    If the air temperature is the same as the temperature of your skin (about 30.0 oC), your body cannot get rid of heat by transferring it to the air. In that case, it gets rid of the heat by evaporating water (sweat). During bicycling, a typical 70.0kg person's body produces energy at a rate of about 53.6 W due to metabolism, 80.0% of which is converted to heat. How many kilograms of water must the person's body evaporate in an...

    A car engine whose output power is 145 hp operates at about 16 % efficiency. Assume the engine's water temperature of 79 ∘C is its cold-temperature (exhaust) reservoir and 495 ∘C is its thermal "intake" temperature (the temperature of the exploding gas-air mixture). What is the ratio of its efficiency relative to its maximum possible (Carnot) efficiency? Estimate how much power (in watts) goes into moving the car. How much heat, in joules and in kcal, is exhausted to the...

    2. Running up the stairs (5 pts). Time how long it takes for you (or a friend) to run as fast as possible up a staircase. Measure the height of one step and count the steps to find how high you climbed. a) How much mechanical energy did you produce to climb the stairs? b) What was the average mechanical power produced during your climb? c) Estimate the muscle mass in your upper legs (quadriceps, hamstrings, and buttocks). (Recall that...

    Each pound of fat contains 3500 food calories. When the body metabolizes food, 80.5% of this energy goes to heat. Suppose you decide to run without stopping, an activity that produces 1340 W of metabolic power for a typical person. Part A) For how many hours must you run to burn up 1 lb of fat? Part B) If you followed your planned exercise program, how much heat would your body produce when you burn up a pound of fat?...
