Consider a boy with mass 30 kg eats 0.3 kg of ice-cream (0℃) Let us assume the specific latent heat of fusion of ice-cream is close to that of ice,i.e.334000
J/kg℃
(a)(i)It is quite safe to assue the specific heat capacity of the human body to
be close to that of water,i.e.4200J/kg℃.Why?
(ii)Do you expect the actual specific heat capacity to be lower or higher than
our estimate?Why?
(b)Calculate the body temperature after the boy's eating the ice-cream.(Given the normal body temperature is 370℃)
