<span>Einstein reconciled these ideas by describing space and time as parts of a whole called space-time. He explained that space and time, the factors that determine motion or speed, are relative because the speed of light is constant.</span>

Answer:

Sample answer on edge:

Space and time are parts of a whole called space-time. The factors that determine speed are space and time. Space and time are relative because the speed of light is the same in all reference frames.

Given that the concentration of bovine carbonic anhydrase is 3.3 pmol ⋅ L − 1 and R max ( V max ) = 222 μmol ⋅ L − 1 ⋅ s − 1 , d

LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

The turnover number of the enzyme molecule bovine carbonic anhydrase = 67,272,727.27 s^–1.

Explanation:

Given:

The concentration of bovine carbonic anhydrase = total enzyme concentration = Et = 3.3 pmol⋅L^–1 = 3.3 × 10^–12 mol.L^–1

The maximum rate of reaction = Rmax (Vmax) = 222 μmol⋅L^–1⋅s^–1 = 222 × 10^–6 mol.L^–1⋅s^–1

The formula for the turnover number of an enzyme (kcat, or catalytic rate constant) = Rmax ÷ Et = 222 × 10^–6 mol.L^–1⋅s^–1 ÷ 3.3 × 10^–12 mol.L^–1 = 67,272,727.27 s^–1

Therefore, the turnover number of the enzyme molecule bovine carbonic anhydrase = 67,272,727.27 s^–1

Explain why the speed of light is lower than 3.0 × 108 m/s as it goes through different media.

alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

air or vacuum is the least refractive index medium of most rare medium

all other medium has more value of refractive index and hence the speed will be less than the speed of the air

Explanation:

As we know that speed of light in any medium and speed of light in air is related to each other by the equation

$v = \frac{c}{\mu}$

here we know that

$c = 3 \times 10^8 m/s$

[tex]\mu [tex] = refractive index of the medium

so we know that air or vacuum is the least refractive index medium of most rare medium

all other medium has more value of refractive index and hence the speed will be less than the speed of the air

A student used a tuning fork of frequency 320 Hz and observed that the speed of sound was 339 m/s. Calculate the wavelength of t

Helen [10]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to wavelength as a function of speed and frequency. In mathematical terms it can be expressed as

$\lambda = \frac{v}{f}$
