Students have asked these similar questions
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?
While solving a problem, a person ends up with the equation E = 16 kJ + 7 kJ/kg at some stage. Here E is the total energy and has the unit of kilojoules. Determine how to correct the error and discuss what may have caused it.
If you expended 1500 watts for 3 hours, how
many kilowatt-hours (kWh) would that be? Enter
answer as number followed by a space and then
the correct units (i.e "123 Unit").
