Momentum is a measure of how difficult it is to stop a moving object. It is defined by the equation momentum (p) equals mass (m) times velocity (v). In a closed system where no external forces act, the total momentum before an event like a collision will equal the total momentum after the event, according to the principle of conservation of momentum.

Extrachromosomal Inheritance
Slide 2: Introduction to Extrachromosomal Inheritance
Definition: Extrachromosomal inheritance refers to the transmission of genetic material that is not found within the nucleus.
Key Components: Involves genes located in mitochondria, chloroplasts, and plasmids.
Slide 3: Mitochondrial Inheritance
Mitochondria: Organelles responsible for energy production.
Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA): Circular DNA molecule found in mitochondria.
Inheritance Pattern: Maternally inherited, meaning it is passed from mothers to all their offspring.
Diseases: Examples include Leber’s hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON) and mitochondrial myopathy.
Slide 4: Chloroplast Inheritance
Chloroplasts: Organelles responsible for photosynthesis in plants.
Chloroplast DNA (cpDNA): Circular DNA molecule found in chloroplasts.
Inheritance Pattern: Often maternally inherited in most plants, but can vary in some species.
Examples: Variegation in plants, where leaf color patterns are determined by chloroplast DNA.
Slide 5: Plasmid Inheritance
Plasmids: Small, circular DNA molecules found in bacteria and some eukaryotes.
Features: Can carry antibiotic resistance genes and can be transferred between cells through processes like conjugation.
Significance: Important in biotechnology for gene cloning and genetic engineering.
Slide 6: Mechanisms of Extrachromosomal Inheritance
Non-Mendelian Patterns: Do not follow Mendel’s laws of inheritance.
Cytoplasmic Segregation: During cell division, organelles like mitochondria and chloroplasts are randomly distributed to daughter cells.
Heteroplasmy: Presence of more than one type of organellar genome within a cell, leading to variation in expression.
Slide 7: Examples of Extrachromosomal Inheritance
Four O’clock Plant (Mirabilis jalapa): Shows variegated leaves due to different cpDNA in leaf cells.
Petite Mutants in Yeast: Result from mutations in mitochondrial DNA affecting respiration.

Earliest Galaxies in the JADES Origins Field: Luminosity Function and Cosmic ...Sérgio Sacani
We characterize the earliest galaxy population in the JADES Origins Field (JOF), the deepest
imaging field observed with JWST. We make use of the ancillary Hubble optical images (5 filters
spanning 0.4−0.9µm) and novel JWST images with 14 filters spanning 0.8−5µm, including 7 mediumband filters, and reaching total exposure times of up to 46 hours per filter. We combine all our data
at > 2.3µm to construct an ultradeep image, reaching as deep as ≈ 31.4 AB mag in the stack and
30.3-31.0 AB mag (5σ, r = 0.1” circular aperture) in individual filters. We measure photometric
redshifts and use robust selection criteria to identify a sample of eight galaxy candidates at redshifts
z = 11.5 − 15. These objects show compact half-light radii of R1/2 ∼ 50 − 200pc, stellar masses of
M⋆ ∼ 107−108M⊙, and star-formation rates of SFR ∼ 0.1−1 M⊙ yr−1
. Our search finds no candidates
at 15 < z < 20, placing upper limits at these redshifts. We develop a forward modeling approach to
infer the properties of the evolving luminosity function without binning in redshift or luminosity that
marginalizes over the photometric redshift uncertainty of our candidate galaxies and incorporates the
impact of non-detections. We find a z = 12 luminosity function in good agreement with prior results,
and that the luminosity function normalization and UV luminosity density decline by a factor of ∼ 2.5
from z = 12 to z = 14. We discuss the possible implications of our results in the context of theoretical
models for evolution of the dark matter halo mass function.
DERIVATION OF MODIFIED BERNOULLI EQUATION WITH VISCOUS EFFECTS AND TERMINAL V...Wasswaderrick3
In this book, we use conservation of energy techniques on a fluid element to derive the Modified Bernoulli equation of flow with viscous or friction effects. We derive the general equation of flow/ velocity and then from this we derive the Pouiselle flow equation, the transition flow equation and the turbulent flow equation. In the situations where there are no viscous effects , the equation reduces to the Bernoulli equation. From experimental results, we are able to include other terms in the Bernoulli equation. We also look at cases where pressure gradients exist. We use the Modified Bernoulli equation to derive equations of flow rate for pipes of different cross sectional areas connected together. We also extend our techniques of energy conservation to a sphere falling in a viscous medium under the effect of gravity. We demonstrate Stokes equation of terminal velocity and turbulent flow equation. We look at a way of calculating the time taken for a body to fall in a viscous medium. We also look at the general equation of terminal velocity.
Richard's aventures in two entangled wonderlandsRichard Gill
Since the loophole-free Bell experiments of 2020 and the Nobel prizes in physics of 2022, critics of Bell's work have retreated to the fortress of super-determinism. Now, super-determinism is a derogatory word - it just means "determinism". Palmer, Hance and Hossenfelder argue that quantum mechanics and determinism are not incompatible, using a sophisticated mathematical construction based on a subtle thinning of allowed states and measurements in quantum mechanics, such that what is left appears to make Bell's argument fail, without altering the empirical predictions of quantum mechanics. I think however that it is a smoke screen, and the slogan "lost in math" comes to my mind. I will discuss some other recent disproofs of Bell's theorem using the language of causality based on causal graphs. Causal thinking is also central to law and justice. I will mention surprising connections to my work on serial killer nurse cases, in particular the Dutch case of Lucia de Berk and the current UK case of Lucy Letby.
Toxic effects of heavy metals : Lead and Arsenicsanjana502982

