- If you follow a diet of 1600 food calories per day (1600 kilocalories), what is your average power consumption in Watts? (A food or "large" calorie is a unit of energy equal to 4.2 ×10³ J.)

The car rental agency will allow you to choose either the gas or electric version of certain car model and the mileage fee is the same for both. If you choose the electric vehicle, you will need to do about 200 km extra driving since you need to stray from the main route to find electric charging stations. Assume the effective energy prices are constant at $0.108/MJ for gas and $0.063/MJ for electric. Further assume that the force due to rolling resistance is 260 N and the force due to air drag is 270 N. What total price in dollars will you pay for energy for each of the car types to overcome just these two forces while making this trip?
