d. Suppose you try to "lose" the calories gained when eating the "Big Mac meal" by exercising - say by doing an equivalent amount of work in the gymnasium by lifting a 50 kg "weight" a vertical distance of 5 feet (convert to metre). (i) To compensate for the calories gained by eating the Big Mac meal, how much total work in Joules must be expended by exercising? Exercise work equivalent to ◻ Joules (ii) How much work is expended in lifting the 50 kg weight 5 feet once? 5 feet = ◻ metre Work to lift 50 kg mass a vertical distance of 5 fee ◻ (iii) How many times must you raise the "weight" to expend the total energy gained from food?

A student eats a dinner rated at 2000 (food) Calories. He wishes to do an equivalent amount of work in the gymnasium by lifting a 50 kg mass. How many times must he raise the mass to expend this amount of energy? Assume that he raises it a distance of 2 m each time and that he regains no energy when it is dropped to the floor. The acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m/s² and 1 food Calorie is 10³ calories. List which equations

A student eats a dinner rated at 2 000 Calories. He wishes to do an equivalent amount of work in the gymnasium by lifting a 50.0-kg barbell. How many times must he raise the barbell to expend this much energy? Assume he raises the barbell 2.00 m each time he lifts it and he transfers no energy when he lowers the barbell.

(a) How much work must a person do, in joules, to offset eating a meal of 1500 calories (kcal)? (b) What is the answer in kilowatt-hours? (Remember: The dietary Calorie [kcal] is 1000 "physics" calories. One joule is equal to one watt-second.)
