Because the metabolism slows down as one gets older, so older people generally don't need as many calories.

A 2 g bullet hits and becomes embedded in a 5 kg wood block hanging from a 1.40 m long string causes the block to swing through an arc of 4.50 What was the speed of the bullet before hitting the block?

Apply conservation of energy. When the block is at one extreme, the kinetic energy is equivalent to 0, while potential energy is available. Assuming no loss of energy (through noise and heat), the potential energy should be equal to the kinetic energy of the bullet before collision. Apply conservation of energy.

In archery when a bow is released what forms of energy are involved?

once it is fully drawn back it is potential energy, when it is released it becomes kenetic. i believe it is also potential while it is in the motion of being drawn back, as should it be let go at at any stage of drawing, it would become kenetic.


Should an energy saving lamps be Energy Star labeled one for better energy saving even though they are already an energy saving lamps?

ENERGY STAR is the trusted, government-backed symbol for energy efficiency helping us all save money and protect the environment through energy-efficient products and practices. Reduce greenhouse gas emissions and other pollutants caused by the inefficient use of energy; and make it easy for consumers to identify and purchase energy-efficient products that offer savings on energy bills without sacrificing performance, features, and comfort. Products can earn the ENERGY STAR label by meeting the following requirements: • Product categories must contribute significant energy savings nationwide. • Qualified products must deliver the features and performance demanded by consumers, in addition to increased energy efficiency. • If the qualified product costs more than a conventional, less-efficient counterpart, purchasers will recover their investment in increased energy efficiency through utility bill savings, within a reasonable period. • Energy efficiency can be achieved through broadly available, non-proprietary technologies offered by more than one manufacturer. • Product energy consumption and performance can be measured and verified with testing. • Labeling would effectively differentiate products and be visible for purchasers


What does an energy pyramid show us about energy in a food chain?

The difference is that a food chain is one path of energy, and a food web is overlapping food chains. As for an energy pyramid it show that there is less and less food and energy available as you go from the base to the top of the pyramid
