Do humans ever reach thermal equilibrium with the surrounding air? Explain.
If human body is working properly in that case bodykeeps producing heat. In this case body maintainsits temperature irrespective of surrounding temperature.So it never reaches thermal equilibrium with surrounding.Still outer skin of body is always at same temperatureas surrounding.

Hi. We know for a fact that when you let a cup of hot drink in the air after some time, it will cool town toe what temperature to the same temperature as the temperature of the here. That these we see. The temperature of the cop approaches the temperature of the air and that the cop comes into thermal equilibrium with the surrounding air. This same scenario is true for a cold drink. By the question is with same scenario happened to a human body that this will ever reach thermal quickly, Pio in the surrounding air. Now the answer to this is it depends on the situation. In case of a human fighting and the surrounding air Slowness, you are alive. Your bike tries to maintain the normal body temperature of 37 degrees Celsius. We know that the body maintains thes temperature no matter what. The temperature of the surrounding air is because thesis that this is at this temperature, that human body processes are optimal. However, your body interacts with this reality here as it isnot thermally insulated, it responds to a temperature of the site. For example, during a hot day, you perspire or sweat to keep your body cool, and when it is cold, you find the clothes to wrap yourself or yourself with to keep you warm. In both cases, there is he transferred according between your body and this around here, so your body reacts so as to maintain this body temperature rather than to reach to thermal equilibrium with the here. So it rarely happens that a live human body comes into thermal equilibrium. This around here, however, when your body you saw already the same temperature or the areas that seem temperatures, your body, then we can see that both already seem where both are determined equilibrium or when you were dead. When there's no processes going on inside your body, then your body might come the thermal equilibrium with the surrounding air, so that's how it depends on the situation.
