Answer:

The oxygen level of the female decreased below the minimum level due to excess carbon monoxide level in red blood cells and there is consequent alarming decrease in metabolic state.

Explanation:

The woman is clinically suffering from a emergency condition called carbon monoxide poisoning. Carbon monoxide being an odorless gas is very hard to detect. It combines with hemoglobin of the blood thereby replacing oxygen and renders the hemoglobin incapable of carrying oxygen to the tissues. As a result severe symptoms like shortness of breath, dizziness, headache, blurring of vision with loss of consciousness. The metabolic rate becomes alarmingly low and this situation demands immediate hospitalization.

How many food calories can a human burn up in an hour by exercising at this rate? (remember that only 20.0 % of the food energy
blsea [12.9K]

Human can produce a maximum mechanical power of 1/3 hp (horse-power).

Horse power is a unit of power, it equals 746 watt (watt is also a power unit, known to be equal to a joule per second)


So:

1 ph = 746 watt = 746 J/s

1/3 ph = 248.6 J/s

we're looking for the calories, so

1 joule = 0.239006 calories


So human produce a maximum mechanical power of:

248.6 J/s = 82.88 calories per second.


We're looking for the number of calories consumed in three hours, so:

82.88 cal/s = 82.88 cal/s * 3600 s * 3 = 895200 calories = 895.2 kilocalories (food calories).


The number of food calories is 895.2 food calories
