Question

When it rains, water vapor in the air condenses into liquid water and energy is released. (A) how much water is released when 0.127 m of rain falls over an area of 1.04*10^7 m2?
(B) if the average energy needed to heat one home for a year is 1.59 x 10^11 J, how many homes could be heated for year with the energy determine in part (a)?

Explanation / Answer

volume of the rain is V=1.04*107*0.127 m3

if in 1 m3 the energy releases=E

then in above volume V energy would release=E*V

if 1.59*1011 energy is required to heat = 1 home

then E*V energy can heat=(E*V)/1.59*1011
