Question

when it rains, water vapor in the air condenses intoliquid water and energy is released. How much energy is released when .0254 m of rain falls over anarea of 2.59x10^6 m^2? If the avg energy needed to heat one home for a year is1.5x10^11 J, how many homes can be heated with the erergydetermined in the first part of this problem. need help thanks when it rains, water vapor in the air condenses intoliquid water and energy is released.

Explanation / Answer

the pressure exerted by rain P = (F/A) or F = P * A P = 1.013 * 10^5 Pa and A = 2.59 * 10^6 m^2 energy released is E = F * h h = .0254 m the number of homes that can be heated with the erergydetermined in the first part of this problem is n = (E/1.5 * 10^11) substitute the values
