Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

The frontal lobe is the part of the brain that controls personality, decision-making and reasoning. It is a part of the cerebral cortex and the largest in composition.

Phineas Gage was involved in an accident in which a metal rod destroyed parts of his brain. This incident however brought about a drastic change in his behavior.

This incident helped to establish the relationship between the frontal lobe and behavioral patterns.

What percent of one’s daily caloric intake should come from carbohydrates?
NISA [10]
This answer will vary a lot, depending on who you will ask. If you're asking proponents of the LCHF (low carbs, high fat) diet, they would say you should reduce your intake of carbohydrates down to around 10 to 20 percent, making either A or C your desired answer.

If you would ask people who propose the current nutritional guidelines as the best way of eating, the amount of caloric intake that should come from carbs according to them would be more in the range of around 40%, making B the correct answer.

There isn't really any clear cut answer here.

gravitational potential energy = m * g * h

m stands for mass. Mass doesn't change in physics

g stands for gravitational acceleration. It is a constant.

h stands for height. When the skater moves up and down the track the height from the ground changes. Therefore this variable does change.
