What is the normal human body temperature in Kelvin?

Last Updated:

A273 K
B300 K
C310 K
D373 K
Correct Answer: 310 KYour Answer: C

Explanation

Normal human body temperature in Kelvin is derived from the standard Celsius value using the Kelvin conversion formula. Option A (273 K) is incorrect — 273 K corresponds to 0°C, which is the freezing point of water. A person at 273 K (0°C) would be frozen solid and clinically dead. Option B (300 K) is incorrect — 300 K = 27°C, which is approximately normal room temperature in warm conditions. While 300 K is used as a convenient approximate room temperature in many physics problems, it is not the normal human body temperature. Option C (310 K) is CORRECT — the normal human body temperature is 37°C. Converting to Kelvin: K = C + 273 = 37 + 273 = 310 K. Therefore, 37°C = 98.6°F = 310 K. The image conversion table specifically shows body temperature as 37°C = 98.6°F = 310 K. Option D (373 K) is incorrect — 373 K corresponds to 100°C, which is the boiling point of water, not human body temperature. A person at 373 K (100°C) would be at boiling water temperature — instantly fatal.

What is heat in physics?

Heat is a form of energy that transfers between objects or systems due to a temperature difference, moving from a hotter body to a cooler one until thermal equilibrium is reached.
