During a marathon race David uses energy at a rate of 272 W. What volume of body fluid does he lose in the 5.5 hours of the race if 21.0% of the energy goes to the muscle tissue and the rest is used in removing the perspiration from the body. The latent heat of vaporization is 2.41 106 J/kg at 37.0°C and density of water is 1000 kg/m3. Answer in cubic meters.
The air temperature above coastal areas is profoundly influenced by the large specific heat of water. One reason is that the energy released when 1 cubic meter of water cools by 1.0°C will raise the temperature of an enormously larger volume of air by 1.0°C. Estimate that volume of air. The specific heat of air is approximately 1.0 kJ/kg ? °C. Take the density of air to be 1.3 kg/m3.
