A 60.0 kg person will need to climb 10.0 m stairway how many times to "work off" each excess cal (kcal) consumed?
A sleeping 68 kg man has a metabolic power of 75 W .
How many Calories does he burn during an 8.0 hour sleep?
Express your answer using two significant figures.
A 65.0-kg mountain climber just ate a Johnny Rocket's bacon-cheddar-double-burger meal along with two peanut butter milkshakes, which have 5810 Calories (5810 kilocalories). Assume she can convert these calories into energy with 100% efficiency and use the fact that 1 kcal = 4186 J. Calculate how many times she could climb up Mt. Everest – the world’s tallest mountain. The height of Mt. Everest is 8840 m.

Suppose you develop a new material for making pipes and turbines, which allows the maximum steam temperature to be raised to 600°C.

(b) How many stairs must the woman climb to perform an amount of mechanical energy work equivalent to the food energy in one jelly doughnut? Assume the height of a single stair is 15 cm. (c) If the human body is only 25% efficient in converting chemical energy into mechanical energy, how many stairs must the woman climb to work off her breakfast?arrow_forwardThe 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.

Assuming that she is 25% efficient at converting chemical energy from food into mechanical work, and that essentially all the mechanical work is used to climb vertically, roughly how many bowls of corn flakes (standard serving size 1 ounce, 100 kilocalories) should the hiker eat before setting out?(b) As the hiker climbs the mountain, three-quarters of the energy from the corn flakes is converted to thermal energy. Ifthere were no way to dissipate this energy, by how many degrees would her body temperature increase?(c) In fact, the extra energy does not warm the hiker's body significantly; instead, it goes (mostly) into evaporating water from her skin. How many liters of water should she drink during the hike to replace the lost fluids? (At 25°C, a reasonable temperature to assume, the latent heat of vaporization of water is 580 cal/g, 8% more than at 100°C.)arrow_forward
