The amount of oxygen used by the body in metabolism is proportional to the energy yield, with 1 liter of oxygen combining with foods to produce about 20,000 joules. If the oxygen consumed in one minute is 1.5L during vigorous exercise, what is the metabolic rate in watts (i.e., what is the average power during this minute)

At sea level a nitrogen molecule has an average translational kinetic energy of 8.7 x 10-21 J. Its mass is 4.7 x 10-26 kg. If such a molecule could shoot straight up without striking other air molecules, how high would it rise? Express your answer in km
2. Write an expression for the kinetic energy of an object in a circular orbit. Write this in terms of the object's GPE.
Brad tries out a weight-loss plan that involves repeatedly lifting a 44.2-kg barbell from the floor over his head to a height of 2.00 m. If he is able to complete three such lifts per minute, how long will it take for him to lose 0.50 kg of fat? “Burning” 1 g of fat supplies 38.8 kJ to the body; of this, 10.0% can be used by the muscles to lift the barbell. (Ignore the fat “burned” while he lowers the barbell to the floor.)
The awe-inspiring Great Pyramid of Cheops was built more than 4500 years ago. Its square base, originally 230 m on a side, covered 13.1 acres, and it was 146 m high, with a mass of about 7×109 kg. (The pyramid’s dimensions are slightly different today due to quarrying and some sagging.) Historians estimate that 20,000 workers spent 20 years to construct it, working 12-hour days, 330 days per year. (a) Calculate the gravitational potential energy stored in the pyramid, given its center of mass is at one-fourth its height. (b) Only a fraction of the workers lifted blocks; most were involved in support services such as building ramps (as shown), bringing food and water, and hauling blocks to the site. Calculate the efficiency of the workers who did the lifting, assuming there were 1000 of them and they consumed food energy at the rate of 300 kcal/h. What does your answer imply about how much of their work went into block-lifting, versus how much work went into friction and lifting and…
7. A cone of radius 6m and height 3m has volume 367 m³. A cone of radius 3m and height 12m has the same volume. Both cones are oriented so that the point is up. The cone of radius 6m is built out of chocolate of density 1325 kg/m³. The cone of radius 3 m is built out of marshmallow of density 500 kg/m³. Determine which takes more work to build by finding the work to build each. Be sure to include units.
