Question

Look at the table for energy used in activities. Ella does 2 hours of dancing a week, plays football for 1 hour a week, and goes swimming for 0.5 hours a week. She has a mass of 55kg. How much extra energy will she need a week in order to do these activities?

Answer 1

Ella requires 3905 kJ of energy to do 2 hours of dancing a week, 1 hour of football a week, and 0.5 hours of swimming a week.

Ella, with a mass of 55 kg, does a series of activities in a week.

Let's calculate how much energy she needs for each activity in total.

Dancing

Ellas does 2 hours of dancing a week, which consumes 18 kJ/kg.h.

2 h × 55 kg × 18 kJ/kg.h =  1980 kJ

Football

Ella plays 1 hour of football a week, which consumes 25 kJ/kg.h.

1 h × 55 kg × 25 kJ/kg.h =  1375 kJ

Swimming

Ella goes swimming for 0.5 hours a week, which consumes 20 kJ/kg.h.

0.5 h × 55 kg × 20 kJ/kg.h =  550 kJ

Total energy expenditure

E = 1980 kJ + 1375 kJ + 550 kJ = 3905 kJ

Ella requires 3905 kJ of energy to do 2 hours of dancing a week, 1 hour of football a week, and 0.5 hours of swimming a week.
