Question 8 of 12 - / 20 E 5 View Policies Current Attempt in Progress Flying Circus of Physics The giant hornet Vespa mandarinia japonica preys on Japanese bees. However, if one of the hornets attempts to invade a beehive, several hundred of the bees quickly form a compact ball around the hornet to stop it. They don't sting, bite, crush, or suffocate it. Rather they overheat it by quickly raising their body temperatures from the normal 35C to 47C or 48C, which is lethal to the hornet but not to the bees (see the gure). Assume the following: 537 bees form a ball of radius R = 2.9 cm for a time t = 21 min, the primary loss of energn/ by the ball is by thermal radiation, the ball's surface has emissivity s = 0.88, and the ball has a uniform temperature. On average, how much additional energy must each bee produce during the 21 min to maintain 47C? The Stefan-Boltzmann constant is 5.6704 x 10'8 W/mZ-K\".
