You go out to eat for lunch/dinner. For any meal that you like, calculate the total calorie value of the meal in calories and Joules. (Remember that a food calorie is 1,000 calories). a. After you get home, you use an exercise bike, riding at 170 cal/hour. How long do you need to pedal to work off dinner? b. Instead of wasting all that energy pedaling to produce only heat, you attach a generator to the wheels of the bike to tum your hard work into electricity. Assuming that the generator is 50% efficient, how much power (in W) are you producing while you are pedaling? If all your dinner is converted to electricity via the bike, calculate the $kWh of your dinner as a power source. d. What is the overall efficiency of the original energy content of the food compared to the final electricity generated? How efficient are you at converting chemical energy into mechanical energy? (Note: assume a simple organic fat or sugar for the energy content of food). c. You go out to eat for lunch/dinner.
