A 2.0 m2 solar panel is fully illuminated by sunlight. Assume the sunlight has a power density of 0.10 J/cm2 -s. a) If the efficiency of the solar panel is 16%, how much electrical energy will it deliver in one hour? b) If this energy is stored in a battery, how long will it keep a 100 W incandescent lightbulb burning if the bulb has an efficiency of 2.6%. (Efficiency of the lightbulb is the light out - - 100 W - to the electrical power in.)

Geothermal energy uses the subsurface level of the earth to heat up water converting it to steam and then using the steam to turn a turbine attached to a generator to generate electric energy. If the geothermal energy conversion process is 46% efficient and there was 789 J of electricity produced, how much energy did the steam have before reaching the turbine? answer 1715 eff=output/inputx 100
Assume that the normal human skin temperature is 308 K and that we emit thermal radiations. To estimate the surface area, consider human body as a cylinder with a height of 2m and a diameter of 0.5 m. What approximately is the power of the thermal radiation? (Note that this is not the net power because we also receiver the energy of thermal radiation of air at room temperature. 0.3W 50W 0.004 W 2000 W
