A person's body is producing energy internally due to metabolic processes. If the body loses more energy than metabolic processe

s are generating, its temperature will drop. If the drop is severe, it can be life-threatening. Suppose that a person is unclothed and energy is being lost via radiation from a body surface area of 1.36 m2, which has a temperature of 34° C and an emissivity of 0.700. Also suppose that metabolic processes are producing energy at a rate of 122 J/s. What is the temperature of the coldest room in which this person could stand and not experience a drop in body temperature

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the Stefan-Boltzman law that is responsible for calculating radioactive energy.

Mathematically this expression can be given as

P = \sigma Ae\Delta T^4

Where

A = Surface area of the Object

\sigma = Stefan-Boltzmann constant

e = Emissivity

T = Temperature (Kelvin)

Our values are given as

A = 1.36m^2

\Delta T^4 = T_2^4 -T_1^4 = 307^4-T_1^4

\sigma = 5.67*10^{-8} J/(s m^2 K^4)

P = 122J/s

e = 0.7

Replacing at our equation and solving to find the temperature 1 we have,

P = \sigma Ae\Delta T^4

P = \sigma Ae (T_2^4 -T_1^4)

122 = (5.67*10^{-8})(1.36)(0.7)(307^4-T_1^4)

T_1 = 285.272K = 12.122\°C

Therefore the the temperature of the coldest room in which this person could stand and not experience a drop in body temperature is 12°C

HEY THERE !!

\huge{COMPOUND:-}
Compounds contain two or more different elements. 


Water is a molecule because it contains molecular bonds . Water is also a compound  because it is made from more than one kind of element. (oxygen and hydrogen).

So If you like, you can say that water is a molecular compound.

A 2.00-kg rock has a horizontal velocity of magnitude 12.0 m>s when it is at point P in Fig. E10.35. (a) At this instant, wha
zaharov [31]

Answer:

(A) L = 115.3kgm²/s

(B) dL/dt = 94.1kgm²/s²

Explanation:

The magnitude of the angular momentum of the rock is given by the foemula

L = mvrSinθ

We have been given θ = 36.9°, m = 2.0kg, v = 12.0m/s and r = 8.0m.

Therefore L = 2.00 × 12 × 8.0 × Sin 36.9° =

115.3 kgm²/s

(B) The magnitude of the rate of angular change in momentum is given by

dL /dt = d(mvrSinθ)/dt = mgrSinθ = 2.00 × 9.8 × 8.0× Sin36.9 = 94.1kgm²/s²
