how long in minutes will the energy in an 871 kj (208 kcal) cup of yogurt last in a woman doing work at the rate of 155 w with an efficiency of 20.0% (such as in leisurely climbing stairs)?

Answer :

The energy in an 871 KJ cup of yogurt will last for 18.71 minutes .

In the question ,

it is given that ,

efficiency is = 20% = 0.20 .

the rate of work is 155W ,

we know that Efficiency = [tex]\frac{E_{obtain} }{E_{consumed} }[/tex]

substituting the values ,  

we get ,

[tex]E_{consumed}[/tex] = 155/0.20

= 775 J/sec .

This means that for work of 155W it require to consume energy at the rate of 775 J/sec .

we know that the formula for time , energy and rate  is

Time  = Energy/Rate

time = 871000/775

= 1123 seconds

= 18.71 minutes

Therefore , The energy in the yogurt will last for 18.71 minutes .