Observation of Io’s Resurfacing via Plume Deposition Using Ground-based Adapt...Sérgio Sacani
Since volcanic activity was first discovered on Io from Voyager images in 1979, changes
on Io’s surface have been monitored from both spacecraft and ground-based telescopes.
Here, we present the highest spatial resolution images of Io ever obtained from a groundbased telescope. These images, acquired by the SHARK-VIS instrument on the Large
Binocular Telescope, show evidence of a major resurfacing event on Io’s trailing hemisphere. When compared to the most recent spacecraft images, the SHARK-VIS images
show that a plume deposit from a powerful eruption at Pillan Patera has covered part
of the long-lived Pele plume deposit. Although this type of resurfacing event may be common on Io, few have been detected due to the rarity of spacecraft visits and the previously low spatial resolution available from Earth-based telescopes. The SHARK-VIS instrument ushers in a new era of high resolution imaging of Io’s surface using adaptive
optics at visible wavelengths.

1. Why is it a good idea to avoid a large
object moving quickly?
Stopping moving objects
2. 6.5.5 Momentum (HT only)
6.5.5.1 Momentum is a property of moving
objects
• Momentum is defined by the equation:
• momentum = mass × velocity
• p = m v
• momentum, p, in kilograms metre per
second, kg m/s
• mass, m, in kilograms, kg
• velocity, v, in metres per second, m/s
3. 6.5.5.2 Conservation of momentum
• In a closed system, the total momentum
before an event is equal to the total
momentum after the event.
• This is called conservation of momentum.
• Students should be able to use the
concept of momentum as a model to
describe and explain examples of
momentum in an event, such as a
collision.
4. MOMENTUM
• Understand the term ‘momentum’
• Recall and use the equation for momentum:
p=mv
• Describe how velocity and mass affect
momentum

• Explain the term ‘Conservation of momentum’
• Use the concept of momentum as a model to
describe and explain examples of momentum
in an event, such as a collision.
5. What is momentum?

