Suppose that the breakfast of a typical 65kg adult gives him 1.85x10^5 J of energy. How long does he have to do push-ups to burn at least 50 percent of this energy?

Answer:

2 hrs and 25 mins or 145 mins

Explanation:

Apply the formula [tex]U = mgh[/tex] where m = mass, g = gravitational acceleration and h = height/time

Since we want to find how long does he have to do push-ups, h will be the time

[tex]\frac{1.85(10^5)}{2} =65(9.8)h[/tex]

[tex]185,000=637h[/tex]

[tex]h = \frac{185,000}{637}[/tex] ≈ [tex]145[/tex]

Therefore the answer is 145 minutes or 2 hrs. and 25 mins
