Question

During light activity, a 70-kg person may generate 200 kcal

Answer 1

Answer:

$2.75387\ ^{\circ}$

Explanation:

m = Mass of person = 70 kg

c = Specific heat of human body = $0.83\ J/kg^{\circ}C$

$\Delta T$ = Change in temperature

Time taken is 1 hour

Heat is given by

$Q=mc\Delta T\\\Rightarrow \Delta T=\dfrac{Q}{mc}\\\Rightarrow \Delta T=\dfrac{0.8\times 200\times 1}{70\times 0.83}\\\Rightarrow \Delta T=2.75387\ ^{\circ}C$

The rise in temperature is $2.75387\ ^{\circ}C$
