Why does body temperature fluctuate?
A healthy adult's core body temperature is about 98.6 degrees fahrenheit. Our core temperature will fluxtuate when it is not in it's peak of health or when there is a sudden change in environment/activity. Now if you are looking for the actual science of it, type that same question into google.
What is the meaning of the K in the temperature?
K is the abbreviation for Kelvin, a unit of temperature. It's more or less the unit used for scientific purposes and not commercial use (usually the US weather reports are in Fahrenheit degrees and not Kelvins).
To convert from Celsius to Kelvins: [K] = [°C] + 273.15
To convert from Fahrenheit to Kelvins: [K] = ([°F] + 459.67) × 5⁄9
What is 350 degrees equivalent in celsius fan forced oven?
roughly around (280) to (250) but you'll need to cook it for about 4-8 minutes longer if on 250
How do you convert centigrade to farenheith?
we know that to convert of one scale of temperature the formula is
x-LFP of 1st scale/UFP of first scale=y-LFPof second scale/UFP of the second scale
LFP-lower fixing point UFP-upper fixing point x-the value in 1st scale y- the value in 2nd scale
so from this
C-0/100=F-32/180 where C,F are the temp in Celsius and Fahrenheit respectively
What is negative 32 degrees Fahrenheit in kelvin?
Negative 32 degrees Fahrenheit is approximately 233.15 Kelvin.
How much is 52 degrees Celsius in Fahrenheit?
52 degrees Celsius is equal to 125.6 degrees Fahrenheit. This can be calculated using the formula: (52°C × 9/5) + 32 = 125.6°F.
What is the temperature of a iceberg in celsius?
The temperature of an iceberg can vary, but it is typically around -10 to -20 degrees Celsius at the surface.
What happens if temperature increase melts Arctic ice?
Well many animals would die for one and become extinct. It has already had a major temperature increase in the last 20 years or so. Experts in polar bear science predict that as the Arctic continues to warm due to climate change, two-thirds of the world's polar bears could disappear by mid-century. I am not an expert in the Arctic but it is becoming more and more worrying as the years go by.
How many degrees f does water boil at?
the boiling point of water in F is 212 degrees and for C is 100 degrees
Is 85 degrees hot enough to wear shorts?
Yes, because 85 degrees is hot enough to wera shorts because its only 5 degrees away from 90 and 90 drgrees is hot
To calculate the heat lost by ingesting 1.00 kg of snow at 273 K (0 °C), you need to consider the heat required to raise the snow's temperature from 0 °C to 37 °C. First, calculate the heat absorbed by the snow to melt it from 273 K to 273.15 K (its melting point), then the heat absorbed to raise it from 273.15 K to 310.15 K (37 °C). Finally, convert from kJ to J to find the total heat lost by the body.
How does the temperature of Venus compare to the temperature of Earth?
The surface temperature of Venus is much hotter than Earth, with average temperatures around 467 degrees Celsius (872 degrees Fahrenheit) due to its thick atmosphere that traps heat. In comparison, the average temperature of Earth is around 15 degrees Celsius (59 degrees Fahrenheit).
What is the equation that describes the relationship between kelvin and celsius?
The Celsius and Kelvin scales actually equate at a 1 to 1 ratio. The Kelvin scale is calculated at 273.15 degrees higher than Celsius, however, since Celsius puts 0 at the freezing point, while Kelvin puts 0 at absolute zero.
How does a homeotherm maintain body temperature?
Mammals and Birds are homeothermic.
Extra Credit
As animals get larger the ratio of their volume to their surface area increases, this reduces the rate at which they lose hear to the environment and also reduces the rate at which environmental changes alter their internal temperature, this phenomenon is known as Gigantothermy and enables reptiles and fish, such as the Sea Turtle and Great White Shark to maintain a constant body temperature.
How does the boiling point of a liquid vary with pressure?
Something boils when its vapor pressure equals the atmospheric (barometric) pressure above it. When the two are equal, that defines the boiling point.
Therefore, you can either boil something by heating the liquid, and thus raising its vapor pressure (vapor pressure goes up with temperature), or you can boil something by reducing the atmospheric pressure above it until it matches the vapor pressure.
See the Related Questions links to the left for more information about how the boiling point of water changes with elevation and atmospheric pressure.
170 degrees Celsius is equal to 338 degrees Fahrenheit.
What are the numbers for hot or cold on a thermometer?
The typical range for hot temperatures on a thermometer is around 90-100 degrees Fahrenheit, while cold temperatures usually range from 0-32 degrees Fahrenheit. It's important to note that these ranges can vary depending on the type of thermometer being used.
Why can you assume the initial temperature of ice is 0 degrees Celsius?
Ice is the solid form of water, which is most commonly found at 0 degrees Celsius. When ice melts, it transitions to liquid water at 0 degrees Celsius. Therefore, it is generally safe to assume that the initial temperature of ice is 0 degrees Celsius until provided with information suggesting otherwise.
Does a lower Celsius number mean colder?
Yes, a lower Celsius number indicates a colder temperature. The Celsius scale is based on the freezing and boiling points of water, where 0°C is the freezing point and 100°C is the boiling point. as the number decreases, the temperature decreases.
What is the temperature in 5AM?
Cold, usually.
The average temperature at 5AM would depend on the location and time of year.
