(a) A woman climbing the Washington Monument metabolizes 6.00×102kJ of food energy. If her efficiency is 18.0%, how much heat transfer occurs to the environment to keep her temperature constant? (b) Discuss the amount of heat transfer found in (a). Is it consistent with the fact that you quickly warm up when exercising?

Respuesta :

Answer:

a)

492 kJ

b)

Consistent

Explanation:

Q = Heat stored by woman from food = 600 k J

η = Efficiency of woman = 18% = 0.18

Q' = heat transferred to the environment

heat transferred to the environment is given as

Q' = (1 - η) Q

Inserting the values

Q' = (1 - 0.18) (600)

Q' = 492 kJ

b)

Yes the amount of heat transfer is consistent. The process of sweating produces the heat and keeps the body warm
