In terms of saving energy, bicycling and walking are far more efficient means of transportation than is travel by automobile. for example, when riding at 14.5 mi/h, a cyclist uses food energy at a rate of about 400 kcal/h above what he would use if he were merely sitting still. (in exercise physiology, power is often measured in kcal/h rather than in watts. here, 1 kcal = 1 nutritionist's calorie = 4,186 j.) walking at 2.89 mi/h requires about 220 kcal/h. it is interesting to compare these values with the energy consumption required for travel by car. gasoline yields about 1.30 ✕ 108 j/gal. find the fuel economy in equivalent miles per gallon for a person bicycling.

Three different objects, all with different masses, are initially at rest at the bottom of a set of steps. each step is of uniform height . the mass of each object is a multiple of the base mass : object 1 has mass 4..00m , object 2 has mass 1..96m , and object 3 has mass . when the objects are at the bottom of the steps, define the total gravitational potential energy of the three-object system to be zero. if the objects are then relocated as shown, what is the new total potential energy of the system? each answer requires the numerical coefficient to an algebraic expression. each algebraic expression is given using some combination of the variables , , and , where is the acceleration due to gravity. enter only the numerical coefficient. (example: if the answer is 1..23mgd , just enter 1.23)
