A calorimeter
Pasta contains 120 calories per 75g serving Challenge your brain! Raising a 100g mass in the air for 1 minute (this uses one joule (J) of energy) 1 J = O.2 calories How much pasta can I eat if I work out at the gym lifting 100g weights for 25 minutes? Pasta contains 120 calories per 75g serving
Challenge your brain! Raising a 100g mass in the air for 1 minute uses about one joule (J) of energy 1 J = O.2 calories How much pasta can I eat if I work out at the gym lifting 100g weights for 25 minutes? Pasta contains 120 calories per 75g serving 25 minutes = 25 Joules 25X0.2 = 5 calories 120/75 = 1.6 calories per gram 5/1.6 = 3.125grams of pasta!
