Energy that is not utilized for work or heat transfer in the human body is converted to the chemical energy of body fat, which contains about 39 kJ/g. How many grams of fat will you gain if you eat 2450 kcal one day and do nothing but sit relaxed for 16 hours and sleep for the other 8 hours. (Assume sleeping burns 1.2 kcal/min, while sitting relaxed burns 1.7 kcal.min)

What is the change in internal energy of a system which does 0.42 J of work while 8.87 J of heat transfer occurs into the system, and 8.87 J of heat transfer occurs to the environment? Give your answer in joules.

Muffins are taken out of the oven with a temperature of 200°F and are placed on a cooling rack with a room temperature of 70°F. After 15 minutes, the muffins have cooled to 170°F. If it is recommended to wait 30 minutes before eating, what temperature would the muffins be? Round the value of k to the nearest fourth decimal place.

The rate at which a resting person converts food energy is called one’s basal metabolic rate (BMR). Assume that the resulting internal energy leaves a person’s body by radiation and convection of dry air. When you jog, most of the food energy you burn above your BMR becomes internalenergy that would raise your body temperature if it were not eliminated. Assume that evaporation of perspiration is the mechanism for eliminating this energy. Suppose a person is jogging for “maximum fat burning,” converting food energy at the rate 400 kcal/h above his BMR, and putting out energy by work at the rate 60.0 W. Assume that the heat of evaporation of water at body temperature is equal to its heat of vaporization at 100°C. (a) Determine the hourly rate at which water must evaporate from his skin. (b) When you metabolize fat, the hydrogen atoms in the fat molecule are transferred to oxygen to form water. Assume that metabolism of 1.00 g of fat generates 9.00 kcal of energy and produces 1.00 g of…
