The resistance of an exercise bike is often provided by a generator; that is, the energy that you expend is used to generate electric energy, which is then dissipated. Rather than dissipate the energy, it could be used for practical purposes.a. A typical person can maintain a steady energy expenditure of 400 W on a bicycle. Assuming a typical efficiency for the body, and a generator that is 80% efficient, what useful electric power could you produce with a bicycle-powered generator?b. How many people would need to ride bicycle generators simultaneously to power a 400 W TV in the gym?
To make your workouts more productive, you can get an electrical generator that you drive with the rear wheel of your bicycle when it is mounted in a stand.a. Your laptop charger uses 75 W. What is your body’s metabolic power use while running the generator to power your laptop charger, given the typical efficiency for such tasks? Assume 100% efficiency for the generator.b. Your laptop takes 1 hour to recharge. If you run the generator for 1 hour, how much energy does your body use? Express your result in joules and in Calories.
A certain coal-fired power plant has a rated power capacity of P = 850 MW. The output of this plant is W = 0.26QH, where QH is the energy input as heat from the hot reservoir.
a. If the power plant operates for a full day at its rated capacity, how much energy QH in MJ is needed?
b. If, on average, one ton of coal contains Q = 25 GJ of energy, how many tons nH of coal would the plant need to operate for a day at its rated capacity?
c. How many tons nC of this coal is exhausted as wasted heat to QC in a single day?

- I often make tea in my microwave oven. I know that it takes two minutes to bring the temperature of a cup of water from room temperature to just about boiling: ready for the teabag. I looked up the characteristics of a microwave oven. Typically their power rating is about 1000 W, but I know that this is the power consumed from the power company, not the power delivered to the water. I looked up the efficiency of microwave ovens, and found that it is about 64%, meaning that a typical oven delivers 640 W to the water.
