In a cycling road race consisting of a flat section and an uphill section, a particular cyclist pedals with an average power of 324 watts for 5.50 hours on the flat section of the course, and an average power of 418 watts for 30.0 minutes while climbing the uphill section, which has an average grade of 6%. potentially useful information: power = energy/time; 1 watt = 1 joule/sec; 1 kcal = 4186 j
(note, 1 kcal = 1 food calorie)
(a) calculate the average mechanical power output of the cyclist over the whole race.
(b) given that the human body has an efficiency of 25.0% at converting food energy into mechanical
output, how many kcal of food energy must the cyclist consume to replace the mechanical energy expended during the race?

Ajet plane has a sound level of 120 db at a distance of 60 m. what is the q23. sound level at a distance of 6.0 km? (60)2 (6000)? om solution 80db db, hint: 16x assume ultrasound waves travel through the body of an animal at 1540 q24. m/s. if a 30,000 hz signal were reflected off a portion of a heart which was moving toward the source at 3 m/s, what frequency signal would return to the stationary source? solution 30.117hz
