A sedentary person requires about 6 million J of energy per day. This rate of energy consumption is equivalent to about how many W?
70W
6000000/（60*60*24）=69.99999=70W/s
70
(6×10⁶)/(60×60×24)
250,000w
A sedentary person requires about 6 million J of energy per day. This rate of energy consumption is equivalent to how many watts?
Oh, let me calculate that for you. *puts on thinking cap*
Okay, so if a sedentary person requires 6 million joules of energy per day, we can convert that to watts. *calculating noises*
Drumroll, please...
The rate of energy consumption is approximately 70 watts.
So, it seems like even though they're not moving around much, they still require a little bit of power!
To determine the rate of energy consumption in watts (W), we need to convert the energy consumption from joules (J) to watts.
Energy is measured in joules, and power (rate of energy consumption) is measured in watts.
The formula to convert joules to watts is:
Power (W) = Energy (J) / Time (s)
However, we need to know the time over which the energy is consumed. The question does not provide us with this information.
If we assume that the energy consumption rate is spread over 24 hours (86,400 seconds), we can calculate the power consumption in watts.
Power (W) = 6,000,000 J / 86,400 s
Calculating this, we get:
Power (W) ≈ 69.44 W
Therefore, a sedentary person with an energy consumption rate of 6 million J per day would require approximately 69.44 watts of power.
