The energy flux from the sun has a peak value of around 1500 W/m2, and solar cells are around 15% efficient. Estimate the area needed to satisfy US energy needs using solar cells, using the estimates that there are about 350 million people in the US and that we use an average of 90 kW/person. Also assume that there are about 6 hours of "peak" sunlight per day. Answer in square kilometers (do not put units in your answer, however).

A sound speaker is rated at a voltage of P = 120.0 V and a current of Iurrenmt = 8.00 A Electrical power consumption is P = IV , where the units are: [W] = [A] [V] . To test the speaker, a signal of a sine wave is applied to the speaker. Assuming that the sound wave moves as a spherical wave and that all of the energy applied to the speaker is converted to sound energy, how far from the speaker is the intensity equal to I = 3.73 W/m ? Express your answer in m. Hint: remember, the intensity of a wave is I =
