In a solar water heater, energy from the sun is gathered by water that circulates through tubes in a rooftop collector. The solar radiation enters the collector through a transparent cover and warms the water in the tubes; this water is pumped into a holding tank. Assume that the overall efficiency of the system is 20% (that is, 80% of the incident solar energy is lost from the system). What collector area is necessary to raise the temperature of 400 L (L = liters) of water in the tank from 20 C to 40 C in 1.0 hr when the intensity of incident sun light is 750 W/m^2? You need to know that the density of water is 1 kg/L.

An astronaut in space cannot use a scale or balance to weigh objects because there is no gravity. but she does have devices to measure distance and time accurately. she knows her own mass is 77.4 kg , but she is unsure of the mass of a large gas canister in the airless rocket. when this canister is approaching her at 3.50 m/s , she pushes against it, which slows it down to 1.30 m/s (but does not reverse it) and gives her a speed of 2.60 m/s . what is the mass of the canister?
