LA 75 kg person cannot go out for a long time due to Covid-19 restrictions. That's why he rides a bike at home to keep his weight stable. During bicycling, his body produces energy at a rate of about 450 W due to metabolism, 80% of which is converted to heat. The person's body gets rid of all this heat by evaporating water (sweat). How many grams of water must the person's body evaporate in an hour? The heat of vaporization of water at body temperature is 2.42 x 10^6 J/kg.

Human Metabolism

Being described as the most complicated machine ever encountered by humans, the human body and the cell metabolism is nothing less than a wonder. Metabolism is the set of life-sustaining chemical reactions within organisms.

Question

A 75 kg person cannot go out for a long time due to Covid-19
restrictions. That's why he rides a bike at home to keep his weight
stable. During bicycling, his body produces energy at a rate of about
450 W due to metabolism, 80% of which is converted to heat. The
person's body gets rid of all this heat by evaporating water (sweat).
How many grams of water must the person's body evaporate in an
hour? The heat of vaporization of water at body temperature is 2.42 x
10^6 J/kg.

The urban heat island effect is often strongest at night when temperatures would typically drop. What does this indicate about energy transfer and the material used in the building? (a) The material in buildings releases more energy at night than it absorbs during the day (b) The material in buildings absorbs a lot of energy during the day and when it gets colder at night the energy is released back into the cooler air. (c) The material in buildings absorbs energy during the day and releases it because the temperature of the buildings is lower than the cooler air (d) The material in buildings releases a lot of energy into the hot air during the day so at night all of the energy is still there
