ajoules

bkilojoules

Short Answer

Expert verified

Part a

aThe converting energy in joules at 750kcal=3.14×106J.

Part b

bThe converting energy into kilojoules at 750kcal=3.14×103kJ.

Step by step solution

01

Step: 1 Given information: (Part a)

A person uses for a long walk given are:750kcal.

To calculate the amount of energy expended on a walk is converting into joules.

02

Step: 2 Converting into joules: (Part a)

Use the appropriate conversion factor to convert energy into joules.

1kcal=1000cal

1kcal=4184joule

The factor will be as,

4184joule1kcal

Changing into joules will be as,

750kcal×4184J1kcal=3.14×106J

As a result,750kcal=3.14×106J.

03

Step: 3 Given information: (Part b)

A person uses for a long walk given are:750kcal.

To calculate the amount of energy expended on a walk is converting into kilojoules.

04

Step: 4 Converting into kilojoules: (Part b)  

Use the appropriate conversion factor to convert energy into kilojoules.

1kcal=1000cal

1kcal=4184joule

Changing into kilojoules will be as,

750kcal×4184J1kcal×1kJ103J=3.14×103kJ

As a result,750kcal==3.14×103kJ.
