A runner has a temperature of 40°c and is giving off heat at the rate of 50cal/s (a) What is the rate of heat loss in watts? (b)
Andrew [12]

Answer:

(a)  209 Watt

(b) 4482.8 seconds

Explanation:

(a) P = 50×4.18

Where P = rate of heat loss in watt

    P = 209 Watt

Applying,

Q = cm(t₁-t₂)................ Equation 1

Where Q = amount of heat given off, c = specific heat capacity capacity of human, m = mass of the person, t₁ and t₂ = initial and final temperature.

From the question,

Given: m = 90 kg, t₁ = 40°C, t₂ = 37°C

Constant: c = 3470 J/kg.K

Substtut these values into equation 1

Q = 90×3470(40-37)

Q = 936900 J

But,

P = Q/t.............. Equation 2

Where t = time

t = Q/P............ Equation 3

Given: P = 209 Watt, Q = 936900

Substitute into equation 3

t = 936900/209

t = 4482.8 seconds

A biochemical process that liberates energy content of food for living organs
jok3333 [9.3K]
Hello! 

The <span>biochemical process that liberates energy content of food for living organs is called catabolism.

Catabolism is a process in which big molecules like those in the food we eat are broken down into small ones that can be used by the living organism to obtain energy. The energy that is liberated in this process is stored in molecules of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). These molecules are used by cells to produce energy in the process called cellular respiration, catalyzed by the enzyme ATPase. 

Have a nice day!
