Solve the following problem. Round off the final answer to three decimal places.
A popular web site state that a 200 pound person will burn 450 calories/hour bicycling
(moderate effort) and 650 calories/hour rock climbing (ascending). A 150 pound person
decides to start a training routine in which she will bicycle for 45 minutes, 3 times a week and
rock climb for 1.50 hours every weekend. How many calories will she have burned after 8 weeks
of training (assuming she consumes at the same rate)?
Large meteors sometimes strike the Earth, converting most of their kinetic energy into thermal energy.
(a) What is the kinetic energy of a 109 kg meteor moving at 25.0 km/s? (b) If this meteor lands in a deep ocean and 80% of its kinetic energy goes into heating water, how many kilograms of water could it raise by 5.0ºC? (c) Discuss how the energy of the meteor is more likely to be deposited in the ocean and the likely effects of that energy.
