"State in which energy intake, in the form of food and/or alcohol, matches the energy expended, primarily through basal metabolism and physical activity".

What is energy balanced?

Energy balance can be described by this equation : Energy intake = internal heat produced + external work + energy stored.

Work is basically a type of energy. Power is equal to energy / time; therefore, energy (or work) = power x time.

What is the rate of water flow through a 100mm diameter pipe with 300mm head pressure?

300mm is a very low head, you can't expect much flow through that pipe, but you can work it out from the mechanical energy balance equation.


What is the purpose of th gibbs free energy equation you don't need to know the equation itself?

The purpose is to determine the available energy. Some of the energy in any system is useless - can't be converted into useful work.


How does movement use energy?

Movement itself does not use energy. However if there is friction then energy will be lost according to the equation, Work = Force x Distance. Also, there is energy associated with movement according to the equation, Ek=½mass x (velocity)²


Why must a chemical equations be balanced?

Matter is conserved in a chemical reaction, meaning nothing "disappears" when compounds react. Accordingly, the number of atoms you start with has to be the number of atoms you end with. Similarly, no element can become another element, so there must be the same number of each kind of atom at the start and at the end. If you don't balance the equation, you cannot use it to calculate yield. When you balance the equation, you are applying the law of 'Conservation of Mass' or as some like to include 'Conservation of Mass and Energy'.
