When energy shortages occur, magazine articles sometimes urge us to keep our homes at a constant temperature day and night to conserve fuel. They argue that when we turn down the heat at night, the walls, ceilings, and other areas cool off and must be reheated in the morning. So if we keep the temperature constant, these parts of the house will not cool off and will not have to be reheated. Does this argument make sense? Would we really save energy by following this advice?
#6. My buddy is starting to get hypothermic (body temperature 306 K) during an epic
backcountry ski adventure. Since I'm quite warm (body temperature 310 K), I decide to
get in a sleeping bag with him to try and warm him up. What heat transfer mechanism
will be most responsible for heating him up? For simplicity, ignore any internal temperature
differences across my body (that is, assume my skin temperature is also 310 K). Use num-
bers to support your answer (for human skin, you can use the following values: surface area
A = 1.50 m², emissivity € = 0.970, thickness d = 0.0250 m, thermal conductivty 0.200 ms.K)

- A pronghorn antelope can run at a remarkable 18 m/sm/s for up to 10 minutes, almost triple the speed that an elite human runner can maintain. For a 32 kgkg pronghorn, this requires an astonishing 3.4 kWkW of metabolic power, which leads to a significant increase in body temperature. If the pronghorn had no way to exhaust heat to the environment, by how much would its body temperature increase during this run? (In fact, it will lose some heat, so the rise won't be this dramatic, but it will be quite noticeable, requiring adaptations that keep the pronghorn's brain cooler than its body in such circumstances.) Assume the efficiency of the pronghorn to be equal to that of human.arrow_forwardThe loss of body heat via convection is described by which statement? The body gives off waves of heat from uncovered surfaces. An oscillating fan blows currents of cool air across the surface of a warm body. Body fluid in the form of perspiration is vaporized from the skin. The body transfers heat to an ice pack, causing the ice to melt.arrow_forwardYour granny normally took a hot 2L hot water bottle (covered with a thin towel and at 50 degrees Celsius) with her to bed on a very cold winters night and it worked quite well. She however decided to replace the water bottle with a huge 2 kg piece of iron (also covered with a towel at 50 degrees Celsius). She only used the 2kg piece of iron for one day and decided to rather always use the hot water bottle throughout the cold winter. Use your knowledge of Physics to explain why granny only used the hot piece of iron for ONE day and went back to using the hot water bottle aferwards.arrow_forward
