Question
Each time the heart beats, it requires 5 J of energy. If it beats 72 times in one minute then the power consumed by the heart is 360 W.
Options:
A .  True
B .  False
C .  Heat - Kinetic - Chemical
D .  Kinetic - Chemical- Heat
Answer: Option B
:
B
We know that power is the energy consumed per unit time.
PowerConsumed=EnergyConsumedTime
The heart beats 72 times in one minute i.e. 60 seconds.
Energy consumed in one heart beat = 5 J
Energy consumed in 72heart beats = 5 ×72 J
On substituting all these values, we get
PowerConsumed=5×7260=6W
The power consumed by the heart is6W.
