The average electricity consumption of a house in Gainesville is known to be 1,007 kWh in a month (One month 30 days). They would like to install solar panels of 29 % 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 solar power per unit area at the Earth's distance from the sun--called the "solar constant"--is 1.36 kW/m^2. If a solar power station in a sunny location uses 20%-efficient solar panels, what area of panels is required to replace a 1.0 GW power plant at noon. Express the answer in square kilometers. 3676
How many kw-hr of energy does a 40 Watt light bulb use in one hour? B) FPL charges 10.8 cents per kw-hr of energy usage. How much did you spend running your 40 Watt light bulb for one hour?
Compact florescent light bulbs save energy when compared to traditional incandescent bulbs. Our green energy campaign includes efforts to get local residents to change their incandescent bulbs to florescent bulbs. Initially 184 households make the change. Market studies suggest that, in the absence of limiting factors, we could increase that number by 28% each month. In our target area, there are 246,744 households, which we take as the limiting value. Make a logistic model that gives the number of households converting to florescent bulbs after t months. (Use t as your variable. Round r to three decimal places.)
An electron is fired at a speed v = 3.1 x 10° m/s and at an angle 0, = 36.8° between two parallel conducting plates as shown in the figure. If s 1.8 mm and the voltage difference between the plates is AV = 98.8 V, determine how close, w, the electron will get to the bottom plate. Put your answer in meters and include at 6 decimal places in your answer. Do not include units. The x-axis of the coordinate system is in the middle of the parallel plate capacitor. !!

The consumption rate of electricity, in kW/h has increased, on average, at 4.5% per year. If it continues to increase at this rate indefinitely, find the number of years before the electric companies will need to double their generating capacity The electric company will need to double their generating capacity about every years. (Do not round until the final answer. Then round to the nearest tenth as needed)
You are trying to help a friend calculate their utilization rate for their study time. They can complete a maximum of 60 HW problems per hour. In the last hour, they were a little distracted but managed to complete 20 HW problems. What is their utilization rate (in %)? Calculate as a percentage (thus .05 would be entered as 5)
A retailer buys Dalmatian stuffies for $6 each. (Assume that the retailer has no other variable costs). The retailer can only charge by the dollar so no need to consider cents -- e.g., $3 is a price you could choose, $3.11 or $2.99 are not. The potential customers have the following WTP.
