A little. Momentum is mass times velocity. The more momentum and object has the harder it is to stop. So the more momentum a bobsled has the more effective it will be against the forces trying to slow it down such as friction, wind resistance, drag, etc.

However, this does assume that the bobsled team can get the heavier sled up to the same speed as a lighter one.

Why do American nuclear plants use light water instead of heavy water in the reactors?

Mainly I believe because the light water PWR was developed for submarines and as compact a reactor as possible was required. Since then of course it (and BWR's) have been up-sized very successfully. Enriched fuel can now be made much more easily and cheaply by centrifuges than by the diffusion method, so to obtain low enriched fuel is more economical. There is also MOX available, though I don't think the US uses this. See the discussion page as well


How can you tell which tube fermentation is happening faster?

You can compare the rate of gas production in each tube by observing the bubbles or foam formation. The tube with more bubbles or faster gas production is likely undergoing faster fermentation. Additionally, you can measure the pH or ethanol concentration in each tube to track the progression of fermentation.


What is a USDA fast track designation?

How wide is an average bobsled?

An average bobsled is typically about 1.0 to 1.2 meters (approximately 3.3 to 4.0 feet) wide. This width allows for optimal aerodynamics and stability while navigating the twists and turns of a bobsled track. The design also ensures that the sled can accommodate the required number of team members safely.
