For this quesiton please review; https://openstax.org/books/college-physics-ap-courses/pages/7-8-work-energy-and-power-in-humans You've heard the joke, how many people does it take to change a lightbulb? Here a physics spin on that joke. Show us your own solution to the following scenario. There are multiple right answers. You provide the variables and justify your response in the chat. How many humans, doing what kind of work, eating how many calories (at some point you may want to convert to Joules) , over what period of time would generate the power needed to run a 1kW electric fire for one hour? Think about this in steps - how much energy do you need? How can you use that energy up ? Is this a one person job? Would answers change if you wanted to deliver the same energy in a shorter time period (higher power?)
