A 55.0-kg woman cheats on her diet and eats a 540 Calorie (540 kcal) jelly doughnut for breakfast.
a) How many joules of energy is the equivalent of one jelly doughnut?
b) How many steps must the woman climb on a very tall stairway to change the gravitational potential energy of the woman–Earth system by a value equivalent to the food energy in one jelly doughnut? Assume the height of a single stair is 15.0 cm.
c) If the human body is only 25.0% efficient in converting chemical potential energy to mechanical energy, how many steps must the woman climb to work off her breakfast?
