Answer to Question 1

On the first day of summer, the sun is at the latitude of the observer plus 23.4o at noon.

Answer to Question 2

For three series modules:

VTOT = (3 modules)(12 V/module) = 36 V

ITOT = PTOT/VTOT = 2 kW/36 V = 55.6 A total current to obtain 2 kW out. Number of 3 series modules in parallel = 55.6 A/4 A = 14 groups
The configuration consists of 14 groups in parallel; each group has 3 series modules for a total of 42 modules.

Dogs have been used in studies to detect various cancers in human subjects. They have been trained to sniff breath samples from humans that were collected by having them breathe into special tubes. These people included 55 lung cancer patients, 31 breast cancer patients, and 83 cancer-free patients. The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).
