It is a cold winter day in the author’s neighborhood. One of the houses is heated with a reversible heat pump that uses the outside air as the cold reservoir. Suppose 40,000 J of energy are lost from the house due to heat conduction through the walls, windows, and one broken window. Estimate how much energy must be used by the heat pump (as input through mechanical work) to compensate for this loss of energy.
