- (a) How long will the energy in a 1470kJ (350kcal) cup of yogurt last in a woman doing work at the rate of 150 W with an efficiency of 20.0% (such as in leisurely climbing stairs)? (b) Does the time found in part (a) imply that it is easy to consume more food energy than you can reasonably expect to work off with exercise?arrow_forwardSewage at a certain pumping station is raised vertically by 5.49 m at the rate of 1 890 000 liters each day. The sewage, of density 1 050 kg/m3, enters and leaves the pump at atmospheric pressure and through pipes of equal diameter. (a) Find the output mechanical power of the lift station. (b) Assume an electric motor continuously operating with average power 5.90 kW runs the pump. Find its efficiency.arrow_forward(a) Calculate the energy in kJ used by a 55.0-kg woman who does 50 deep knee bends in which her center of mass is lowered and raised 0.400 m. (She does work in both directions.) You may assume her efficiency is 20%. (b) What is the average power consumption rate in watts if she does this in 3.00 min?arrow_forward
- How much work is done in blowing up a balloon from zero volume to a volume of 6.4 L, assuming that p = 1.00 bar and no work is required to stretch the rubber? (In reality, the work that goes into stretching the rubber is substantial.)arrow_forwardgive a specific example of a process that has the energy changes and transfers described. (For example, if the question states “ΔEth >0, W = 0,” you are to describe a process that has an increase in thermal energy and no transfer of energy by work. You could write “Heating a pan of water on the stove.”) ΔEth < 0, W = 0arrow_forwardThe winning time for the 2005 annual race up 86 floors of the Empire State Building was 10 min and 49 s. The winner’s mass was 60 kg.a. If each floor was 3.7 m high, what was the winner’s change in gravitational potential energy?b. If the efficiency in climbing stairs is 25%, what total energy did the winner expend during the race?c. How many food Calories did the winner “burn” in the race?d. Of those Calories, how many were converted to thermal energy?e. What was the winner’s metabolic power in watts during the race up the stairs?arrow_forward
- You use a quantity of fuel with a total energy content of 19.02 MJ to power an engine. If the average output of the engine over 2 hours was 2.12 kW, what is the efficiency of the engine?arrow_forwardWhat is the total energy of a system if 200 J of work and 900 J of heat is added into the system? a.1100 b. 700 c. 900 d. 200arrow_forwardA student carries a backpack of 12N and moves horizontally 2 m. How much work is done by student? A. 0 J B. 24Nm C. 24 J D. 24 caloriearrow_forward
- A 60-kg hiker wishes to climb to the summit of Mt. Ogden, an ascent of 5000 vertical feet (1500 m). a.) Assuming that she is 25% efficient at converting chemical energy from food into mechanical work, and that essentially all the mechanical work is used to climb vertically, roughly how many bowls of corn flakes (standard serving size 1 ounce, 100 kilocalories) should the hiker eat before setting out?(b) As the hiker climbs the mountain, three-quarters of the energy from the corn flakes is converted to thermal energy. Ifthere were no way to dissipate this energy, by how many degrees would her body temperature increase?(c) In fact, the extra energy does not warm the hiker's body significantly; instead, it goes (mostly) into evaporating water from her skin. How many liters of water should she drink during the hike to replace the lost fluids? (At 25°C, a reasonable temperature to assume, the latent heat of vaporization of water is 580 cal/g, 8% more than at 100°C.)arrow_forwardWhy are energy equations important in Thermodynamics? Give 5 reasons.arrow_forwardA 4-ton air conditioner removes 5.06×107 J (48,000 British thermal units) from a cold environment in 1.00 h. (a) What energy input in joules is necessary to do this if the air conditioner has an energy efficiency rating (EER) of 12.0? (b) What is the cost of doing this if the work costs 10.0 cents per 3.06×106 J (one kilowatthour)? (c) Discuss whether this cost seems realistic. Note that the energy efficiency rating (EER) of an air conditioner or refrigerator is defined to be the number of British thermal units of heat transfer from a cold environment per hour divided by the watts of power input.arrow_forward
