9 Examples of Energy In Joules
10
10 Learning Check How many calories are obtained from a pat of butter if it provides 150 J of energy when metabolized?
11
11 Solution How many calories are obtained is a pat of butter if it provides 150 J of energy when metabolized? Given: 150 J Need: calories Plan: J cal Equality: 1 cal = 4.184 J Set Up:150 J x 1 cal = 36 cal 4.184 J
