The average energy per unit time per unit area that reaches the upper atmosphere of the Earth from the Sun, called the solar con

stant, is 1.47 kW/m2. Because of absorption and re- flection by the atmosphere, about 0.9 kW/m2 reaches the surface of the earth on a clear day. How much energy is collected during 1 h of daylight by a window that measures 1.1 m by 1.5 m? The window is on a mount that rotates, keeping the window facing the sun so the sun's rays remain perpendicular to the window. Answer in units of MJ.

Answer: 5.34 MJ

Explanation: The window is a rectangle with area:

A = 1.1(1.5)

A = 1.65 m²

We know that only 0.9 kW/m² reaches Earth so:

P = 0.9\frac{kW}{m^{2}}(1.65)m^{2}

P = 1.485 x 10³ W

Watts is an unit of Power and it can also be written as J/s.

An hour has 3600s or 3.6 x 10³s, so:

E = 1.485 x 10³ \frac{J}{s}(3.6 x 10³s)

E = 5.346 x 10⁶ J

Mega is equal to 10⁶, then:

E = 5.35 MJ

A 1.1 m by 1.5 m window collects, during 1 hour of daylight, 5.35 MJ

Calculer l intensité du courant qui le traverse
MissTica

Answer:

Le calcul du courant se fait avec deux éléments : la tension et la valeur de la résistance. Courant (A) = tension (V) / résistance (Ohm) ce qui donne la formule I = U/R.
