Question 190

Multiple Choice

Solve the problem.
-The energy cost of a speed burst as a function of the body weight of a dolphin is given by E=43.5w0.61\mathrm{E}=43.5 \mathrm{w}^{-0.61} , where w\mathrm{w} is the weight of the dolphin (in kg\mathrm{kg} ) and E\mathrm{E} is the energy expenditure (in kcal/kg/km\mathrm{kcal} / \mathrm{kg} / \mathrm{km} ) . Suppose that the weight of a 400kg400-\mathrm{kg} dolphin is increasing at a rate of 8 kg/day8 \mathrm{~kg} / \mathrm{day} . Find the rate at which the energy expenditure is changing with respect to time.


A) 0.0137kcal/kg/km/-0.0137 \mathrm{kcal} / \mathrm{kg} / \mathrm{km} / day
B) 0.0017kcal/kg/km/-0.0017 \mathrm{kcal} / \mathrm{kg} / \mathrm{km} / day
C) 5.491kcal/kg/km/-5.491 \mathrm{kcal} / \mathrm{kg} / \mathrm{km} / day
D) 20.5166kcal/kg/km/-20.5166 \mathrm{kcal} / \mathrm{kg} / \mathrm{km} / day
