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.)

- In the simple kinetic theory of a gas we discussed in class, the molecules are assumed to be point-like objects (without any volume) so that they rarely collide with one another. In reality, each molecule has a small volume and so there are collisions. Let's assume that a molecule is a hard sphere of radius r. Then the molecules will occasionally collide with each other. The average distance traveled between two successive collisions (called mean free path) is λ = V/(4π √2 r2N) where V is the volume of the gas containing N molecules. Calculate the mean free path of a H2 molecule in a hydrogen gas tank at STP. Assume the molecular radius to be 10-10 a) 2.1*10-7 m b) 4.2*10-7 m c) none of these.arrow_forwardTwo containers of equal volume each hold samples of the same ideal gas.

The gas is then warmed in a two-step process that increases the pressure by a factor of four and the volume by a factor of five. Determine the amount of energy transferred to the gas by heat if the first step is carried out at constant volume and the second step at constant pressure. (Use any variable or symbol stated above as necessary.) Q = 63.5 The gas is in three different states. See if you can determine the pressure, volume, and temperature for each state and then the change in temperature during the two processes. Find expressions for the amount of heat supplied during isovolumetric and isobaric processes. Knowing the amounts of heat supplied during each process, how can you determine the total amount of heat supplied?arrow_forward
