What country did tai chi come from?
There are two halves to this question.
Originally Tai Chi was a secret kept by the Chen Village that Yang Lu Tang convinced them to teach him, which he in turn spread throughout China due to him being a near invincible martial artist that inspired awe in each person who crossed paths with him. Yang Lu Tang's students created multiple Tai Chi lineages that spread throughout China and became widely popularized throughout China, initially as a martial art and later as a healing method.
A more detailed version of this can be found here:
The second part is explained in the opening to the book "Opening the Energy Gates of Your Body" by Tai Chi Master Bruce Frantzis (while the first one came from the appendix in "Power of the Internal Martial Arts and Chi").
In modern times, Tai Chi gained immense popularity because the Chinese government had a massive need for a economical health care system for their gigantic population and they made Tai Chi a core component (since proper daily Tai Chi practice will cure most health ailments, it was stipulated that 3 months of daily practice was required before an individual was given access to medical care).

How fast should a 15 year old do a 5 km run on average?
This answer has a lot to do with personal abilities. Many people can run 1 mile quickly and that's all while other can run 3 miles at a moderate pace.
An average 15 year old boy should be able to run 1 mile in 6-9 minutes
So, to run a 5k (3.1miles) you are looking around 18-27 minutes. The 18 minutes will be if your are in relatively good fitness, run competitively and have been training.
It's not bad to be near 27 minutes. This is a good show that you have the ability to train as an endurance athlete if you are willing to practice- it is just not a competitive time if you are racing.

Trampolines without nets aren't very safe because you could fall off easily and they aren't very big around, but trampolines with nets are very safe, and the net will make the trampoline look bigger, and you can keep people out that you don't want (mwa ha ha ha)! But my cousin broke his foot on one. He jumped onto the spring accidently and his foot went right through it and broke.
People often percieve trampolines as unsafe due to companies selling low specification trampolines at cheap prices, if you buy a trampoline with a safety net, thick pads and a high number of trampoline springs you're assured that it is safe.

How many calories did you burn if you are 100 pounds and you were riding your bike for 45 mintues?
This depends on the intensity and type of exercise as well as the level of difficulty. For example 10 minutes on a treadmill might use 250 calories for one person while another would only burn 140 because they where incapable of using a more difficult setting. Also 10 minutes on a cross trainer may burn 200 Calories as it uses different muscles.
It is therefore impossible to give a answer to the above question as the number of calories burnt depends on more than just length of exercise.
Why does pulse rate increase during aerobic exercise?
Your heart has to beat faster to circulate your blood which carries oxygen to cells. During exercise your cells need more oxygen (the ones being used at least) so your heart must provide them with more oxygen, hence the faster heart rate.
In aerobic training what are four categories of work?
running, biking, swimming, working out.

How can an 11 year old get ripped without weights?
You will absolutely not gain muscle if you don't use them. You also won't gain muscle if you don't eat more calories than you burn. It's correct that you don't need to go to the gym or even use weights to add weight, but it's the best way. There are activities that will add mass, like swimming, but you still need to do it enough and do it the right way. Ultimately, you just need to be challenging and overloading your muscles somehow so they adapt and grow.

Should PE lessons be mandatory in public schools?
Yes. Obesity is a growing epidemic in the United States and it is said that 70/80% of Americans are not reaching basic activity level recommendations. As time goes by, technology increases and children are persuaded by different marketing techniques to play with electronics. Before the Xbox 360 and PSP, children would get entertainment from playing games and partaking in sports and other physical activities. Times are changing; however, and the dependency on electronics for entertainment is steadily increasing, which is causing physical activity level to decrease. By forcing children to take a physical education class, we are forcing children to learn healthy life skills, which is something beneficial to everyone. Exercising for a minimum of thirty minutes a day can do wonders for a child. Exercising helps release built up energy and it also releases endorphins, which are said to make people feel better and happier. Exercise also promotes better general health for all the body systems, especially the heart. Heart disease it the number one killer in America so anything schools can do to help promote healthy hearts and lifestyles is going to be beneficial to students. I think requiring students to take a Physical Education class every year should be mandatory unless the student is involved in some other sport or after-school physical activity or if the student is physically disabled. As obesity continues to be a problem in the country, we need to work together to teach children healthy habits as early as possible. By requiring physical activity in schools starting at the elementary level and continuing through high school, schools will be promoting healthy lifestyle habits that will hopefully be long-term and continue into adulthood.
How many calories are burned swimming the freestyle for 15 minutes?
There is no metabolic equation for swimmers because every swimmer swims at a different efficiency.
The easiest way to do it would be to check your heart rate somewhere towards the end of your 15 minutes. Do a 15-30 second count because your HR drops QUICK after exercise. (Subtract about 12 beats per minute from your heart rate (BPM) because your heart doesnt have to work so hard to return blood when under water and it will mess up the calculation if you dont compensate for this).
HR is nearly linear to the amount of oxygen you consume (VO2) so find a reference chart of VO2 vs Heart Rate online and see what your VO2 is at the exercise heart rate, which will be in the units "ml of O2/kg of body weight/min". From that, calculate how many Liters of Oxygen you consumed during the 15 minute swim using your body weight and minutes swimming. Once your have calculated the Liters of Oxygen you consumed you know how many calories you burned because 1 liter of oxygen = 5 calories burned.
If you know how to do math, its all right there :) The hardest part is finding the VO2 vs HR chart.
Cardiovascular exercises such as running, cycling, swimming, or rowing are excellent exercises to help you lose weight. A 160 pound person who runs for 30 minutes burns about 300 calories. If you burn 300 calories a day doing cardio exercises, that equates to almost a half-pound of weight loss per week.
