The intensity of sunlight at the distance of the Earth's orbit is 1380 W/m2. An Earth-orbiting satellite has a solar panel that measures 1.35 m by 4.86 m, which converts solar energy to electrical energy with an efficiency of 26%. In one hour, how much electrical energy does the panel produce? Assume that the satellite's attitude control jets keep the panel oriented perpendicular to the incoming sunlight.

The total consumption of electrical energy in the United States isabout 1.0 x 10^19 joules per year.

1. What is the average rate of electrical energy consumption inwatts?

2. If the population of the United States is 300 million, what isthe average rate of electrical energy consumption per person?

3. The sun transfers energy to the earth by radiation at a rate ofapproximately 1.0kW per square meter of surface. If this energycould be collected and converted to electrical energy with 40%efficiency, how great an area (in square kilometers) would berequired to collect the electrical energy used by the UnitedStates?
