The average electricity consumption of a house in Gainesville is known to be 924 kWh in a month (One month= 30 days). They would like to install solar panels of 24 % efficiency to generate this electricity. Given that the average solar power density in Gainesville is 5.47 kWh/m2/day, how much surface area must the panels occupy? Calculate the result in m² but do not write the unit. Round off you answer to a whole number (zero decimal place.)

The trend in average space per worker has dropped from 250 sf to 150 sf in the past few years. In comparative terms, how does that trend affects the OCCUPANCY COST, and the DENSITY of office space? The higher the occupancy cost, the lower the density The higher the occupancy cost, the higher the density The lower the occupancy cost, the lower the density The lower the occupancy cost, the higher the density
Two vectors have the following magnitude, A = 14.1 m and B = 7.9 m. Their vector product is: AxB = -2.9 mi+ 11.1 m k. What is the angle (in degrees) between the vectors A and B? Hint: Use |AxB| = AB sin(0) Note: Bold face letters represents a vector.
In one of the videos I said that a typical American household uses energy at a rate of about 10,000 joules per second. A shorthand unit for this would be "10 kilowatts". Using energy at this rate costs about $1.50 per hour (this is not quite right, as it assumes that all the energy is electrical energy, which is relatively cheap, but let's go with this for an estimate). How much does this energy usage cost for a year?

A vertical right-circular cylindrical tank measures 28 ft high and 14 ft in diameter. It is full of liquid weighing 62.4 lb/ft³. How much work does it take to pump the liquid to the level of the top of the tank? Set up the integral that gives the work required, in ft-lb, with y = 0 corresponding to the bottom of the tank. (Type an exact answer, using as needed.)
For centuries, the people of Paradis Island have been isolated from the rest of the world. The SI units are unknown to them. Expeditions sent to the island revealed that they created their own system of units, and some of their findings are summarized in Tables 1 and 2. To help the Paradisians advance technologically, people from the outside are planning to construct a power plant on the island. The plant produces an average of 875.9 gigawatts (GW) of power. A. Calculate the average power rating of the plant in Arlert (R). (1 W = 1 kg.m²/s³) B. Calculate the energy produced by the plant in 5.400 x 104 s of operation. Express the result in Yeager (Y). (1 J = 1 W-s = 1 kg.m²/s²) (Note: Power = energy/time) C. How many households can be powered by the plant after 5.400 x 104 s of operation if each house consumes 1.50 x 1011 Y of energy?
The average cost per item to produce q items is given by a(q) = 0.01q² - 0.6q+17, for q>0. What is the total cost, C(q), of producing a goods? C(q) = What is the minimum marginal cost? minimum MC = (Be sure you can say what the practical interpretation of this result is!) At what production level is the average cost a minimum? q= What is the lowest average cost? minimum average cost = Compute the marginal cost at q = 30. MC(30) = How does this relate to your previous answer? Explain this relationship both analytically and in words.
the average density of an atom is approximately 103 kg/m3. The nucleus of an atom has a radius about 10-5 times that of the entire atom, and contains nearly all the mass of the atom. What is the approximate density, in kilograms per cubic meter, of a nucleus?
