Question

The units are wrong. Plus mastering physics won't accept "Cal/Day". Help!!!!

Larger animals use proportionately less energy than smaller animals; that is, it takes less energy per kg to power an elephant than to power a human. A 5000 kg African elephant requires about 70,000 Cal for basic needs for one day. If a 68 kg human required the same energy per kg of body mass as an elephant, how much energy would be required each day? Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.

Explanation / Answer

Energy required=(70000/5000)68

=14x68

=952 cal
