Spotlight search helps in finding it much faster. You have to press on Space+CMD, then type the name of the app and click on Return. Right click on the icon of the app and then choose Options. From there click in Keep in Dock. Choose View and then Click on the dock icon, select History or show CPU usage.
Certain basic features of Activity Monitor
The Process Monitor is the main window of the app. Both system processes and open apps are displayed here. Although certain apps are easy to spot, others have system level processes. They are important for running the OS of Mac. After clicking on the Column Header, one needs to arrange the processes in either ascending or descending order. If you wish to search for specific processes, you can use the Search Filter. Activity monitor usually shows the processes that are running for the logged in user. Click on View and then click on All Processes to change this.

• The processes like the MD and the mdworker processes highlights the CPU spikes which is a really common scenario when the Mac is formatted recently.
• A large amount of CPU is used by the Kernel task processes. The CPU access is also limited by managing the temperature of Mac.
