Compare the costs of generating electricity using solar energy in different parts of the united states. a. (5 points) let us consider a simple 25.m2 rooftop installation of crystalline-silicon (c-si) pv modules. now remember that pv modules are rated to receive 1kw/m2 of solar radiation. assuming peak solar irradiation of 1 kw/m22, what would the peak output of this system be (in kw) if the modules are 16% efficient? b. (10 points) compute the annualized cost for this type of pv module (in $/year), assuming for simplicity that operating costs can be ignored. assume a 6.0% discount rate and 25-year lifetime. initial cost unit value ($) module cost $/watt 2.20 permitting and inspection cost $/watt 0.25 installation labor cost $/watt 0.90 inverter cost $/watt 0.50 c. (10 points) now, consider how much electricity our pv system from part (a) will actually be able to generate in different cities based on variation in insolation levels. calculate the annual electricity generated by our pv system and the levelized cost of solar energy in san francisco, ca (2,500 kwh/m2-year); new york city, ny (1,600 kwh/m2-year); detroit, mi(1,500 kwh/m2-year); and flagstaff, az(3,200 kwh/m2-year). d. (5 points) calculate the simple payback period for your solar system in san francisco. assume that your household consumes 15,000kwh/year.

Jason and mia are both running in a race. as they approach the finish line, you being the physicist that you are decide to time how long it takes them to reach the end of the race. when you start your stop watch (you can take this as time t = 0 s) you notice that mia is an unknown distance d ahead of jason and both are moving with the same initial velocity v_0. you also notice that jason is accelerating at a constant rate of a_j, while mia is deaccelerating at a constant rate of -a_m. jason and mia meet each other for the first time at time t = t_1. at this time (t = t_1) jason's velocity is two times that of mia's velocity, meaning v_j (t_1) = 2v_m (t_1). a) draw the position vs. time graph describing mia's and jason's motion from time t = 0 to time t = t_1. clearly label your axes and initial conditions on your graph. b) draw the velocity vs. time graph describing mia and jason's motion from time t = 0s to time t = t_1. clearly label your axes and initial conditions on your graph. c) how long from when the stop watch was started at t = 0s did it take mia and jason to meet? express your answer in terms of know quantities v_0, a_m, and a_j. d) when the stop watch started at time t = 0s, how far apart, d, were mia and jason? express your answer in terms of know quantities v_0, a_m, and a_j.
