- Define the terms renewable and nonrenewable as applied to energy resources. Which of the following energy resources are renewable: solar energy, coal, natural gas, geothermal energy, wind power?arrow_forwardThe best solar panels currently available are about 15% efficient in converting sunlight to electricity. A typical home will use about 40. kWh of electricity per day (1 kWh = 1 kilowatt hour; 1kW = 1000 J/s). Assuming 8.0 hours of useful sunlight per day, calculate the minimum solar panel surface area necessary to provide all of a typical homes electricity. (See Exercise 124 for the energy rate supplied by the sun.)arrow_forwardA piece of chocolate cake contains about 400 calories. A nutritional calorie is equal to 1000 calories (thermochemical calories), which is equal to 4.184 kJ. How many 8-in-high steps must a 180-lb man climb to expend the 400 Cal from the piece of cake? See Exercise 28 for the formula for potential energy.arrow_forward
- Assume that electricity costs 15 cents per kilowatt- hour. Calculate the monthly cost of operating each of the following: a 100 W light bulb, 5 h/day a 600 W refrigerator, 24 h/day a 12,000 W electric range, 1 h/day a 1000 W toaster, 10 min/dayarrow_forwardCalculating Energy Use in Kilowatt-Hours What is the yearly cost of operating a 100-W television for 2 hours per day, assuming the cost of electricity is 15 cents per kilowatt-hour?arrow_forwardNiagara Falls has a height of 167 ft (American Falls). What is the potential energy in joules of 1.00 lb of water at the top of the falls if we take water at the bottom to have a potential energy of zero? What would be the speed of this water at the bottom of the falls if we neglect friction during the descent of the water?arrow_forward
- Some solar-heated homes use large beds of rocks to store heat. (a) How much heat is absorbed by 100.0 kg of rocks if their temperature increases by 12C? (Assume that c=0.82J/gC.) (b) Assume that the rock pile has total surface area 2 m2. At maximum intensity near the earth's surface, solar power is about 170 watts/m2. (1watt=1J/s.) How many minutes will it take for solar power to produce the 12C increase in part (a)?arrow_forwardIn a bomb calorimeter, the reaction vessel is surrounded by water that must be added for each experiment. Since the amount of water is not constant from experiment to experiment, the mass of water must be measured in each case. The heat capacity of the calorimeter is broken down into two parts: the water and the calorimeter components. If a calorimeter contains 1.00 kg water and has a total heat capacity of 10.84 kJ/C, what is the heat capacity of the calorimeter components?arrow_forwardExplain why oceanfront areas generally have smaller temperature fluctuations than inland areas.arrow_forward
- What mass of carbon monoxide must be burned to produce 175 kJ of heat under standard state conditions?arrow_forwardHigh-quality audio amplifiers generate large amounts of heat. To dissipate the heat and prevent damage to the electronic components, heat-radiating metal fins are used. Would it be better to make these fins out of iron or aluminum? Why? (See Table 7- l for specific heat capacities.)arrow_forward9.71 In recent years, the notion of a “smart grid” has emerged. Do a web search and research the smart grid concept. How would the smart grid differ from the traditional grid?arrow_forward
