Question:medium

During a summer day a scooter rider feels more comfortable while on the move than while at rest at a stop light because

Show Hint

Forced Convection vs. Natural Convection: - Stationary state $\implies$ Natural Convection $\implies$ Low velocity $\implies$ Small $h$ value $\implies$ Poor heat dissipation. - Moving state $\implies$ Forced Convection $\implies$ High relative velocity $\implies$ Large $h$ value $\implies$ High heat dissipation rate.

More heat is lost by convection while in motion
Air is transparent to radiation, hence it is cooler than the body
The object in motion captures less solar radiation
Air has a low specific heat, hence it is cooler
