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

A defibrillator is used during a heart attack to restore the heart to its normal beating pattern. A defibrillator passes 18 A of
miskamm [114]

Answer:

q = 0.036 C

Explanation:

Given that,

Current passes through a defibrillator, I = 18 A

Time, t = 2 ms

We need to find the charge moved during this time. We know that,

Electric current = charge/time

q=It

Put all the values,

q=18\times 0.002\\\\q=0.036\ C

So, 0.036 C of charge moves during this time.

The atoms in a sidewalk on a hot summer day are vibrating _____ the atoms in the sidewalk on a freezing day in winter.
Karolina [17]

Answer:

(A) more rapidly than

Explanation:

With higher temperatures, object's molecules (and atoms) have higher kinetic energy which is due to faster "jiggling" (vibrations). On a hot day these vibrations in the material the sidewalk is made of are more rapid than on a cold day, just as their temperatures differ.
