When you drink cold water, your body must expend metabolic energy in order to maintain normal body temperature (37° C) by warming up the water in your stomach. Could drinking ice water, then, substitute for exercise as a way to "burn calories?" Suppose you expend 566 kilocalories during a brisk hour-long walk. How many liters of ice water (0° C) would you have to drink in order to use up 566 kilocalories of metabolic energy? For comparison, the stomach can hold about 1 liter. liters

When you ride a bicycle at constant speed, nearly all the energy you expend goes into the work you do against the drag force of the air. Model a cyclist as having cross-section area 0.46 m2 and, because the human body is not aerodynamically shaped, a drag coefficient of 0.90. A) What is the cyclist's power output while riding at a steady 7.3 m/s (16 mph)? B)Metabolic power is the rate at which your body "burns" fuel to power your...

7)When you jog, most of the food energy you burn above your basal metabolic rate (BMR) ends up as internal energy that would raise your body temperature if it were not eliminated. The evaporation of perspiration is the primary mechanism for eliminating this energy. Determine the amount of water you lose to evaporation when running for 38 minutes at a rate that uses 400 kcal/h above your BMR. (That amount is often considered to be the "maximum fat-burning" energy output....
