An adult eats food whose nutritional energy totals
approximately2.2*103 Cal per day. The adult
burns2.0*103 Cal per day. How much excess
nutritionalenergy, in kilojoules, does the adult consume per day?
If 1lb of fat is stored by the body for each
14.6*103kilojoules of excess nutritional energy
consumed, how long will ittake this person to gain 1 lb.

Respuesta :

Answer:

0.8368 kiloJoules of an excess nutritional energy is consumed by an adult in a day.

It will take 17,447.41 days long to gain 1 lb of fat by this person.

Explanation:

Calorie intake of an adult in a day =[tex]2.2\times 10^3 calorie[/tex]

Calorie burnt by an adult in a day = [tex]2.0\times 10^3 calorie[/tex]

Excess  nutritional energy in day=

[tex](2.2\times 10^3 calorie)-(2.0\times 10^3 calorie)[/tex]

[tex]=2.0\times 10^2 calorie[/tex]

1 kcal = 4.184 kJ

So , 1000 cal = 4.184 kJ

[tex]1 cal = 4.184\times 10^{-3} kJ[/tex]

[tex]2.0\times 10^2 calorie=2.0\times 10^2\times 4.184\times 10^{-3} kJ[/tex]

[tex]=0.8368 kJ[/tex]

0.8368 kiloJoules of an excess nutritional energy is consumed by an adult in a day.

[tex]14.6\times 10^3[/tex] kilo joules of excess nutritional energy = 1 lb fat

The 1 kilo joule of excess nutritional energy  = [tex]\frac{1}{14.6\times 10^3}[/tex] lb fat

Excessive nutritional energy of an adult per day = 0.8368 kiloJoules

Amount of fat gained by an adult per day =

= [tex]0.8368 kiloJoules\times \frac{1}{14.6\times 10^3}=5.7315\times 10^{-5} lb[/tex] of fat

In 1 day an adult gains = [tex]5.7315\times 10^{-5} lb[/tex] of fat

Time taken to gain 1 lb fat:

[tex]\frac{1}{5.7315\times 10^{-5}} day=17,447.41 days[/tex]

It will take 17,447.41 days long to gain 1 lb of fat by this person.
