How do i find initial and final kinetic energy and gravitational energy on this problem?
A 2.5 g penny dropped from the observation deck at Philadelphia city hall (490 ft high) hits the ground at 21 m/s.
a.) find pennys initial and final kinteic energy
b.) find pennys initial and final gravitational potential energy
c.) find internal energy gained due to air resistance on this falling penny.
so confused, any help would be sooo appreciated 
a.) If you think about it, initially the penny is not moving at all, right? So the initial kinetic energy would be 0. The final kinetic energy would be determined using (1/2)mv^2, which you can find given your data above. Just convert the 2.5g to kg, so:
(1/2)(0.0025)(21^2) = your answer.
b.) At the penny has a lot of potential energy, because it’s got a long way to fall. Potential energy is found using (m)(g)(h). g is gravity, which is 9.8. Your mass and height are given in your equation (don’t forget to convert the 490 ft to meters!). Your final potential energy is when the penny hits the ground and has nowhere further to go–so, the final potential energy would be 0.
(As a check, remember that energy is always conserved, so kinetic energy always equals potential energy!)
I’m not sure about c), but maybe by doing a) and b) it will help jog your memory about what to do for that one. Good luck, and I hope this made sense!!!

Insulin is the hormone responsible for the control of blood sugar (glucose) and is manufactured by the pancreas. People who have type 1 diabetes produce very little (or even none) of this hormone. As a result, they must take regular injections of insulin in order to function normally.
Type 2 diabetes on the other hand is where the body produces insulin normally but the insulin doesn’t work in the body as it should so greater amounts of insulin are required. The body is said to be ‘resistant’ to insulin.
This article explains how insulin resistance (IR) is characterised by an inability of the body cells to bind insulin and allow nutrients to flow into the cells.
As a result, elevated levels of glucose remain in the bloodstream, leading to many serious health issues. Over time, it may result in blindness, peripheral neuropathy (damaged blood vessels and nerves in fingers and toes that may require amputation) and coronary heart disease to name a few.
IR is a symptom of several diseases including type 2 diabetes, poly-cystic ovarian syndrome and obesity. It also appears to occur in people who use certain medications like antidepressants.
Why insulin is produced
When you consume a food containing carbohydrate, your blood sugar (blood glucose) increases. Depending on the amount eaten, the type of carbohydrate eaten and what has been eaten with it, insulin will be secreted from the pancreas. Insulin then binds with receptors on cell membranes and allows glucose (and other nutrients) to flow into the cells.
Over many years, the insulin receptors get bombarded with insulin and become de-sensitised to it’s action. This is the same mechanism by which a regular coffee drinker becomes de-sensitised to caffeine and requires greater amounts to get the same ‘hit’. Someone with insulin resistance requires more and more insulin to drive the nutrients into the cells.
It is interesting to note that in the past, type 2 diabetes was also called adult-onset diabetes because it took many years for the cells to become de-sensitised to insulin. Unfortunately though, IR and type 2 diabetes are now becoming prevalent in children so the term adult-onset is no longer used.
The causes of Insulin Resistance:
High intake of high-density or refined carbohydrates.
Concentrated sources of carbohydrates like sugars, bread, pasta, cereals, rice, pastries, etc. all cause a dramatic rise in blood sugar leading to insulin secretion and over time, IR.
High intakes of saturated and trans-fatty acids.
All of your body cells have membranes made of phospholipids, part of which comes from the fats we consume. A high intake of saturated and trans-fatty acids results in the cell membranes becoming less permeable, which makes the passage of nutrients across the cell membrane more difficult.
Nutrient deficiencies.
The body has a requirement for a whole range of nutrients: minerals, vitamins, amino acids and fatty acids. These nutrients have numerous functions in the body. Several minerals are involved in the transport of nutrients across cell membranes. These include: chromium, selenium and vanadium. A deficiency of any of these minerals impairs this function, resulting in IR.
Lack of exercise.
Any type of exercise involves muscular contraction, which means fuel is required by the muscle cells of the body. Furthermore, the transport of fuel into the cells means that the permeability of the cell membranes must improve for this to occur. A lack of exercise results in cell permeability staying the same or, over time, decreasing. This leads to IR.
Preventing insulin resistance:
Overcoming IR requires incorporating lifestyle habits that are the exact opposite of the causes. This means following a diet that is low in high-density and refined carbohydrates and high in natural (low-to-medium density) carbohydrates.
Replacing your existing fat/ oil intake with unsaturated (‘healthy’) fats can make your cell membranes more permeable, which means nutrients can flow into the cells easier and wastes can flow out of the cells easier. Good sources of ‘healthy’ fats include: olive oil, fish oil, flax seed oil, avocadoes, nuts and seeds.
Selecting foods that are high in the minerals (chromium, selenium and vanadium) involved in nutrient transport through cell membranes is beneficial. These include foods like oysters, whole-grain cereals, fish and shellfish, raw onion, potatoes, egg yolk, beef, broccoli, nuts/ seeds, parsley and garlic.
Supplementing your diet with the previously mentioned minerals can also be beneficial in improving insulin sensitivity. There are also other nutrients that nutritional science has discovered that can dramatically improve insulin sensitivity.
These include: alpha lipoic acid (ALA), 4-hydroxyisoleucine (an extract from fenugreek seed), corosolic acid (from Banaba Leaf), Gymnema Sylvestre and extracts from cinnamon. [NOTE: Chromium, ALA, Gymnema Sylvestre and 4-hydroxyisoleucine are found in GI Factor ]
Finally, incorporating exercise into your lifestyle can reverse IR by increasing cell permeability. Find the type or types of exercise you enjoy doing and can see yourself doing long term. Make a commitment to perform it on a regular basis and get moving!
Most disease common in civilised societies are reversible through lifestyle choices. You are now at a cross-road with two possible paths to follow. One path will lead you to a life of fun, energy, passion and health. The other to a rapid physical decline, lethargy, reduced quality of life and an early death… The choice is yours.
