Chapter 16, Problem 73GP
BIO Brain Power As you read this problem, your brain is consuming about 22 W of power. (a) If your mass is 65 kg, how many steps with a height of 21 cm must you climb to expend a mechanical energy equivalent to one hour of brain operation? (b) A typical human brain, which is 77% water, has a mass of 1.4 kg. Assuming that the 22 W of brain power is converted to heat, what temperature rise would you estimate for the brain in one hour of operation? Ignore the significant

A PHYS 1510 student was working on a robotics project. The joints on the machine they were building were powered
by pistons.
Based on how hot the machine was getting, the student was able to figure out that 2.34 J of thermal energy was
produced by every piston every time the piston was fully extended to 0.4064 m.
What was the force of friction that the piston experienced during every extension?
Assume friction is the only source of thermal energy. Include units in Sl.
27 J of heat energy is transferred into an ideal gas and 46 J of work is done on the gas. What is the change in
thermal energy, in Joules?
Your answer needs to have 2 significant figures, including the negative sign in your answer if needed. Do not
include the positive sign if the answer is positive. No unit is needed in your answer, it is already given in the
question statement.
Consider the thermodynamic process, A->B->C->A shown above. The heat absorbed during A->B is 591J. If the change in internal energy during B->C is 4146J, What is the change in internal energy in SI units during C->A? Express only the number of your answer with 4 significant figures.

- Q20: Dr. Fahrrad has been riding his bike to his job and is curious how many ATP his body is breaking apart in order to do the work required to get to his job. Dr. Fahrrad rides 8.6 kilometers to his job, has a mass of 68.4 kilograms and has an average acceleration of 2.4 kilometers per second squared. The molecule ATP is able to do work, measured in kilojoules per mole of ATP broken into ADP. The SI unit for work is a joule. Using the information given we can calculate work and then convert to moles of ATP. The first step is to take stock of what we are given in the word problem and what we are trying to find. We have mass, distance, and average acceleration. We are trying to find how many ATP are required to power the bike ride to work.
