The basal metabolic rate is the rate at which energy is produced in the body when a person is at rest. A 157 lb (71.0 kg ) perso

n of height 5.91 ft(1.80 m ) would have a body surface area of approximately 1.90 m2 .
Reqiuired:
a. What is the net amount of heat this person could radiate per second into a room at 19.0 ∘C (about 66.2∘F) if his skin's surface temperature is 31.0 ∘C? (At such temperatures, nearly all the heat is infrared radiation, for which the body's emissivity is 1.00, regardless of the amount of pigment.)

b. Normally, 80.0 % of the energy produced by metabolism goes into heat, while the rest goes into things like pumping blood and repairing cells. Also normally, a person at rest can get rid of this excess heat just through radiation. Use your answer to part A to find this person's basal metabolic rate(BMR).

Answer:

A. Net amount of heat radiated = 109.2W

B. Person's basal energy = 136.5

Explanation:

Part A:

Area of person, A = 1.90 m^2

Temperature of person , T = 31 C

T = 304 K

Temperature of surroundings , To = 19 C

To = 282 K

Now, net amount of heat radiated = e*A*sigma *(T^4 - To^4)

Net amount of heat radiated = 1 * 1.8 * 5.6703 *10^-8 *(304^4 - 294^4)

Net amount of heat radiated = 109.2 W

The net amount of heat radiated is 109.2 W

Part B:

Person's basal energy = net amount of heat radiated /(0.80)

Person's basal energy = 109.2/0.80

Person's basal energy = 136.5 W

Person's basal energy is 136.5 W

A vibrating tuning fork is held over a water column with one end closed and the other open. As the water level is allowed to fal
DiKsa [7]

Answer:

630 Hz.

Explanation:

As we are considering the one end open pipe. So for the sound wave there will be a pressure node at the open end of the tube as at that place the molecules can not move back and forth. However on the closed end there will be a flow node as the water molecules their are moving back and forth. So it will produces the resonance at the positions 1/4, 3/4.......

we can find the wavelength by multiplying the levels distance by 2.

λ = 2 × 0.27 m = 0.54

f = Vs/λ

  = 340/0.54

  = 630 Hz

A series R-L-C circuit is connected to a 70.0 Hz ac source that has Vrms = 80.0 V . The circuit has a resistance of 80.0 Ω and a
Andreyy89

Answer:

62.7 VA

Explanation:

The apparent power (power supplied by the source) of an AC circuit is determined by

S = \frac{(Vrms)^2}{Z}

The impedance(Z) depends on the frequency, but in this case it is given to us that it is 102 ohms at this frequency.

So:

S = \frac{(80 V)^2}{102 \Omega} = 62.7 VA
