human energy problem!
okay...i have this assignment that's due tomorrow morning so I'm begging for some help. There is only one problem that I'm totally lost on.
A 50 kg hiker climbs a mountain 1000m high in 3 hrs. Assuming the average O2 consumption during his climb was 2x10^-3 m^3/min(2 liters/min) corresponding to an energy expenditure of 4x10^4J/min, how much energy appears as heat in the body?
Any help would be great...Thanks so much!![Smile :smile: :smile:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
