When working on a PHYS 1510 weekly assignment, a student decided to get a medium double double coffee from Tim Hortons (a coffee made with two creams and two sugars). After drinking it, the student looked up the nutritional value of the drink, and was shocked to find it was listed as 230.0 kcal (230.0 nutritional calories). After drinking the coffee, they weighed 87.88 kg. To work off all the calories, the student decides to climb the stairs in their building. How many floors do they need to climb to burn off the entire drink? (do not include units) Assume all floors are 3.00 m apart from each other. Assume all nutritional energy is fully converted to potential energy. 1 kcal = 4184 J
The average life expectancy in Japan is 81 years. What is this time in SI units?
A food calorie is a unit of energy such that 1 food calorie = 4184 J. This means that a person that burns energy with a power of 4184 W would burn one food calorie every second. A more typical human power rate is 90 W (called the basal metabolic rate). At this rate, how many calories are burned per second (or alternatively, how many seconds does it take to burn 1 calorie)?
At a certain location, the solar power per unit area reaching Earth's surface is 200 W/ m^2, averaged over a 24-hour day. If the average power requirement in your home is 3 kW and you can convert solar power to electric power with 10 % efficiency, how large a collector area will you need to meet all your household energy requirements from solar energy? (Will a collector fit in your yard or on your roof? ).
In 1923, the United States Army (there was no United States Air Force at that time) set a record for in-flight refueling of airplanes. Using two refueling planes, an Airco DH-4B biplane was able to remain in flight for 36 h. During the flight, the refueling planes were able to air-transfer a total of 687 gallons of fuel to the plane in 9 refueling transfers. Assume that the refueling nozzle had a diameter of 1.35 and each refueling took 2.41 min to perform. Calculate the velocity of the fuel through the nozzle. Assume that the fuel filled the entire cross-sectional area of the nozzle. velocity: m/s
