Typical fats contain about 9 kcal per gram. If the energy in body fat could be utilized with \(100 \%\) efficiency, how much mass would a runner lose in a 26.2 -mile marathon while consuming \(125 \mathrm{kcal} / \mathrm{mile} ?\)
An electric current passes through a metal strip \(0.50 \mathrm{cm}\) by \(5.0 \mathrm{cm}\) by \(0.10 \mathrm{mm},\) heating it at a rate of \(50 \mathrm{W}\). The strip has emissivity \(e=1\) and its surroundings are at \(300 \mathrm{K}\). What will be the strip's temperature if it's enclosed in (a) a vacuum bottle transparent to all radiation and (b) an insulating box with thermal resistance \(R=8.0 \mathrm{K} / \mathrm{W}\) that blocks all radiation?
To keep your hands warm while skiing, you should wear mittens instead of gloves. Why?
Does a thermometer measure its own temperature or the temperature of its surroundings? Explain.
An electric stove burner has surface area \(325 \mathrm{cm}^{2}\) and emissivity \(e=1 .\) The burner consumes \(1500 \mathrm{W}\) and is at \(900 \mathrm{K} .\) If room temperature is \(300 \mathrm{K},\) what fraction of the burner's heat loss is from radiation?
