A 53−kg person drinks5.4×102g of milk, which has a caloric value of approximately 3.0 kJ/g.If only 17 percent of the energy in milk is converted to mechanical work, how high (in meters) can the person climb based on this energy intake? Enter your answer in scientific notation. Hint: The work done in ascending is given by mgh, where m is the mass (in kg), g is the gravitational acceleration(9.8 m/s2), and h is the height (in meters).
An ideally efficient freezer cools food to 210 K. If room temperature is 300 K, and the machine consumes 64 J of work, how much heat was removed from the food?
How many metres can a man weighing 60 kg climb by using the energy from a slice of bread which produces 1,00,000 calories of heat? Efficiency of body is 28%?
