A nuclear power plant is planned to be constructed near Sydney. The plant is required to have an installed capacity of 1200 MW and will be operated for 7500 hours per year. Consider providing 1200 MW of energy by two solar power plants; one in Sydney and the other in Canberra. It is required that a fixed solar module be mounted. Determine the following parameters if the overall efficiency of the module is given as 15%:
a) The peak power of the solar generator at
each site.
b) The total solar generator area for each
site.
c) The amount of land area required at each
site.
d) Discuss any technical, environmental,
operational and financial implications of using solar power modules
at the two sites.

The owner of Gino’s Pizza restaurant chain believes that if a restaurant is located near a college campus, then there is a linear relationship between sales and the size of the student population. Suppose data are collected from a sample of n = 10 Gino’s Pizza restaurants located near college campuses with the following reported sample statistics:

X= Population (1000s) |
Y = Sales ($1000s) |

We want to find the equation of the least-squares regression line predicting quarterly pizza sales (y) from student population (x).
= .95 There is high or a true correlation between sales of pizza and student population. Because of high correlation, an upward slope linear relationship between x and y exists.

A student in a noon calculus class is watching two bugs near the center of a wall. One is an ant and the other is a beetle. At noon, the ant is 180 cm directly to the left of the beetle. The ant is crawling right at 30 cm/h and the beetle is crawling up at 45 cm/h. How fast is the distance between the bugs changing at 2:00 PM? Answer with an exact value. cm/h?

On a clear day the electric field in the atmosphere near the earth's surface is 100 N/C, directed vertically downward. (a) If we adopt the convention that the potential at the earth's surface is 0, what is the potential 492 m above the surface? (b) What is the potential at the top of Pike's Peak, 14,110 ft above sea level? (Hint: Do not assume that the surface in part (a) is at sea level.) Explain.

At the equator, the earth’s field is essentially horizontal; near the north pole, it is nearly vertical. In between, the angle varies. As you move farther north, the dip angle, the angle of the earth’s field below horizontal, steadily increases. Green turtles seem to use this dip angle to determine their latitude. Suppose you are a researcher wanting to test this idea. You have gathered green turtle hatchlings from a beach where the magnetic field strength is 50 μT and the dip angle is 56∘. You then put the turtles in a 2.0 m diameter circular tank and monitor the direction in which they swim as you vary the magnetic field in the tank. You change the field by passing a current through a 100-turn horizontal coil wrapped around the tank. This creates a field that adds to that of the earth.
A.) In what direction should current pass through the coil, to
produce a net field in the center of the tank that has a dip angle
of 62∘ ? [ANSWER: CLOCKWISE]
B.) What current should you pass through the coil, to produce a net
field in the center of the tank that has a dip angle of 62∘ ?
Please show step-by-step solution. Thank you!

A star near the visible edge of a galaxy travels in a uniform circular orbit. It is 48,400 ly (light-years) from the galactic center and has a speed of 275 km/s.
a) Estimate the total mass of the galaxy (billion solar mass) based on the motion of the star. Gravitational constant is 6.674×10−11 m3/(kg·s2) and mass of the Sun Ms=1.99 × 1030 kg.
b) The total visible mass (i.e., matter we can detect via electromagnetic radiation) of the galaxy is 1011 solar masses. What fraction of the total mass of the galaxy is visible, according to this estimate?
