When someone has a fever, his or her body temperature might increase by as much as 2°C. Suppose this person has a mass of 48 kg.
(a) About how much energy is required to raise a person’s temperature this much?
The energy required to raise the person’s temperature is ___J
(b) What is this energy in food calories? (1 food calorie ≡ 1 Cal ≡ 1000 calories = 1 kcal.)
The energy in food calories is ___cal
When working on a PHYS 1510 weekly assignment, a student decided to get a medium double double coffee from
Tim Hortons (a coffee made with two creams and two sugars).
After drinking it, the student looked up the nutritional value of the drink, and was shocked to find it was listed as
230.0 kcal (230.0 nutritional calories). After drinking the coffee, they weighed 87.88 kg.
To work off all the calories, the student decides to climb the stairs in their building. How many floors do they need to
climb to burn off the entire drink? (do not include units)
Assume all floors are 3.00 m apart from each other.
Assume all nutritional energy is fully converted to potential energy.
1 kcal = 4184 J
A 42 client with a body mass of 74 kg is interested in
jogging on the treadmill as their primary means of
exercise, while they listen to their "pump-up" music
playlist that lasts exactly 28 minutes. To be sure they
get the recommended volume of exercise each
week, you'd like to have your client burn 350 kcal in
each jogging session. To achieve this, what should
your client set as the treadmill speed while running,
in miles per hour?
