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

Which part of a river would have animals with very muscular bodies and adaptations that let survive in turbulent water? Source z
lidiya [134]
The part of a river that would have animals with muscular bodies and adaptations that let survive in turbulent water is in the transition zone, the mid-transition zone to be precise. Water at the source zone possesses a lot of potential energy and as it flows from the upper reaches the potential energy is turned into kinetic energy when the course of the river begins to gradually level out and this translates into increase in velocity. By the time river water reaches the middle of the transition zone, most of the potential energy would have been turned into kinetic energy and thus water velocity would be quite high here. Animals living here would develop muscles because of constantly fighting against the strong current to avoid being swept downstream.

Which of the following represents a chemical change to matter? A. digestion of food B. melting an ice cube C. shredding paper D.
guajiro [1.7K]
The answer is A. digestion of food. The chemical change to matter means that the molecule structure has been destroyed. For B, C and D. the matter are still ice, paper and ice. So they are physical change.
