Question

(a) When you exercise vigorously, you sweat. How does this help your body cool?

Accepted Answer

Hey, everyone were asked which of the following statement explains how sweat aids in cooling our bodies first. Let's think about what we know before we dive into our answer choices. So we know on the surface of our body we have evaporation of water, and we also know that the heat required for vaporization is absorbed from the body. So looking at our answer choices, we can already eliminate A and C. Since we're looking for water evaporates next, we know that if our body loses heat, then our body is subsequently cold. Now, looking back at our answer choices, it looks like d is going to be our answer since the body releases heat that is absorbed by the water on the surface and the water evaporates, which helps cool down our body. So I hope that made sense and let us know if you have any questions.
