Aperson's body is producing energy internally due to metabolic processes. if the body loses more energy than metabolic processes are generating, its temperature will drop. if the drop is severe, it can be life-threatening. suppose a person is unclothed and energy is being lost via radiation from a body surface area of 1.44 m2, which has a temperature of 34 °c and an emissivity of 0.681. suppose that metabolic processes are producing energy at a rate of 118 j/s. what is the temperature in kelvins of the coldest room in which this person could stand and not experience a drop in body temperature?

The food calorie, equal to 4186 j, is a measure of how much energy is released when the body metabolizes food. a certain fruitandcereal bar contains 140 food calories. (a) if a 65kg hiker eats one bar, how high a mountain must he climb to "work off" the calories, assuming that all the food energy goes into increasing gravitational potential energy? (b) if, as is typical, only 20% of the food calories go into mechani- cal energy, what would be the answer to part (a)? (note: in this and all other problems, we are assuming that 100% of the food calories that are eaten are absorbed and used by the body. this is actually not true. aperson's "metabolic efficiency" is the percentage of calories eatenthat are actually used; the rest are eliminated by the body.metabolic efficiency varies considerably from person toperson.)
