Answer:

The heat from the sun melted it

Explanation:

If the street runs east to west, houses on the south (across the street) will project shadows on their sidewalk, while the northern sidewalk will be illuminated. This is for the northern hemisphere, on the southern hemisphere it would be the other way around.

Answer:

15.24°C

Explanation:

The quality of any heat pump pumping heat from cold to hot place is determined by its coefficient of performance (COP) defined as

COP=\frac{Q_{in}}{W}

Where Q_{in} is heat delivered into the hot place, in this case, the house, and W is the work used to pump heat

You can think of this quantity as similar to heat engine's efficiency

In our case, the COP of our heater is

COP_{heater} = \frac{\frac{4500\ kJ}{3600\ s} *(T_{house}-T_{out})}{4\ kW}

Where T_{house} = 24°C and T_{out} is temperature outside

To achieve maximum heating, we will have to use the most efficient heat pump, and, according to the second law of thermodynamics, nothing is more efficient that Carnot Heat Pump

Which has COP of:

COP_{carnot}=\frac{T_{house}}{T_{house}-T_{out}}

So we equate the COP of our heater with COP of Carnot heater

\frac{1.25 *(T_{house}-T_{out})}{4}=\frac{T_{house}}{T_{house}-T_{out}}

Rearrange the equation

\frac{1.25}{4}(24-T_{out})^2-24=0

Solve this simple quadratic equation, and you should get that the lowest outdoor temperature that could still allow heat to be pumped into your house would be

15.24°C
