When you first step outside on a cold day, your skin is 70° F (21 C). After you've been outside for a while, your skin cools to a temperature of 60° F (16 C). Use this fact to explain why you feel less cold after you've been outside for a while.

The basal metabolic rate is the rate at which energy is produced in the body when a person is at rest. A 75 kg (165 lb) person of height 1.75 m (5.7 ft) would have a body surface area of approximately 1.90 m2. What is the net amount of heat this person could radiate per second into a room at 19.0 °C (about 66.2 °F) if his skin's surface temperature is 30.0 °C? (At such temperatures, nearly all the heat is infrared radiation, for which the body's emissivity is 1.0, regardless of the amount of pigment.)
A metal container, which has a mass of 7,2 kg contains 17.2 kg of water. A 3.3-kg piece of the same metal, initially at a temperature of 180.0°C, is dropped into the water. The container and the water initially have a temperature of 16.5ºC and the final temperature of the entire system is 18.5°C. Calculate the specific heat of the metal. Note: Units for specific heat is J/(kg*K). You do not need to enter the units.
You are standing in Death Valley, California on a summer afternoon, and the temperature is well above 100 degrees. You place a piece of asphalt (Specific Heat = 0.915 J/g°C) and a piece of concrete (Specific Heat = 0.879 J/g°C) on the ground next to one another. If you were to crack an egg onto each surface, which one would be more likely to fry the egg completely? Please explain.

Q2/ A 4-m-internal-diameter spherical tank made of 1.75-em-thick stainless steel (k 15 W/m °C) is used to store iced water at 0°C. The tank is located in a room whose temperature is 35°C. The walls of the room are also at 35°C. The outer surface of the tank is black, and heat transfer between the outer surface of the tank and the surroundings is by natural convection and radiation. The convection heat transfer coefficients at the inner and the outer surfaces of the tank are 80 W/m2 °C and 10 W/m2 °C, respectively. Determine (a) the rate of heat transfer to the iced water in the tank and (b) the amount of ice at 0°C that melts during a 1-h period. The heat of fusion of water at atmospheric pressure is hif 334 kJ/kg.
Arelyz and Hyeonggyun drop a 378.0-g piece of metal at 100.0°C into 447.0 g of water at 20.0°C. The final temperature of the system is measured to be 50.0°C. What is the specific heat of the metal in J/kgK, assuming no heat is exchanged with the surroundings or the cup containing the water? The specific heat of water is 4190 J/(kg K).

A thermos contains m1 = 0.96 kg of tea at T1 = 32° C. Ice (m2 = 0.095 kg, T2 = 0° C) is added to it. The heat capacity of both water and tea is c = 4186 J/(kg⋅K), and the latent heat of fusion for water is Lf = 33.5 × 104 J/kg. Part (a) Input an expression for the final temperature after the ice has melted and the system has reached thermal equilibrium. Part (b) What is the final temperature in Kelvin?
A chunk of metal with a mass of 85.0 grams and a specific heat of 759 joules per kilogram·kelvin is heated to 78.9 degrees Celsius and placed in 122 milliliters of water (c = 4186 J/kg·K) at 18.6 degrees Celsius. What is the final temperature of the metal and water? Hint: The heat lost by the metal is gained by the water, so the sum of the heats is zero.
week 4 #12 A 8.20-kg steel ball at 26.3°C is dropped from a height of 12.0 m into an insulated container with 4.50 L of water at 10.1°C. If no water splashes, what is the final temperature of the water and steel? The specific heat of steel and water is 450 J/(kg·K) and 4186 J/(kg·K) respectively. ______ °C
On a sunny day when the outside temperature is 34.0°C, a car parked in the sun is receiving 812 watts/m2 of incoming solar radiation (Insolation). Because the car radiates heat off of a greater surface area, the car in-turn radiates off heat at a rate of 169 watts/m². If the car is considered a perfect absorber and emitter of radiative energy, what will the equilibrium temperature inside the car be? °C
