- . On a winter day, the air temperature is — 15°C, and the humidity is 0,001 kg/m3. (a) What is the relative humidity? (b) When this air is brought inside a building, it is heated to 20°C. If the humidity isn't changed, what is the relative humidity inside the building?arrow_forward(a) What is the rate of heat conduction through the 3.00-cm-thick fur of a large animal having a 1.40m2 surface area? Assume that the animal’s skin temperature is 32.0C, that tile air temperature is 5.00C, and that fur has the same thermal conductivity as air. (b) What food intake will the animal need in one day to replace this heat transfer?arrow_forward(a) How many kilograms of water must evaporate from a 60.0-kg woman to lower her body temperature by 0.750C ? (b) Is this a reasonable amount of water to evaporate in the form of perspiration, assuming the relative humidity of the surrounding air is low?arrow_forward
- (a) What is me vapor pressure of water at 20.0C ? (b) What percentage of atmospheric pressure does this correspond to? (c) What percent of 20.0C air is water vapor if it has 100% relative humidity? (The density of dry air at 20.0C is 1.20kg/m3 .)arrow_forwardA glass windowpane in a home is 0.620 cm thick and has dimensions of 1.00 in 2.00 in. On a certain day, the temperature of the interior surface of the glass is 25.0C and the exterior surface temperature is 0C. (a) What is the rate at which energy is transferred by heat through the glass? (b) How much energy is transferred through the window in one day, assuming the temperatures on the surfaces remain constant?arrow_forwardThe Surface temperature of the Sun is about 5750 K. What is this temperature on the Fahrenheit scale?arrow_forward

How many degrees Celsius does me temperature decrease when there is a 40.0F decrease in temperature? (b) Show that any change in temperature in Fahrenheit degrees is nine—?fths the change in Celsius degrees.arrow_forward(a) How much heat transfer is required to raise the temperature of a 0.750kg aluminum pot containing 2.50 kg of water from 30.0C to the boiling point and then boil away 0.750 kg of water? (b) How long does this take if the rate of heat transfer is 500 W 1watt=ljoule/second(lW=lJ/s) ?arrow_forwardUnreasonable Results Suppose the relative humidity is 80% on a day when the temperature is 30.0C.
