Chapter 1: Q34P (page 1)

An average sleeping person metabolizes at a rate of about 80Wby digesting food or burning fat. Typically, 20%of this energy goes into bodily functions, such as cell repair, pumping blood, and other uses of mechanical energy, while the rest goes to heat. Most people get rid of all this excess heat by transferring it (by conduction and the flow of blood) to the surface of the body, where it is radiated away. The normal

internal temperature of the body (where the metabolism takes place) is 37掳C, and the skin is typically 7掳C cooler. By how much does the person鈥檚 entropy change per second due to this heat transfer?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The person鈥檚 entropy change per second due to heat transfer is -0.0048J/K.

Given: Temperature of internal body is TH=37掳C=310K

Temperature of outer side of body isTC=30掳C=303K

The heat absorbed by internal body is QH=80%脳80.0J=64.0J

The heat rejected to outer skin is QH=-64.0J

Step by step solution

01

 Defining entropy

Entropy can be defined as the measure of a system鈥檚 thermal energy per unit temperature that is unavailable for doing useful work. It is also the measure of randomness of system.

Formula of change in entropy

鈭�S=QT

Where, 鈭�S is the change in entropy of substance Q is the heat gain by the substance and is the temperature of substance.

02

Change in entropy of body

The change in entropy of body

鈭�S=QHTH+QCTC

Where, 鈭�Sis the change in entropy of body.

03

Calculation of change in entropy of body

Using relation

鈭�S=QHTH+QCTC

Now, putting the values of constants in above equation

鈭�S=64.0J310K+-64.0J303K鈭�S=-0.0048J/K

Thus, the person鈥檚 entropy change per second due to heat transfer is -0.0048J/K.

A car is stopped at a traffic light. It then travels along a straight road such that its distance from the light is given byxt=bt2-ct3, whereb=2.40m/s2andc=0.120m/s3. (a) Calculate the average velocity of the car for the time interval t = 0 to t = 10.0 s. (b) Calculate the instantaneous velocity of the car at t = 0, t = 5.0 s, and t = 10.0 s. (c) How long after starting from rest is the car again at rest?

At what distance above the surface of the earth is the acceleration due to the earth鈥檚 gravity 0.980 m/s2 if the acceleration due to gravity at the surface has magnitude 9.8 m/s2?

You decide to visit Santa Claus at the north pole to put in a good word about your splendid behavior throughout the year. While there, you notice that the elf Sneezy, when hanging from a rope, produces a tension of 395.0鈥�Nin the rope. If Sneezy hangs from a similar rope while delivering presents at the earth鈥檚 equator, what will the tension in it be? (Recall that the earth is rotating about an axis through its north and south poles.) Consult Appendix F and start with a free-body diagram of Sneezy at the equator.

A small rock is thrown vertically upward with a speed of22.0 m/s from the edge of the roof of a 30.0-m-tall building. Therock doesn鈥檛 hit the building on its way back down and lands onthe street below. Ignore air resistance. (a) What is the speed of therock just before it hits the street? (b) How much time elapses fromwhen the rock is thrown until it hits the street?
