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.)

- What are the three forms of energy? Describe them briefly.arrow_forwardGive four ways to see Einstein's Theory of Relativity in real life. Provide a brief explanation of each and how these impact the life of humans.arrow_forwardplain your answer. The formula for potential energy is PE = m g h. In this formula, PE stands for potential energy (in joules), m stands for mass (in kilograms), h stands for height (in meters), and g stands for acceleration caused by gravity. On Earth's surface, g is 9.8 m/s?. This means that every second, the speed of a falling object increases by 9.8 m/s. Calculate the potential energy of a 20 kg sled at 40 meters. Show your work.
