A habitat on Mars uses silicon solar panels that absorb heat from the sun, resulting in an increase in temperature only during times of sunlight. A silicon solar panel absorbs 68,750 calories per hour[cal/h] from the sun. Calculate the change in temperature in degrees Fahrenheit
[°F]
of the panel in
four
hours [h] if the panel has a mass of
205
kilograms [kg]. Note the specific heat of silicon is 0.7 joules per gram degree Celsius [J/(g
°C)].
Part 2
The change in temperature is
°F.
