When people exercise, they report feeling exhaustion when their body temp rises to 39.7 C a 68 kg man is running at 15 km/h on a hot muggy day that he cant lose any heat to the environment his body temp starts at 37 Chow long can he run til he feels exhaustion

Respuesta :

Answer:

111 seconds

Explanation:

From research, it takes 4200 J to raise 1 kg of body temperature. Which means that specific heat capacity of human body with is; c = 4200 J/Kg°C

We are told that the temperature starts at 37°C and rises to 39.7°C

Thus: Δt = 39.7 - 37 = 2.7°C

Amount of energy required is given by the formula;

q = mcΔt

We are given m = 68 kg

Thus;

q = 68 × 4200 × 2.7

q = 77112 J

From research, the human body is 25% efficient.

Formula for power with velocity is;

P = F × V

F = mg = 68 × 9.81

V = 15km/h = 4.167 m/s

P = 68 × 9.81 × 4.167

P = 2779.72 W

Since the human body is 25%

Then the power of the utilized is;

25/100 × 2779.72 = 694.93 W

Now, we now that;

Power = work done/time taken

694.93 = 77112/t

t = 77112/694.93

t = 111 seconds.

Thus, it will take home 111 seconds to feel exhausted

The man can run for 745 s till he feels exhausted.

The specific heat is the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of a 1 gram of a substance by 1° C

Here, the specific heat of the human body is 3500 J / kg /° C

From the information given:

  • The initial body temperature = 37° C
  • The final body temperature = 39.7° C
  • mass of the man running = 68 kg

Here, the heat Q needed is;

Q = mCΔT

Q = 68 × 3500 J/ kg/ ° C × (39.7 -37)° C

Q = 68 × 3500 J/ kg/ ° C × 2.7

Q = 642600 J

At standard conditions, the power value of a man = 1150 W. Suppose 75% of the power is lost to heat.

Then;

Power P becomes:

[tex]\mathbf{P = 1150 \ W \times (\dfrac{75}{100})}[/tex]

P = 862.5 W

Using the relation of Power to heat, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{Power (P) = \dfrac{heat (Q)}{time (t)}}[/tex]

By making time (t) the subject, we can now determine how long he runs till he feels exhausted.

∴

[tex]\mathbf{time (t) = \dfrac{heat (Q)}{Power (P)}}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{time (t) = \dfrac{642400 \ J}{ 862.5 W}}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{time (t) = 744.81 \ s}[/tex]

time (t) ≅ 745 s
