Power and energy Power and energy are often used interchangeably, but they are quite different. Energy is what makes matter move or heat up and is measured in units of joules (J) or Calories (Cal), where 1 Cal = 4184 J. One hour of walking consumes roughly \(10^{6} \mathrm{J},\) or \(250 \mathrm{Cal} .\) On the other hand, power is the rate at which energy is used and is measured in watts \((\mathrm{W} ; 1 \mathrm{W}=1 \mathrm{J} / \mathrm{s})\) Other useful units of power are kilowatts ( \(1 \mathrm{kW}=10^{3} \mathrm{W}\) ) and megawatts ( \(1 \mathrm{MW}=10^{6} \mathrm{W}\) ). If energy is used at a rate of \(1 \mathrm{kW}\) for 1 hr, the total amount of energy used is 1 kilowatt-hour \((\mathrm{kWh})=\) which is \(3.6 \times 10^{6} \mathrm{J}\) Suppose the power function of a large city over a \(24-\mathrm{hr}\) period is given by $$P(t)=E^{\prime}(t)=300-200 \sin \frac{\pi t}{12}$$ where \(P\) is measured in megawatts and \(t=0\) corresponds to 6:00 P.M. (see figure). a. How much energy is consumed by this city in a typical \(24-\mathrm{hr}\) period? Express the answer in megawatt-hours and in joules. b.

Fission of 1 g of uranium- 235 (U-235) produces about \(16,000 \mathrm{kWh}\) of energy. How many grams of uranium are needed to meet the energy needs of the city for 1 day? For 1 year? d. A typical wind turbine can generate electrical power at a rate of about \(200 \mathrm{kW}\). Approximately how many wind turbines are needed to meet the average energy needs of the city?
