How does momentum and impulse affect roller coasters?

Biology

In simple terms, momentum is the measure of mass in motion, ie. how much amount of mass is in how much motion. Impulse on the other hand is the overall effect of a force acting over time. Impulse is equivalent to a change of momentum. Because of this relation, there is a direct connection between a force that acts on an object over time and the motion itself. So, a roller coaster moving at a high speed has a lot of momentum.
Since momentum is velocity * mass, the velocity needed at the bottom of the roller coaster to make it all the way up to the top of the loop is independent of the mass.
Thus, the more the momentum on the roller coaster, the harder it is to stop it or change its direction.

What is the correct sentence?
lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer: The correct sequence in the expression of a trait is gene > protein > trait (Option B).

Explanation:

During gene transcription, a linear fragment of DNA referred to as a 'gene' is used as template to synthesize a complementary messenger RNA (mRNA) sequence.

Subsequently, this mRNA is then used as template to create a protein by a process called translation.

Moreover, phenotypic traits can be defined as all observable characteristics that an organism has.

The phenotypic traits are largely determined by the expression of either enzymatic or structural proteins, which interact to shape the phenotype of an organism.

In conclusion, the correct sequence in the expression of a trait is gene > protein > trait (Option B).

The green data point at June 2011 shows a proportional change of about________ , which means that the native fish population____
Orlov [11]

Answer: The appropriate information that will be used to fill the blanks includes the following respectively:

-1.7

- increased

-70%

- 0.5

- decreased

- 50%

Explanation:

The green (topmost) data point at June 2011 shows a proportional change of about 1.7, which means that the native fish population INCREASED by about 70 percent when 95 percent of the lionfish were removed. In contrast, the orange data point at June 2011 shows a proportional change of about 0.5, which means that the native fish population DECREASED by about 50 percent when only a quarter of the lionfish were removed (a result that was almost the same as when none of the lionfish were removed).

The native fishes are being haunted by the lion fish, from the results, removing just few of the invasive lion fish will not make a difference. In other to help the native fish survive, many of the lion fish has to be removed.
