Answer:

510448 Joules

102089.6 J

13.61194 min

Explanation:

[tex]1\ kcal=4184\ J[/tex]

[tex]122\ cal=122\times 4184=510448\ J[/tex]

The energy in Joules is 510448 Joules.

20% of energy

[tex]0.2\times 510448=102089.6\ J[/tex]

The energy is 102089.6 J

Power is given by

[tex]P=\dfrac{E}{t}\\\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{E}{P}\\\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{102089.6}{125}\\\Rightarrow t=816.7168\ s=\dfrac{816.7168}{60}=13.61194\ min[/tex]

The number of minutes is 13.61194 min

An average person consumes around 2000-2500 kcal

[tex]0.2\times 122=24.4\ kcal[/tex]

This is done in 13.61194 min

In one hour

[tex]\dfrac{24}{13}\times 60=110.76923\ kcal[/tex]

So, it is easy to consume the calories.
