Final answer:
The growth pattern of Amit's puppy's weight over time is not explicitly described as linear or nonlinear, but it generally refers to biological growth patterns and requires data analysis to determine if it's a linear or nonlinear relationship. A positive relationship indicates weight increases with time, while a significant correlation means a strong linear relationship between time and weight. Lighter objects can have more momentum than heavier ones if they have higher velocity.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question about Amit's puppy weight in terms of time is not a linear or nonlinear relationship; instead, it refers to growth patterns typically observed in biology. However, if we were to discuss whether a puppy's weight follows a linear or nonlinear growth pattern over time, we would need to look at the data points representing the puppy's weight measurements at different times. If the growth rate is constant, we would expect a straight line on a graph (linear relationship), but if the growth rate increases or decreases as the puppy gets older, the line would curve either upwards or downwards (nonlinear relationship).
The determination of whether the correlation is significant would require an analysis of the data, looking at statistical measures like the correlation coefficient. A significant correlation means that there's a strong relationship between the two variables being studied, in this case, time and the puppy's weight.
Additionally, a positive relationship in this context would mean that as time increases, the puppy's weight also increases, which is generally the expected pattern as puppies grow. Conversely, a negative relationship would imply that as time increases, the puppy's weight decreases, which would be unusual and could indicate a health issue. In terms of weight and fuel efficiency, a positive relationship would mean that as the weight increases, fuel efficiency improves, which is contrary to what is typically observed in vehicles where increased weight tends to decrease fuel efficiency.
Concerning the extended response on linear momentum, force, and impulse, an object's momentum is the product of its mass and velocity. Therefore, it is possible for a lighter object to have more momentum than a heavier one if the lighter object has a sufficiently greater velocity.
