Question

What is normal body temperature in kelvins? Express your answer in kelvins using four significant figures.

Answer 1

Answer : The normal body temperature in kelvins is, 310.2 K

Explanation :

The normal body temperature for human in degree Celsius is,
`37^oC`

Now we have to convert it into kelvin.

The conversion used for the temperature from degree Celsius to Kelvin is:

`K=273.15+^oC`

where,

`K` = temperature in Kelvin

`^oC` = temperature in centigrade

As we are given the temperature,
`37^oC`

So,

`K=273.15+^oC`

`K=273.15+(37^oC)`

`K=310.15\approx 310.2`

Thus, the normal body temperature in kelvins is, 310.2 K
