INTRODUCTION

a) What is Heatstroke ?
Heatstroke is a condition caused by your body overheating, usually as a
result of prolonged exposure to or physical exertion in high temperatures. This
most serious form of heat injury, heatstroke, can occur if your body temperature
rises to 104 F (40 C) or higher. The condition is most common in the summer
months.

b) Symptoms
Heatstroke signs and symptoms include:

1) High body temperature. A core body temperature of 104 F (40 C) or higher,

obtained with a rectal thermometer, is the main sign of heatstroke.

2) Altered mental state or behavior. Confusion, agitation, slurred speech,

irritability, delirium, seizures and coma can all result from heatstroke.

3) Alteration in sweating. In heatstroke brought on by hot weather, your skin

will feel hot and dry to the touch. However, in heatstroke brought on by
strenuous exercise, your skin may feel dry or slightly moist.

4) Nausea and vomiting. You may feel sick to your stomach or vomit.

5) Flushed skin. Your skin may turn red as your body temperature increases.

6) Rapid breathing. Your breathing may become rapid and shallow.

7) Racing heart rate. Your pulse may significantly increase because heat stress
places a tremendous burden on your heart to help cool your body.
 8) Headache.
c) Ways to deal with heatstroke
1) Get out of the heat quickly and into a cool place, or at least shade.

2) Lie down and elevate your legs to get blood flowing to your heart.

3) Take off any tight or extra clothing.

4) Apply cool towels to your skin or take a cool bath. This will help regulate
and lower your internal body temperature.

5) Drink fluids, such as water or a sports drink. Do not guzzle them, but take
sips. Do not drink fluids with caffeine or alcohol.

B. PROBLEM STATEMENT

how heatstroke can cause a fatal on human in a short period of time?

C. DISCUSSION

Physics concepts related to heating, cooling and the greenhouse effect

a) Heating

The air molecules inside of the car would contain the heat that was
transfered throught the sunray.

b) Cooling

The heat trapped in the air should be conducted to the outer environment in order
to get it to be distributed evenly, causing the the heat slowly decrease.
 c) GreenHouse Effect

The greenhouse effect is a warming of the surfaces inside the car and the air
above it. It is caused by gases in the air that trap energy from the sun. These heat-
trapping gases are called greenhouse gases. Because of the closed environment inside
the car, the heat trapped inside cannot be conducted to the outside environment.
Thus, makes the environment inside of the car keep on heating.
