You can make rain in your kitchen. Put a cup of water in a Pyrex saucepan or a glass coffeemaker and heat it slowly over a low flame. When the water is warm, place a saucer filled with ice cubes on top of the container. As the water below is heated, droplets form at the bottom of the cold saucer and combine until they are large enough to fall, producing a steady “rainfall” as the water below is gently heated. How does this resemble, and how does it differ from, the way in which natural rain is formed?
At a certain location, the solar power per unit area reaching Earth’s surface is 200 W/m2, averaged over a 24-hour day. If the average power requirement in your home is 3 kW and you can convert solar power to electric power with 10% efficiency, how large a collector area will you need to meet all your household energy requirements from solar energy? (Will a collector fit in your yard or on your roof?)
One liter of gasoline at pump costs $1.2. One US gallon of E85 (85% ethanol + 15% gasoline by volume) at pump costs $3.3 (both in Canadian dollars). Traveling from location A to location B via a compact car consumes about 448 MJ of fuel. Which fuel (gasoline or E85) will cost less for this trip?
Why is it preferable for airplanes to take off into the wind rather than with the wind?
The sun doesn’t shine as brightly in winter as it does in summer. This means that in winter you won’t generate enough to fulfil your energy needs whilst you have a surplus of energy in summer. It is therefore necessary to place a battery in your house to store the extra energy. If we assume that we generate 66% of our total energy in the months April to September and that we use equal amounts of energy throughout the year. How much electricity must we store over these 6 months to use in the other half of the year? Give your answer in 3 significant figures. Remember we use 2990kWh of electricity per year.
At a certain location, the solar power per unit area reaching Earth's surface is 200 W/ m^2, averaged over a 24-hour day. If the average power requirement in your home is 3 kW and you can convert solar power to electric power with 10 % efficiency, how large a collector area will you need to meet all your household energy requirements from solar energy? (Will a collector fit in your yard or on your roof? ).
46:56 WLwvimdGI A 52-kg package is lifted to the top shelf in a storage bin that is 4 m above the ground floor. How much increase in potential energy does the package get? O 1504733.118 Ib-ft 1937.104 BTU O 2040.48 kJ O 2.04 kJ
9. A physics student decides to “burn off” some Calories by climbing a ladder. As the ladder is ascended, some food energy is being converted to gravitational potential energy. (a) If the student has a mass of 75 kg, how tall a ladder is needed to burn off one Calorie (4190 J)? (b) Conversely, if the student only has a 3.5 m ladder, how much additional mass must he carry up with him to burn off the Calorie?
A high jumper of mass 90.1 kg consumes a meal of 2.40 × 103 kcal prior to a jump. If 3.30% of the energy from the food could be converted to gravitational potential energy in a single jump, how high could the athlete jump?

7. Review. Three forces acting on an object are given by F, V (-2.00î + 2.00j) N, and F, =(5.00î – 3.00j) N, and F (-45.0î) N. The object experiences an acceleration of mag- nitude 3.75 m/s². (a) What is the direction of the accelera- tion? (b) What is the mass of the object? (c) If the object is initially at rest, what is its speed after 10.0 s? (d) What are the velocity components of the object after 10.0 s? 3
