Question

When our bodies get too warm, they respond by sweating and increasing blood circulation to the surface to transfer thermal energy away from the core. What effect will this have on a person in a 40.0ºC hot tub?physics

When our bodies get too warm, they respond by sweating and increasing blood circulation to the surface to transfer thermal energy away from the core.

Answer 2

Answer:

Because the temperature difference between the body and the hot tub is lower than the temperature difference between the body and the atmosphere, the thermal energy transfer rate will decrease.

Explanation:

What is thermal energy:

• The energy contained within a system that is accountable for its temperature is referred to as thermal energy.
• The transfer of thermal energy is referred to as heat.

Effects on rate of transfer of thermal energy:

• The temperature difference divided by the total thermal resistance between two surfaces is the rate of heat transfer between two surfaces.
• The thermal resistance notion is extensively utilized in practice, although it is only applicable to systems with a constant rate of heat transmission.
