The average electricity consumption of a house in
Gainesville is known to be 1,036 kWh in a month
(One month = 30 days). They would like to install
solar panels of 30 % 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
E swer to a whole number (zero decimal place.)
Amy 68 kg in mass eat a Sausage 'N Egg McMuffin and drink a medium size orange
juice for breakfast. After breakfast, she decides to "work off" all the consumed energies by running
up a 5-degree slope trail at 15 km/h. [Answer in 2 significant figures] Use 1 cal = 4.184 J.

What is the necessary metabolic power for Amy? [Hint: You can model her power needs
as the sum of the power to walk on level ground plus the power needed to raise her body by the
appropriate amount. Assume that the efficiency of the body in using energy is 25%]
How far did Amy run to work off all the energies she consumed?

- Many decisions are made on the basis of the payback period: the time it will take through savings to equal the capital cost of an investment. Acceptable payback times depend upon the business or philosophy one has. (For some industries, a payback period is as small as two years.) Suppose you wish to install the extra insulation. If energy cost $1.00 per million joules and the insulation was $4.00 per square meter, then calculate the simple payback time.

(ha = 104 m²). Now, think about a large eighteenth-century city, which is located near a very large forest, would have required at least 20-30 W/m² of its built-up area for heating, cooking, and artisanal manufacturers.
