Discovery Lab 10: Power Home
Due Nov 10 at 7pm Points 10 Questions 5
Time Limit None Allowed Attempts Unlimited
Instructions
How many homes can be serviced by a 1GW (1e9 watt) power station?
All numbers must be entered as decimal numbers. Examples include
5000 or 5e3 or 5.0e3. Do not enter numbers with commas as in
"5,000" and not as fractions as in “3/4”, and not in percentages as in
“25%”. That Canvas may reformat your number with commas is not
important and not relevant.
Always use nice round numbers for estimates. One significant
digit is often enough. Make the numbers easy to multiple and
divide in your head. Three significant digits is way too many.
You know a lot from everyday life - learn to use it and trust it.
Be sure to use our useful numbers and handy formulas sheet, and
our spiral energy diagram. These are in our “Let’s Get Started! “
section of the course.
