Answer:
The hiker has to climb 941.26 to ''work off'' the calories.
Explanation:
Let's first find out how much energy the hiker gets from 150 food calories.
This is:
Energy = 150 * 4186
Energy = 627.9 kJ
To burn all of this off, we set it equal to the gravitational potential energy, and then solve for the height.
This is:
Gravitational Potential Energy (G.P.E) = 629700
G.P.E = mass * gravity * height
Thus,
mass * gravity * height = 629700
68 * 9.81 * height = 629700
height = 941.26 meters
Benjamin Banneker did this in 1792. Hope this helps
You can reason it out like this:
-- The car starts from rest, and goes 8 m/s faster every second.
-- After 30 seconds, it's going (30 x 8) = 240 m/s.
-- Its average speed during that 30 sec is (1/2) (0 + 240) = 120 m/s
-- Distance covered in 30 sec at an average speed of 120 m/s
= 3,600 meters .
___________________________________
The formula that has all of this in it is the formula for
distance covered when accelerating from rest:
Distance = (1/2) · (acceleration) · (time)²
= (1/2) · (8 m/s²) · (30 sec)²
= (4 m/s²) · (900 sec²)
= 3600 meters.

When you translate these numbers into units for which
we have an intuitive feeling, you find that this problem is
quite bogus, but entertaining nonetheless.
When the light turns green, Andy mashes the pedal to the metal
and covers almost 2.25 miles in 30 seconds.
How does he do that ?
By accelerating at 8 m/s². That's about 0.82 G !
He does zero to 60 mph in 3.4 seconds, and at the end
of the 30 seconds, he's moving at 534 mph !
He doesn't need to worry about getting a speeding ticket.
Police cars and helicopters can't go that fast, and his local
police department doesn't have a jet fighter plane to chase
cars with.
