Question
Chapter 9, Problem 43E
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The useful energy (in kilojoules) derived and the energy (in kilojoules) consumed in the given energy transfer processes are to be calculated.
Concept introduction:
The power derived from the utilization of chemical or physical resources to provide heat and light or to carry out various processes is known as energy. The SI unit of energy is joule.
Unit conversion is a multiple-step process that is used to convert the unit of measurement of a given quantity. It is determined by multiplication with a conversion factor.
The useful energy derived can be calculated by using the equation:

One hour of bicycle riding can require
500-900 kcal of energy, depending on
the speed, the terrain, and the weight of
the racer. An individual wants to lose
weight by riding at a modest effort,
consuming 505 kcal of energy per hour.
How many hours must he ride to lose 21.0
pounds of body fat? One gram of body fat
is equivalent to 7.70 kcal of energy. There
