The total annual U. S. energy consumption is about 2×1020 joules. Part A What is the average power requirement for the United States, in watts? (Hint: 1 watt = 1 joule/s) Paverage = W

6.34 × 10¹² W

Explanation:

Given:

Annual consumption of energy in U.S. (E) = 2 × 10²⁰ J

Average power requirement is,

Now, we are given annual energy consumption. So, this means that, the energy consumption in a year is given.

Now, let us calculate the number of seconds in a year.

We know that,

1 year = 365 days

1 day = 24 hours

1 hour = 60 min

1 min = 60 s

Therefore, 1 year = 365 × 24 × 60 × 60 = 31536000 s

Now, the average power requirement in a year is given by the formula:

Plug in the values given and solve for average power. This gives,

Therefore, the average power requirement for the United States, in watts is 6.34 × 10¹² W

a. is the answer because they are not shared

hi i’m sorry to call us today so we will get back with y’all and we will have to do it haha omg was the day
