Answer:
Yes, the calorie can be expressed in SI units
Explanation:
1 calorie (1 cal) is defined as the amount of heat energy that must be supplied to 1 gram of water in order to raise its temperature by 1 degree Celsius (.
The calorie is not a unit of the International System (SI): the SI unit for the energy is the Joule (J).
However, it is possible to convert energy from calories to Joules, and viceversa. In fact, the conversion factor between the two units is:
1 calorie = 4.184 Joules
So, to convert from calories to Joules we simply multiply by 4.184, while if we want to convert from Joules to calories, we just divide by 4.184.
Answer:
37357 sec
or 622 min
or 10.4 hrs
Explanation:
GIVEN DATA:
Lifting weight 80 kg
1 cal = 4184 J
from information given in question we have
one lb fat consist of 3500 calories = 3500 x 4184 J
= 14.644 x 10^6 J
Energy burns in 1 lift = m g h
= 80 x 9.8 x 1 = 784 J
lifts required
= 18679
from the question,
1 lift in 2 sec.
so, total time = 18679 x 2 = 37357 sec
or 622 min
or 10.4 hrs
