A 70-kg physicist is running up the stairs of the physics building and makes it up 48 m vertically in 1 minute.
(a) what is the physicist's power output while running up the stairs?
(b) if the physicist's work efficiency is just 3%, at what rate were they using metabolic energy?
(c) if the physicist's metabolism can provide 5.6x10^6 J of energy before they need a rest, how long could they continue running up the stairs?
A 75 kg sprinter accelerates from 0 to 8.0 m/s in 5.0 s. What is the metabolic energy, in kJ (kiloJoules)?
Your answer needs to have 2 significant figure, 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.
Your brain consumes about 22 W of power, and avocados have
been shown to promote brain health. If each avocado contains 310 C, and your
brain were powered entirely by the energy from the avocados, how many must
you eat each day?
