Problem 4: Energy that is not utilized for work or heat transfer in the human body is converted to the chemical energy of body fat, which contains
about 39 kJ/g.
How many grams of fat will you gain if you eat 2650 kcal one day and do nothing but sit relaxed for 16.0 h and sleep for the other 8.00 h? (Assume
sleeping burns 1.2 kcal/min, while sitting relaxed burns 1.7 kcal/min.)
mfat =
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.

- (a) How long will the energy in a 1470kJ (350kcal) cup of yogurt last in a woman doing work at the rate of 150 W with an efficiency of 20.0% (such as in leisurely climbing stairs)? (b) Does the time found in part (a) imply that it is easy to consume more food energy than you can reasonably expect to work off with exercise?arrow_forwardWhen jogging at 13 km/h on a level surface, a 70-kg man uses energy at a rate of approximately 850 W. Using the facts that the “human engine” is approximately 25 efficient, determine the rate at which this man uses energy when jogging up a 5.0 slope at this same speed. Assume that the frictional retarding force is the same in both cases.arrow_forwardThe food calorie, equal to 4186 J, is a measure of how much energy is released when the body metabolizes food. A certain fruit-and-cereal bar contains 140 food calories. (a) If a 65 kg hiker eats one bar, how high a mountain must he climb to “work off” the calories, assuming that all the food energy goes 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 and all other problems, we are assuming that 100% of the food calories that are eaten are absorbed and used by the body. This is not true. A person’s “metabolic efficiency” is the percentage of calories eaten that are actually used; the body eliminates the rest. Metabolic efficiency varies considerably from person to person.)arrow_forward
