A Man, Shipwrecked at Sea, Spends 12 Hours Floating in the Ocean

question 44

Essay

A man, shipwrecked at sea, spends 12 hours floating in the ocean before washing up on the shore of a deserted island. The shipwrecked man has just finished collecting shellfish from the ocean and is lying on the beach absorbing solar radiation. A very large sea turtle crawls out of the ocean and suns itself on the same beach. Both individuals bask in the sun for 7 hours. If the temperature of the ocean is 10C and the temperature of the sand is 30C, how would you expect sand temperature to affect body temperature and how would body temperature change over time for both individuals? Create a graph that shows this pattern. Label the x and y axes. Draw a line that shows the expected change in temperature of the person over time and the expected change in temperature of the turtle over time. Label both lines.
