The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of determining the rise in temperature of a person weighing 50 kg who takes in 1500 kcal of energy per day, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Convert the mass from kg to grams**: \[ \text{Mass (m)} = 50 \, \text{kg} = 50 \times 10^3 \, \text{g} = 50000 \, \text{g} \] 2. **Convert the energy intake from kcal to calories**: \[ \text{Energy intake} = 1500 \, \text{kcal} = 1500 \times 10^3 \, \text{cal} = 1500000 \, \text{cal} \] 3. **Use the formula for heat transfer**: The formula for heat transfer is given by: \[ \Delta Q = m \cdot s \cdot \Delta T \] where: - \(\Delta Q\) is the heat energy (in calories), - \(m\) is the mass (in grams), - \(s\) is the specific heat capacity (in cal/g°C), - \(\Delta T\) is the change in temperature (in °C). 4. **Rearrange the formula to solve for \(\Delta T\)**: \[ \Delta T = \frac{\Delta Q}{m \cdot s} \] 5. **Substitute the known values into the equation**: - \(\Delta Q = 1500000 \, \text{cal}\) - \(m = 50000 \, \text{g}\) - \(s = 0.83 \, \text{cal/g°C}\) Thus, \[ \Delta T = \frac{1500000}{50000 \times 0.83} \] 6. **Calculate \(\Delta T\)**: \[ \Delta T = \frac{1500000}{41500} \approx 36.14 \, \text{°C} \] ### Final Answer: The rise in temperature of the person is approximately **36.14 °C**. ---
