Question
How much fat will the person use up in 10 days?(A) $6.25 \times 10^{-2} \mathrm{~kg}$(B) $12.5 \times 10^{-2} \mathrm{~kg}$(C) $25 \times 10^{-2} \mathrm{~kg}$(D) $3.125 \times 10^{-2} \mathrm{~kg}$
Step 1
This energy is supplied for 10 days. So, the total energy supplied by the fat for 10 days is $5 \times 10^{4} \times 10$ joules. Show more…

How much energy does fat supply each day? (A) $5 \times 10^{4} \mathrm{~J}$ (B) $2.5 \times 10^{5} \mathrm{~J}$ (C) $8 \times 10^{6} \mathrm{~J}$ (D) $4 \times 10^{6} \mathrm{~J}$
A person trying to lose weight (dieter) lifts a $10 \mathrm{~kg}$ mass, one thousand times, to a height of $0.5 \mathrm{~m}$ each time. Assume that the potential energy lost each time she lowers the mass is dissipated. (a) How much work does she do against the gravitational force ? (b) Fat supplies $3.8 \times 10^{7} \mathrm{~J}$ of energy per kilogram which is converted to mechanical energy with a $20 \%$ efficiency rate. How much fat will the dieter use up?
A person trying to lose weight by burning fat lifts a mass of $10 \mathrm{~kg}$ up to a height of $1 \mathrm{~m} 1000$ times. Assume that the potential energy lost each time he lowers the mass is dissipated. How much fat will he use up considering the work done only when the weight is lifted up? Fat supplies $3.8 \times 10^{7} \mathrm{~J}$ of energy per $\mathrm{kg}$, which is converted into mechanical energy with a $20 \%$ efficiency rate. Take $g=9.8 \mathrm{~ms}^{-2}$ : $\quad$ [2016] (A) $6.45 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~kg}$ (B) $9.89 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~kg}$ (C) $12.89 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~kg}$ (D) $2.45 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~kg}$
