When a worker shovels coal into the furnace of a train engine, energy is released from the coal as heat. The heat is used to make steam, which is then used to turn the wheels of the engine. Living cells can also be thought of as machines. What biological process uses combustion to release energy from molecules so that cells can do work?
What is Metabolism

You and a friend are jumping on a trampoline. Why does Earth, which is rapidly orbiting around the sun, not move under your feet when you jump?
What is Newton’s first law holds that your body moves along with Earth because it is not compelled to change its motion by an unbalanced force.

A popular toy consists of an aligned row of identical elastic balls suspended by strings so they touch each other. When two balls on one end are elevated and released, they slam into the array of balls and two balls pop out the other side. If instead, one ball popped out with twice the speed, this would be a violation of the conservation of....
