Question
Chapter 9, Problem 32E
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The energy
Concept Introduction:
Unit conversion is defined as the process in which multiple steps are there and is used to convert the unit of measurement for the same given quantity. It is determined by multiply with a conversion factor.
The fraction in which numerator and denominator, both are the same quantities but are determined in different units is known as a conversion factor.

A car whose mass is 5.30 x 10° lb is traveling at a speed of 53 miles per hour. What is the kinetic energy
of the car in joules? In calories? Look up relevant conversion factors.

Carbohydrates serve as a vital source of chemical energy to the human body. Carbohydrates are broken down into smaller units of glucose, among other sugars, providing energy to various muscles and organs, including the brain. On average, for every 11.0 g11.0 g of carbohydrates consumed, the body will store 187 kJ187 kJ of energy.
Convert this energy value to kilocalories (kcal).
Electrical energy is usually measured in kiloWatt-hours, kWh. A Watt
is 1 joule per second. A kiloWatt is 1000 joules per second. An hour
has 3600 seconds. Therefore 1 kWh = 3.6x106 joules.
How many kWh are there in a meal that is 776 Cal, or nutritional
calories? Just put in the number. The assumption is the unit is kWh.
1 Nutritional Cal = 1 kcal (exact)
1 cal = 4.184 joules (exact)
kilo 103 (exact)
1 kWh = 3.6x106 joules (exact)
=
