Question:

Your one-story house has a floor area of \(2.0 \times 10^{2} \mathrm{~m}^{2}\) and 3. 0-m-high ceilings.

(a) On a hot day, you leave home with all the windows closed and the air-conditioning on. A power failure causes the air-conditioning to stop, and by the time you return home, the quantity of thermal energy you calculated in Problem 42 has been added to the inside air. By how many kelvins has the inside air temperature increased?

(b) How much thermal energy from the Sun would be required to raise the temperature in your house from \(24^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) to \(25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) ?

Data from Problem 42

You park your car in the sun with the windows rolled up, and the interior temperature rises from \(35^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) at \(100 \mathrm{kPa}\) to \(48^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\). The interior volume of your car is roughly \(1.5 \mathrm{~m} \times 2. 0 \mathrm{~m} \times 1. 0 \mathrm{~m}\).
