Aworld class runner can run long distances at a pace of 15 km/hour. that runner expends 800 kilocalories of energy per hour. a) find the power (in watts [w]) the runner is exerting while running. b) find the total energy (in joules [j]) exerted by the runner in a 15 km run. c) how many milky way (original single 52.2g) chocolate bars does the runner need to buy to supply the amount of energy to complete a half-marathon (13.1 miles)? (cite your source for the number of calories in a milky way bar)

a) 1.05kW b) 3.78MJ c) 5.3 bars

Explanation :

A)

Conversions give 900 kcal as 900000 x 4.2 J/cal {4.2 J/cal is the standard factor}

= 3780kJ

And 1 hour = 3600s

Therefore, Power in watts = 3780/3600 = 1.05kW = 1050W

B)

At 15km/hour a 15km run takes 1 hour.

1 hour is 3600s and the runner burns 1050 joule per second.

Energy used in 1 hour = 3600 x 1050 J/s

= 3780000 J or 3.78MJ

C)

1 mile = 1.61km so 13.1 mile is 13.1 x 1.61 = 21.1km

15km needs 3.78 MJ of energy therefore 21.1km needs 3.78 x 21.1/15 = 5.32MJ =5320 kJ

Finally,

1 Milky Way = 240000 calories = 4.2 x 240000 J = 1008000J or 1008kJ

This means that the runner needs 5320/1008 = 5.3 bars

how is this a question? in order for me to answer it i have to understand the question
