- A family comes home from a long vacation with laundry to do and showers to take. The water heater has been turned offduring the vacation. If the heater has a capacity of 50.0 gallons and a 4 800-W heating element, how much time is required to raise the temperature of the water from 20.0°C to 60.0°C? Assume the heater is well insulated and no water is withdrawn from the tank during that time.arrow_forwardA student is trying to decide what to wear. His bedroom is at 20°C. His skin temperature is 35°C. The area of his exposed skin is 1.50 m2. People of all races have skin that is dark in the infrared, with emissivity about 0.900. Find the net energy loss from his body by radiation in 10.0 min.arrow_forwardWhat is the rate of heat transfer by radiation, with an unclothed person standing in a dark room whose ambient temperature is 22.0°C. The person has a normal skin temperature of 33.0°C and a surface area of 1.50 m². The emissivity of skin is 0.97 in the infrared, where the radiation takes place.arrow_forward
- An aluminium object with a mass of 4.97 kg and at a temperature of 26.8 °C comes to thermal contact with a 9.98 kg copper object which is initially at a temperature of 85.3 °C. What is going to be the equilibrum temperature of the two objects? Neglect heat transfer between the objects and the environment. The specific heats are: CAI = 900 J/kg°C and ccu = 387 J/kg°C.arrow_forwardA family comes home from a long vacation with laundry to do and showers to take. The water heater has been turned off during vacation. If the water heater has a capacity of 51.3 gallons and a 4940 W heating element, how much time is required to raise the temperature of the water from 19.4°C to 63.3°C? Assume that the heater is well insulated and no water is withdrawn from the tank during this time.arrow_forwarduminum rods are used to make a picture frame. One rod is 55.00 cm long when it is 14.00°C. However, the frame was left outside in the sun, where it was heated to 50.00°C. the length (in cm) of one rod in the frame after it was left outside? 55.05 cm 54.95 cm 45.45 cm 59.75 cmarrow_forward
- A student in a lecture hall has 0.320 m2 of skin (arms, hands, and head) exposed. The skin is at 34.0°C and has an emissivity of 0.970. The temperature of the room is 29.5°C (air, walls, ceiling, and floor all at the same temperature). The Stefan–Boltzmann constant is 5.670 × 10−8 W/ (m2. K4 ). A) At what rate does the skin emit thermal radiation? in W B) At what rate does the skin absorb thermal radiation? in W C) At what rate does the skin absorb thermal radiation? in W D) Compare this to the total rate of heat flow from the body, which is about 100 W.______ % of total ratearrow_forward. At what net rate does heat radiate from a 250- m² black roof on a night when the roof's temperature is 30°C and the surrounding temperature is 15°C? The emissivity of the roof is 0.900. The Stefan- Boltzmann's constant is σ =5.67 × 10−8 J/(s m² K4). Hint: The roof radiates heat to the surroundings but also absorbs heat from the surroundings. Use the sign convention for heat leaving and entering a system. Pnet =Q/t= 4.44 x10³× W ! No, that's not the correct answer.arrow_forwardWhile swimming, conduction can play a big role in heat loss from the body. The body of one swimmer has a total surface area of 1.80 m2 and an average thickness of 1.60 mm. The skin's thermal conductivity is 0.370 W/m-K. If the water's temperature is 20.0°C, and the blood reaching the inner surface of the skin is at 37.0°C, what is the rate of energy loss for that person through conduction?arrow_forward
