Physics
During exercise, the body loses heat through evaporation of sweat. If a person loses 1 kg of sweat during exercise, how much energy does the body lose through evaporation? How does the cooling effect of evaporation compare to heat loss due to specific heat capacity? (Latent heat of vaporization = 2268 × 10³ J kg⁻¹, Specific heat capacity of water = 4.2 × 10³ J kg⁻¹ K⁻¹)
