how many of the 9-megaton variety would be needed for a year's supply of energy (using data from Table 7.1)? This is not as far-fetched as it may sound there are thousands of nuclear bombs, and their energy can be trapped in underground explosions and converted to electricity, as natural geothermal energy is.arrow_forwardImagine you are driving a car up Pike’s Peak in Colorado. To raise a car weighing 1000 kilograms a distance of 100 meters would require about a million joules. You could raise a car 12.5 kilometers with the energy in a gallon of gas. Driving up Pike’s Peak (a mere 3000-meter climb) should consume a little less than a quart of gas. But other considerations have to be taken into account. Explain, in terms of efficiency, what factors may keep you from realizing your ideal energy use on this trip.arrow_forwardWork done on a system puts energy into it Work done by a system removes energy from it Give an example for each statement.arrow_forward
