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 106 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

Heat Q, which has the SI unit of joule (J), is the quantity in mechanical engineering that describes the transit of energy from one location to another. The equation for the flow of heat during the time interval At through an insulated wall is KAAT Q = (Тh — T) where k is the thermal conductivity of the material from which the wall is made, A and L are the wall's area and thickness, and Th – T; is the difference (in degrees Celsius) between the high- and low-temperature sides of the wall. By using the principle of dimensional consistency, what is the correct dimension for thermal conductivity in the SI? The lowercase Greek character kappa (K) is a conventional mathematical symbol used for thermal conductivity. Appendix A summarizes the names and symbols of Greek letters. О a. (W-m)/°C O b. °C/(W. m) O c. (m . °C)/W O d. W/(m . °C)
The solar panels are placed in an optimal position such that they receive a solar power of 1186kWh/m^2 per year1. The average solar cell has an efficiency of 20% and an average household in the Netherlands uses 2990kWh of electricity per year. The average solar panel has dimensions of 165x99cm. How many solar panels do you need?
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?
An object has mass m, surface area A, temperature T, N molecules, and specific heat capacity c. The total thermal energy stored in the object is: Group of answer choices proportional to T^4 proportional to AT proportional to m proportional to cT proportional to NT
Rubbing your hands together warms them by converting work into thermal energy. If a woman rubs her hands back and forth for a total of 20 rubs, at a distance of 7.50 cm per rub, and with an average frictional force of 40.0 N, what is the temperature increase? The mass of tissues warmed is only 0.100 kg mostly in the palms and fingers. Your answer must have three significant figures and the temperature change in centigrade.
The amount of heat needed to change the temperature of an object can be calculated using thefollowing equation:Q = m c p Δ T whereQ = amount of heat in caloriesm = mass of object in gramsc p = specific heat of objectΔ T = change in temperature in ∘ C What is the appropriate unit for c p if the preceding equation is to be homogeneous in units?
After eating a 200 g pottle of yoghurt, a person decides to go for a run to burn off the extra energy. The yoghurt provides 5.4 MJ kg−1, and he is able to raise his metabolic rate to 220W while running. How long does he have to run?
According to the Ideal Gas Law, PV = kT, where P is pressure, Vis volume, T is temperature (in Kelvins), and k is a constant of proportionality. A tank contains 2000 cubic inches of nitrogen at a pressure of 26 pounds per square inch and a temperature of 600 K. Determine the EXACT value of k.
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
