For saving energy, bicycling and walking are far more efficient means of transportation than is travel by automobile. For example, when riding at 11.0 mi/h, a cyclist uses food energy at a rate of about 420 kcal/h above what he would use if merely sitting still. (In exercise physiology, power is often measured in kcal/h rather than in watts. Here 1 kcal = 1 nutritionist's Calorie = 4186 J.) Walking at 2.70 mi/h requires about 240 kcal/h. It is interesting to compare these values with the energy consumption required for travel by car. Gasoline yields about 1.30 108 J/gal.(a) Find the fuel economy in equivalent miles per gallon for a person walking.1 mi/gal(b) Find the fuel economy in equivalent miles per gallon for a person bicycling.2 mi/gal

a) 349.4 mi/gal

b) 813.4 mi/gal

Explanation:

Given,

- 1 kcal = 1 nutritionist's Calorie = 4186 J

- Walking at 2.70 mi/h requires about 240 kcal/h.

- Riding at 11.0 mi/h, a cyclist uses food energy at a rate of about 420 kcal/h

- Gasoline yields about (1.30 × 10⁸) J/gal

a) Fuel economy in equivalent miles per gallon for a person walking.

A person walking burns 240 kcal/h walking at a speed of 2.70 mi/h

In 1 hour, a person burns 240 kcal walking 2.70 mi.

Converting kcal to J

1 kcal = 4186 J

240 kcal = 240 × 4186 = 1,004,640 J

This means, 1,004,640 J is burned walking 2.7 miles.

Gasoline yields (1.3 × 10⁸) J/gal

The fuel economy is then calculated.

1,004,640 J = 2.7 miles

(1.3 × 10⁸) J/gal = [(2.7 × 1.3 × 10⁸)/1,004,640] mi/gal

(1.3 × 10⁸) J/gal = 349.4 mi/gal.

b) Fuel economy in equivalent miles per gallon for a person bicycling.

A person bicycling burns 420 kcal/h cycling at a speed of 11.0 mi/h

In 1 hour, a person burns 420 kcal bicycling 11.0 mi.

Converting kcal to J

1 kcal = 4186 J

420 kcal = 420 × 4186 = 1,758,120 J

This means, 1,758,120 J is burned bicycling 11.0 miles.

Gasoline yields (1.3 × 10⁸) J/gal

The fuel economy is then calculated.

1,758,120 J = 11.0 miles

(1.3 × 10⁸) J/gal = [(11 × 1.3 × 10⁸)/1,758,120] mi/gal

(1.3 × 10⁸) J/gal = 813.4 mi/gal.

Hope this Helps!!!

hi there!

your question asks at which segment does freezing occur.

since we're talking about water, the freezing point of water will be 32 degrees fahrenheit or below.

hope this ! ~
