Question:

For a cheetah, 70.0% of the energy expended during exertion is internal work done on the cheetah's system and is dissipated within his body; for a dog only 5.00% of the energy expended is dissipated within the dog's body. Assume that both animals expend the same total amount of energy during exertion, both have the same heat capacity, and the cheetah is 2.00 times as heavy as the dog.
(a) How much higher is the temperature change of the cheetah compared to the temperature change of the dog?
(b) If they both start out at an initial temperature of 35.0°C, and the cheetah has a temperature of 40.0°C after the exertion, what is the final temperature of the dog?
Which animal probably has more endurance? Explain.
