Textbook QuestionAssume that the nutritional content of an apple-say, 50 Cal (1 Cal = 1000 cal) - could be used to light a light bulb. For how many minutes would there be light from each of the following? (a) A 100-watt incandescent bulb (1 W = 1 J/s)661viewsHas a video solution.
Textbook QuestionThe solar power striking Earth every day averages 168 watts per square meter. The highest ever recorded electrical power usage in New York City was 13,200 MW. A record established in July of 2013. Considering that present tech- nology for solar energy conversion is about 10% efficient, from how many square meters of land must sunlight be collected in order to provide this peak power?
