Problem 10: You read in a popular diet blog that the author claims you can lose up to half a pound of body fat per week if, instead of drinking 2.4 (i.e., 2.4 kilograms) of water every day, you can eat the same amount of water in the form of ice. The reasoning is that your body must first melt the ice en bring the ice water up to the body temperature of 37°C, which is a process that requires a significant amount of energy at the expense of "burned" fat. Thankfully, you just finished discussing heat and phase changes in your physics class, so you can calculate exactly how much energy is expended. pecific heat and latent heat of fusion for water are 4.186 x 10³ J/(kg-°C) and 3.34×105 J/kg, respectively.

An ice bag containing 0°C ice is much more effective in absorbing heat than one containing the same amount of 0°C water. (a) How much heat (in J) is required to raise the temperature of 0.900 kg of water from 0°C to 25.0°C? (b) How much heat (in J) is required to first melt 0.900 kg of 0°C ice and then raise its temperature? (c) Explain how your answers support the contention that the ice is more effective.
The world's deepest gold mine, which is located in South Africa, is over 5.1 km deep. Every day, the mine transfers enough energy by heat to the mine's cooling systems to melt 348114 kg of ice at 0.0 degrees Celsius. If the energy output from the mine is increased by 9.6 percent, to what final temperature will the 348114 kg of ice-cold water be heated? Latent Heat of fusion of Ice-3.33 × 105 J/kg Specific heat capacity of Water = 4186J/(kg. °C)
A mountain hiker tightens the cap on a half-full plastic water bottle at a high altitude. The volume of air in the sealed bottle is 5 x 10-4 m³, the pressure is 64 kPa and the temperature is -8 °C. The hiker descends to a lower altitude where the pressure is 94.2 kPa and the temperature is 11 °C. What is the final volume of the sealed air inside the bottle? (this is what causes the plastic bottle to deform if you've ever experience this situation)
7. The figure shows a 50 kg lead cylindrical piston which floats on 0.68 mol of compressed air at 30°C. How far does the piston move if the temperature is increased to 300°C? 130 cm 250 cm 50 kg 1300 cm 120 cm 30°C 10 cm
In your kitchen, you fill a clear glass bottle half full of 25° C water and leave the lid off. You then put the bottle outside in the hot summer sun for 30 minutes. After that time, you notice that the temperature of the water has increased to 38° C. There are TWO processes that have occurred that have contributed to the temperature rise of the water in the bottle. Identify both processes and explain how the water's temperature has been raised by these processes.
Jessica is walking down the NYC while eating a hot dog. Her walking is making her lose calories. Her eating the hot dog is making her gain calories. The rate as which she is losing calories per minute is defined as f(t)=t^2+5. The rate at which she is gaining calories per minute is defined as g(t) =10t+50. Before her walk, she had already eaten an entire pretzel which contained 300 calories. a.) From the 0th minute to the 8th minute, approximate how many calories Jessiva has lost using LRS approximation of 4 subintervals. b.) What is the actual number of calories Jessica has lost on her 8 minute walk? c.) What is the exact number of calories Jessica has gained, eating her hotdog for 8 minutes? d.) What is the average rate of calorie loss during her walk? (Please use the average value formula) e.) At what time will Jessica have a net gain/loss of calories at 0? f.) After her 8 minute walk and taking into account the pretzel she had eaten prior, how many calories has Jessica…

You read in a popular diet blog that the author claims you can lose up to half a pound of body fat per week if, instead of drinking 1.9 liters (i.e., 1.9 kilograms) of water every day, you can eat the same amount of water in the form of ice. The reasoning is that your body must first melt the ice and then bring the ice water up to the body temperature of 37°C, which is a process that requires a significant amount of energy at the expense of “burned” body fat. Thankfully, you just finished discussing heat and phase changes in your physics class, so you can calculate exactly how much energy is expended. The specific heat and latent heat of fusion for water are 4.186 × 103 J/(kg⋅°C) and 3.34×105 J/kg, respectively a) How many kilocalories do you expend when you eat 1.9 kg of ice at 0°C? Note that 1 kcal = 4186 J. b) Assuming the metabolism of one pound of body fat produces 3500 kcal of energy, how many pounds of body fat could you lose in a week just by eating 1.9 kilograms of ice every…
Suppose you start your day in Denver, on a cool 10°C spring day. The local atmospheric pressure is 85 kPa. You fill your car’s tires until the gauge shows 210 kPa (about 30 psi). You then drive up to Fairplay, Colorado, where the atmospheric pressure is lower—70 kPa—and the temperature drops to 0°C.When you finish lunch, you check your tire pressure. What does the gauge read?
On a trip, you notice that a 3.15-kg bag of ice lasts an average of one day in your cooler. What is the average power in watts entering the ice if it starts at O°C and completely melts to 0°C water in exactly one day? P = W
A 4.5-cm-diameter, 0.50-mm-thick spherical plastic shell holds carbon dioxide at 2.0 atm pressure and 25°C. CO2 molecules diffuse out of the shell into the surrounding air, where the carbon dioxide concentration is essentially zero. The diffusion coefficient of carbon dioxide in the plastic is 2.5 × 10-¹² m²/s.
When you jog, most of the food energy you burn above your basal metabolic rate (BMR) ends up as internal energy that would raise your body temperature if it were not eliminated. The evaporation of perspiration is the primary mechanism for eliminating this energy. Determine the amount of water you lose to evaporation when running for 58 minutes at a rate that uses 400 kcal/h above your BMR. (That amount is often considered to be the "maximum fat-burning" energy output. The latent heat of vaporization of water at room temperature is 2.5 106 J/kg.) A) _________ kgB)The metabolism of 1 gram of fat generates approximately 8.63 kcal of energy and produces approximately 1 gram of water. (The hydrogen atoms in the fat molecule are transferred to oxygen to form water.) What fraction of your need for water will be provided by fat metabolism?______________ %
