D) $3.6 \times 10 ^ { 11 }$ Joules per person per second

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To find energy consumption per person per second, divide the total energy by the population and the number of seconds in a year: $ \frac{1 \times 10^{20}}{280 \times 10^6 \times 31,536,000} \approx 11,324.9 $ Joules per person per second.
