The rate at which a resting person converts food energy is called one’s basal metabolic rate (BMR). Assume that the resulting internal energy leaves a person’s body by radiation and convection of dry air. When you jog, most of the food energy you burn above your BMR becomes internalenergy that would raise your body temperature if it were not eliminated. Assume that evaporation of perspiration is the mechanism for eliminating this energy. Suppose a person is jogging for “maximum fat burning,” converting food energy at the rate 400 kcal/h above his BMR, and putting out energy by work at the rate 60.0 W. Assume that the heat of evaporation of water at body temperature is equal to its heat of vaporization at 100°C. (a) Determine the hourly rate at which water must evaporate from his skin. (b) When you metabolize fat, the hydrogen atoms in the fat molecule are transferred to oxygen to form water. Assume that metabolism of 1.00 g of fat generates 9.00 kcal of energy and produces 1.00 g of…
A worker drives a 0.500 kg spike into a rail tie with a 2.50 kg sledgehammer. The hammer hits the spike with a speed of 65.0 m/s. If one-third of the hammer’s kinetic energy is converted to internal energy of the hammer and the spike, how much does the total internal energy increase?
Because of its metabolic processes, your body
continually emits thermal energy. Suppose that the
air in your bedroom absorbs all of this thermal
energy during the time you sleep at night (8.0
hours). Assume your metabolic rate to be
P = 80 J/s.
