Smaller mammals use proportionately more energy than larger mammals; that is, it takes more energy per gram to power a mouse than a human. A typical mouse has a mass of 20 g and, at rest, needs to consume 3.0 Cal each day for basic body processes.
If a 68 kg human used the same energy per kg of body mass as a mouse, how much energy would be needed each day? Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units
What resting power does this correspond to? Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.
