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

Objects that are denser than water will sink in water. Question 1 options: True False
den301095 [7]
<h3>Answer: True</h3>

For example, a very dense metal will sink to the bottom while something like wood will float on the surface. The wood is less dense compared to the water, which is why it floats. Density is the measure of how much stuff you can pack in a certain volume. The higher the density, the more stuff per volume. Think of it like packing a suitcase. If there's barely anything in there, then we can say its density is low. The more stuff crammed in the suitcase will increase the density (and therefore the weight), while keeping the volume the same.

Which of the following is a process that occurs at divergent boundaries?
PIT_PIT [208]
The appropriate answer is 4. The formation of Mid-Ocean ridges. There are two types of divergent margins: continental separation and oceanic floor spreading. Where the sea floor separates magma upwells and new oceanic crust is formed. Mid ocean ridges are home to hydrothermal vents. These support a unique ecosystem of marine organisms. The Mid- Atlantic Ridge where the African and Eurasian plates separate from the North and South American plates.

A 4.44 l container holds 15.4 g of oxygen at 22.55°c. what is the pressure?
padilas [110]
We will use the ideal gas equation:
PV = nRT, where n is moles and equal to mass / Mr
P = mRT/MrV
P = 15.4 x 8.314 x (22.55 + 273) / 32 x 4.44
P = 266.3 kPa

9. A 227 kg object is moved a distance of 2.4 m forward by a force. If 686 J of work is done on the object, what is the object’s
Korolek [52]

<em>1</em><em>.</em><em>259ms^2</em>

Explanation:

since, WORK DONE = FORCE*DISTANCE

AND, FORCE=MASS*ACCELERATION

SO, THE WORK DONE BECOMES=MASS*ACCELERATION*DISTANCE

ACCELERATION=WORK/(MASS*DISTANCE)

AND, WORK=686J

MASS=227kg

DISTANCE=2.4m

THEREFORE, ACCELERATION=686/(227*2.4)

=686/544.8

=1.259ms^2
