How much solar energy (kJ) would have to be transferred to a 59.0 meter length of asphalt highway that is 14.0 meter wide and 20.1 centimeters deep in order to raise the temperature 5.00 oC ?
The average density of asphalt is 721 kg/m3
The specific heat of asphalt is 0.920 kJ/kg-oC
59m x 14m x 0.20m = 165.2 m3
165.2m3 x 721 kg / m3 = 119 Mg
119109 kg x 5 oC x 0.920 kJ/ kg-oC = 548 MJ
