Abstract

The article explores the metabolism of dinosaurs, particularly when running at maximum speed, by connecting their metabolism with kinetic energy. The methodology developed allows students to determine the maximum metabolism of dinosaurs, such as the Velociraptor, running at their fastest. The study provides insights into the lives of dinosaurs and engages students in understanding the complex relationship between metabolism, body mass, and locomotion speed. The research highlights the importance of considering the metabolic rates of animals when studying their locomotion and energy expenditure. [Extracted from the article]
