A sleeping 68 kg man has a metabolic power of 75 W . How many Calories does he burn during an 8.0 hour sleep? Express your answer using two significant figures.
A person's basal metabolic rate (BMR) is the rate at which energy is expended while resting in a neutrally temperate environment. A typical BMR is 7.22 x 10° J/day. Convert this BMR to units of watts and kilocalories (or Calories) per hour. HINT (a) watts W (b) kilocalories per hour kcal/h (c) Suppose a 1.00 kg object's gravitation potential energy is increased at a rate equal to this typical BMR. Find the rate of change of the object's height in m/s. (The acceleration of gravity is g = 9.80 m/s2.) m/s
A weight lifter bench‑presses a 150.0 kg barbell from his chest to a height equal the length of his arms, 0.850 m How many food calories does the weight lifter use if he does this lift 35 times? Assume the weight lifter does no work in letting the barbell drop back to his chest.
