The blood plays an important role in removing heat from th ebody by bringing the heat directly to the surface where it can radiate away. nevertheless, this heat must still travel through the skin before it can radiate away. we shall assume that the blood is brought to the bottom layer of skin at a temperature of 37.0 degrees c and that its outer surface of the skin is at 30.0 degrees c. skin varies in thickness from 0.500mm to a few millimeters on the palms and the soles so we shall assume an average thickness off 0.740mm. a 165lb, 6 ft person has a surface area of about 2.00 m^2 and loses heat at a net rate of 75.0 w while resting. on the basis of our assumptions, what is the thermal conductivity of this persons skin?

The key to stability is feedback between the reservoir and the fluxes into and/or out of the reservoir. assume that the rate of outflow from a reservoir depends on the size of the reservoir according to the following relationship: outflow rate= k x (size of reservoir), where k is a constant. a reservoir of water has a volume of 5000 liters, and the rate of outflow at steady state is 25 liters per minute. what is k? (give both the numerical value and its units.) what is the residence time? what is the relationship between k and the residence time?

Astudent is performing an experiment comparing sound and light waves. the student gathers the following data. what conclusion does the student most likely make based on this data? light waves always travel the same speed; however, the speed of sound is determined by the medium that it travels through. all sound waves always have the same energy, so the temperature of the medium does not affect wave speed. light needs to vibrate particles, so it travels fastest in tightly packed solids, while sound does not need a medium, so it travels fastest in a gas. tightly packed particles in solids slow down the light waves; however, sound waves make particles bounce into each other, so they travel faster in solids.

Scout feels ill one day before school. her mother puts a thermometer in her mouth and the temperature begins to climb to 100°f. what is happening between the cooler thermometer and scout's body? a) scout's body is applying a force to the particles in the thermometer. b) kinetic energy is being transferred from her mouth to the thermometer. c) potential energy is being lost by the thermometer and gained by scout's body. d) the potential energy stored in foods is converted to mechanical energy to raise the mercury in the thermometer.
