Muscles require more energy even when they are not very active because they need a baseline level of energy to maintain their structure and function, such as maintaining muscle tone and readiness to contract when needed. This baseline energy consumption is known as the basal metabolic rate of muscles.

What is the difference between potential and active energy?

Potential energy is energy that has the potential to be active. For example, when you pick up a pen, that is gravitational potenial energy, becasue it has the potetial to be dropped, in grvaity. Active energy would be when the pen is droppped and it is moving, it is active. It has a source of energy. Active energy is energy that is moving and working.


What two factors determine the potential energy an object?

The two factors are the energy-moment,'L' and the distance form origin. The energy-moment for masses is mGM and the potential energy = - mGM/r. For photons the energy moment is hc and the potential energy = -hc/r. For electric charges the energy moment is e2zc and the potential energy = -e2zc/2r = -ahc/r where a is the fine structure constant. Notice the e2/2 indicates that e is an rms charge or effective charge.


Why Energy created by moment or motion?

Energy is created by moment or motion due to the principle of conservation of energy. When an object moves or changes position, energy is transferred or transformed from one form to another. This can result in the creation of kinetic energy, potential energy, or other forms of energy as the object interacts with its environment.


What is rotational energy?

Rotational energy is the energy an object possesses due to its rotation around an axis. It is dependent on the object's moment of inertia and angular velocity, and it can be calculated using the formula 0.5 * I * ω^2, where I is the moment of inertia and ω is the angular velocity.


How would a spinning disk and kinetic energy change if its moment of inertia were five times larger but its angular speed were five times smaller?

If the moment of inertia is five times larger while the angular speed is five times smaller, then the kinetic energy of the spinning disk would decrease. This is because kinetic energy is directly proportional to both the moment of inertia and the square of the angular speed. The decrease in angular speed would have a greater impact on reducing the kinetic energy compared to the increase in moment of inertia.

Why do our mussels burn when we exercise?

Muscle burning during exercise is primarily due to the accumulation of lactic acid, a byproduct of anaerobic metabolism when the body uses energy without enough oxygen. As you exert yourself, your muscles require more energy, and when oxygen levels are insufficient, lactic acid builds up, leading to that burning sensation. Additionally, the depletion of ATP (adenosine triphosphate) and the release of hydrogen ions can contribute to fatigue and discomfort in the muscles. This sensation typically indicates that your muscles are working hard and may need a moment to recover.


When was The Moment's Energy created?

The Moment's Energy was created in 2009.


Why Br2 microwave active?

I don't think it is. Microwave energy levels correspond to rotational modes, and for rotational spectroscopy, a molecule has to have a dipole moment... homonuclear diatomics like Br2 don't, and thus do not exhibit a pure rotational spectrum.

Is mout Vesuvuis active?

Yes but dormant at the moment.


What is the energy of moment?

A moving object has both moment, and kinetic energy. You can't calculate one from the other; it is possible for two objects to have the same moment, and different amounts of kinetic energy. This is because the moment is proportional to the velocity, while kinetic energy is proportional to the square of the speed.


If 100J of energy are required to draw a bow what is the kinetic energy of the arrow at the moment of release?

At the moment of release, all the energy stored in the bow (100J) is converted to the kinetic energy of the arrow. So, the kinetic energy of the arrow at that moment is 100J.

How many active volcanoes are found?

The Smithsonian Volcanism Project is the best way I've seen to tell which are active and which are not, it says there are 1,581 active at this moment.
