you exert more energy going uphill because your muscles strain a bit more but it really depends on the angle

What is occurring at the two temperatures on the heat curve where the graph is a flat line?
When increasing , the water is increasing in kinetic energy. When it is flat, the added energy is used to overcome the bonds between the particles. Hope This Helps.,! :-)
What is the purpose of broad flat green surfaces'?
because they need energy i think its what i learned
Is a cube aerodynamic?
No, a cube is not aerodynamic. A cube has a flat face, so it will produce more drag. It will also take more energy to push forward because the flat face of the cube is trying to push the wind as you are pushing the cube.
How far do you walk in a half hour at medium pace?
FYI I asked this question but I want to add that the half hour walk is on flat terrain, asphalt actually and I am 5'5" and 250 lbs (which is why I've been walking, usually longer but I'll take any walking I can get) if that factors in at all. Thanks for any help!

Can walking uphill but slowly burn as many calories as walking quikly down a hill?
Walking on level ground is moving balance weight. This requires far less energy than walking uphill or downhill. Walking uphill burns almost twice as many calories as walking in flat land. Walking downhill burns more than walking on flat land simple because you are transferring weight down and in doing so you move your total weight down on one leg at a time. Walking downhill uses about half the extra energy walking uphill compared to walking on flat land. If your knees will permit you to walk up and downhill, you will not only burn more calories, but the muscles in your legs will strength and you will have far less body fat on your legs. I have a pretty steep hill I walk daily. It is the main factor for me being able to control my weight. Invest thirty days and experiment with this. You will be pleasantly surprised and will be able to control your weight in the future. I wish there was a way for people desiring to lose weight to find out about it. There is more of a chance for a knee injury. Be careful.
Why does it require more energy to walk uphill than to walk on a flat surface?
This can be explained in different ways: # You are increasing your potential energy. # You are doing work against the force of gravity.
What does it mean to dream driving on steep hills?
Much of the meaning of this dream lies in the emotions you experience while the dream is taking place. The hill represents some difficulty that you are facing in real life. Compare the dream image with the expression "it's an uphill climb." Walking uphill usually takes more energy and is more tiring than walking on a flat surface or walking downhill.

How many calories are burned when you walk your dog?
depends on how far you walk, are you going uphill, downhill or is it flat? if you walk on a flat area then you will not burn as much as the other two, uphill you will burn the most. all in all you will not burn a lot of calories unless you walk a pretty good distance and even a couple miles of flat land will only burn around 70 calories. a couple miles uphill could burn over 150.

What is true about hiking?

Any car that has to go uphill requires more effort than on a flat surface or downhill. Mainly because uphill is steeper (in an up direction) which also pushes against gravity.
What do the rear sprockets do?
