We go out to sunbathe on a warm summer day. If we soak up 80 British thermal units per hour​ [BTU/h] of​ energy, how much will t

he temperature of 65 comma 000​-gram person increase in 2 hours ​[h] in units of degrees Celsius​ [°C]? We assume that since our bodies are mostly water they have the same specific heat as water ​(4.18 joules per gram degree Celsius​ [J/(g degrees Upper C​)]).

Answer:

0.62127°C

Explanation:

1\ BTU=1055\ J

80\ BTU/h=80\times 1055=84400\ J/h

Heat absorbed by body in 2 hours

Q=84400\times 2\\\Rightarrow Q=168800\ J

m = Mass of person = 65000 g

c = Specific heat of water = 4180 J/kg°C

\Delta T = Change in temperature

Heat is given by

Q=mc\Delta T\\\Rightarrow 168800=65\times 4180\times \Delta T\\\Rightarrow \Delta T=\dfrac{168800}{65\times 4180}\\\Rightarrow \Delta T=0.62127\ ^{\circ}C

The increase in temperature will be 0.62127°C

Contrast the atmosphere with the biosphere
4vir4ik [10]

The biosphere contains all the planet's living things. This sphere includes all of the microorganisms, plants, and animals of Earth. Within the biosphere, living things form ecological communities based on the physical surroundings of an area. These communities are referred to as biomes. Deserts, grasslands, and tropical rainforests are three of the many types of biomes that exist within the biosphere.

The atmosphere contains all the air in Earth's system. It extends from less than 1 m below the planet's surface to more than 10,000 km above the planet's surface. The upper portion of the atmosphere protects the organisms of the biosphere from the sun's ultraviolet radiation. It also absorbs and emits heat. When air temperature in the lower portion of this sphere changes, weather occurs. As air in the lower atmosphere is heated or cooled, it moves around the planet. The result can be as simple as a breeze or as complex as a tornado.

What is the square root of 25x10^12
kirill115 [55]

\sqrt{25 \times 10^{12} }

In order to find it's square root, we could make it into two square roots.

\sqrt{25 \times 10^{12} } = \sqrt{25} \times \sqrt{10^{12}}

Let us find the square roots of both radicals seprately.

\sqrt{25} =\sqrt{5*5}=5

Each  pair  of a number inside square root gives a number out .

\sqrt{10^{12}} = \sqrt{10*10*10*10*10*10*10*10*10*10*10*10}   \ \ ( \ makes \ 6 \ pairs \ of \ 10 )

\sqrt{10*10*10*10*10*10*10*10*10*10*10*10} = 10*10*10*10*10*10

= 10^6.

Therefore,

\sqrt{25 \times 10^{12} }=\sqrt{25} \times \sqrt{10^{12}}={5 \times 10^6}

\sqrt{25 \times 10^{12} } = {5 \times 10^6}

At what water temperature will additional heat energy need to be added before the temperature will change again?
Katyanochek1 [597]
That would be 0 degrees Celsius aka the melting point of water.... If you look at the diagram I attached you notice that at 0 degrees Celsius it is flat, this is because much heat is needed at this point for water to rise to 1 degree... It is the same for the boiling point (100)

Hope this helps! (If correct, please rank as brainliest answer) :)
