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 person's basal metabolic rate (BMR) is the rate at which energy is expended while resting in a neutrally temperate environment. A typical BMR is 7.22 x 10° J/day. Convert this
BMR to units of watts and kilocalories (or Calories) per hour.
HINT
(a) watts
W
(b) kilocalories per hour
kcal/h
(c)
Suppose a 1.00 kg object's gravitation potential energy is increased at a rate equal to this typical BMR. Find the rate of change of the object's height in m/s. (The
acceleration of gravity is g = 9.80 m/s2.)

Convert this BMR to units of (a) watts and (b) kilocalories (or Calories) per hour. (c) Suppose a 1.00-kg object’s gravitation potential energy is increased at a rate equal to this typical BMR.

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

- A student evaluates a weight loss program by calculating the number of times she would need to climb a 13.0 m high flight of steps in order to lose one pound (0.45 kg) of fat. Metabolizing 1.00 kg of fat can release 3.77 x 10'J of chemical energy and the body can convert about 21.8% of this into mechanical energy (the rest goes into internal energy.) HINT (a) How much mechanical energy (in J) can the body produce from 0.450 kg of fat? (b) How many trips up the flight of steps are required for the 70.0 kg student to lose 0.450 kg of fat? Ignore the relatively small amount of energy required to return down the stairs. tripsarrow_forwardA student evaluates a weight loss program by calculating the number of times she would need to climb a 10.0 m high flight of steps in order to lose one pound (0.45 kg) of fat.

- The food calorie, equal to 4186 J, is a measure of how much energy is released when food is metabolized by the body. A Milo Bar contains 180 food calories per bar. (a) If a 70-kg hiker eats one Milo Bar, how high a mountain must he climb to “work off” the calories, assuming that all the food energy goes only into increasing gravitational potential energy? (b) If, as is typical, only 20% of the food calories go into mechanical energy, what would be the answer to part (a)? (NOTE: In this problem, we assume that 100% of the food calories that are eaten are absorbed and used by the body. This is actually not true. A person’s “metabolic efficiency” is the percentage of calories eaten that are actually used; the rest are eliminated by the body. Metabolic efficiency varies considerably from person to person.)arrow_forwardA pearl diver fills his lungs with 5.25 LL of air at normal atmospheric pressure and then dives to 22.1 mm, where the pressure is 3.21 atmatm.
