Suppose a hippopotamus on land receives 73 units of heat per minute due to solar radiation and 52 units of heat per minute due to infrared radiation. It emits 39 units of infrared radiation and it loses 66 units of heat per minute through evaporation. The hippopotamus gains 45 units of heat per minute through its metabolism. Overall, its heat energy is increasing by 50 units per minute (i.e. its temperature is increasing). Delta Hanimal = SR + IRin - IRout + Hcony + Hcond - Hevap + Hmet Based on this information we can conclude that the combination of conduction and convection is the animal, and that its current temperature is than the ambient temperature. Select one: a. cooling; warmer b. warming; warmer c. cooling; cooler d. warming; cooler
