It is estimated that a person expends about 2 kJ of energy per pound of body weight in walking a mile. Which has the better performance rating based on pound-miles per unit mass of fuel, a person using glucose as a fuel or a car using gasoline? (Take a representative value of a 1-ton car and 20 mile/gal fuel consumption for the car. 1 US gallon is 3.785 L and the density of gasoline is about 0.68 g/mL.) State your assumptions.
If you expended 1500 watts for 3 hours, how many kilowatt-hours (kWh) would that be? Enter answer as number followed by a space and then the correct units (i.e "123 Unit").
Suppose that the average U.S. household uses 14100 kWh (kilowatt-hours) of energy in a year. If the average rate of energy consumed by the house was instead diverted to lift a 1690 kg car 15.8 m into the air, how long would it take? car: S Using the same rate of energy consumption, how long would it take to lift a loaded Boeing 747 airplane, with a mass of 3.90 x 10° kg, to a cruising altitude of 9.42 km? airplane: S
Assume that the energy content in food can be converted to mechanical energy with 100% efficiency. How many chocolate candy bars (each with 330 kcal) would it take to climb Mount Everest (8850 m)? Assume that the mass of the climber, including equipment, is 127 kg. Round up to the nearest whole number.
Brad tries out a weight-loss plan that involves repeatedly lifting a 44.2-kg barbell from the floor over his head to a height of 2.00 m. If he is able to complete three such lifts per minute, how long will it take for him to lose 0.50 kg of fat? “Burning” 1 g of fat supplies 38.8 kJ to the body; of this, 10.0% can be used by the muscles to lift the barbell. (Ignore the fat “burned” while he lowers the barbell to the floor.)
