When the hamster is running in a wheel, the temperature of the air in the calorimeter rises 1.60 per hour. How much heat does the running hamster generate in an hour? Assume that all this heat goes into the air in the calorimeter. You can ignore the heat that goes into the walls of the box and into the thermometer, and assume that no heat is lost to the surroundings.When the hamster is running in a wheel, the temperature of the air in the calorimeter rises 1.60 per hour.