What is momentum?
8. If both cars travel at the same velocity, but
one is full with luggage and the other is
empty, which will have the most
momentum?
The heavier car.
What is momentum?
9. The bigger an
object is and
the faster it
moves, the
more
momentum it
will have and
the more
difficult it will
be to stop.
What is momentum?
10. All moving objects have
momentum. This is a measure
of how difficult it is to stop a
moving object.
What is momentum?
11. So why do we need to
know about momentum?
Simply, it is a tool.
It can help us understand
what happens when
objects collide or
EXPLODE!
What is momentum?
12. How is momentum calculated?
The momentum of an object can be
calculated using this equation:
momentum = mass × velocity
Velocity is measured in metres per second
(m/s).
Momentum is measured in kilogram
metres per second (kg m/s).
Mass is measured in kilograms (kg).
13. An aircraft carrier
has a mass of
1,000,000 kg and a
velocity of 15 m/s.
What is its
momentum?
Calculating momentum
= 1,000,000 × 15
momentum = mass × velocity
= 15,000,000kg m/s
14. Calculating momentum
• A ball of mass 20kg has a velocity of
5m/s, Show that its momentum is
100kg m/s?
15. Momentum in collisions
• We now calculate the total
momentum of two objects
6 kg
10 m/s
10kg
20 m/s
16. Scalar or vector?
Velocity is a vector quantity – this means it has a
magnitude (size) and direction. Scalar quantities, such
as speed, only have a magnitude.
As velocity is needed to calculate momentum, momentum
must also be a vector quantity and it therefore has a direction.
If two objects of the same
mass are moving in opposite
directions but at the same
speed (i.e. their velocities are
different), the momentum of
each object will be different.
A ‘+’ and a ‘–’ are often used
to indicate the opposite directions of momentum.
17. Momentum
• Momentum is a vector quantity
• This means it has both a size and direction
• Look at this, both cars have a mass of 100 kg and both
have a speed of 10m/s. What are their momentum?
+
19. Which are the units of momentum?

a velocity of 5 m/s?
A. 35 J/s
B. 130 kg m/s
C. 150 J/s
D. 150 kg m/s
23. A 5kg ball hits a wall at 4m/s and bounces off
at 2m/s. What is its change in momentum?
A. 6 kg m/s
B. 30 kg m/s
C. 10 kg m/s
D. 20 kg m/s
24. Car crashes and momentum
Both cars come to a stop
in a short space of time.
This means that the cars
and their occupants
experience a large change
of momentum very quickly.
Why could this cause a
very serious injury?
Two cars travelling very quickly collide
A very large change of momentum in a short space of
time means that the car occupants will experience a
large force.
Using this principle, how could you improve the safety of cars?
27. If two objects collide or interact, the
forces acting on each one will be the
same size but in opposite directions.
The same is true for the change in
momentum of each object.
This means that the
momentum lost by one of
the objects will be gained
by the other object.
What is conservation of momentum?
Therefore, whenever two objects collide or
interact, momentum is conserved.
28. Momentum: Collisions and explosions
In a collision or explosion we can say
The momentum
before
(in a particular direction)
The momentum after
(in a particular direction)
=
As long as there are no other
external forces

then let go, what happens to the momentum of this ball?

6) A closed system has no external forces acting on it
7) When a moving object collides with another object some of its
momentum is transferred to the other object (i.e. it shares some
of its momentum)
8) ‘Conservation of momentum’ means that the total momentum
before an event is the same as the momentum after the event.
9) 10kg m/s - 4kg m/s = 6kg m/s
10) The momentum is transferred along the row of balls.
11) The ball moves to almost the same height as the ball at the
start because momentum is conserved; ball at the end has
same momentum as the first ball that hit the row of balls.

Teacher notes
This simulation of a Newton’s cradle can be used to get students thinking about what happens to momentum in collisions, and to introduce the principle of conservation of momentum.
Teacher notes
This five-stage animation shows how the principle of conservation of momentum can be used to calculate the velocity of an object.
Teacher notes
It could be worth refreshing the students’ understanding of Newton’s third law of motion at this point.
Momentum is only conserved in a closed system, i.e. a system that is not affected by external forces.
Teacher notes
This true-or-false quiz could be used as a starter exercise to work on momentum. Students could be given coloured traffic light cards (red = false, green = true) to vote on the statements shown. To stretch students, they could be asked to explain their voting.
Teacher notes
This multiple-choice quiz could be used as a plenary activity to assess students’ understanding of momentum and collisions. The questions can be skipped through without answering by pressing the forward arrow. Students could be asked to complete the questions in their books and the activity could be concluded by the completion on the IWB.
Teacher notes
This virtual experiment enables students to explore how mass and velocity affect the momentum of an object, and how momentum is conserved in a collision.
Select a mass and velocity for each trolley, then click the momentum box to reveal the momentum of each trolley, or ask students to calculate the value first. Once the trolleys have collided, students could be encouraged to calculate the total momentum and velocity of the combined trolleys, before revealing the final values and the working for the calculations.
