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

The famous cliff divers of Acapulco leap from a perch 35 m above the ocean. How fast are they moving when they reach the surface
Rus_ich [418]

1) 26.2 m/s

The mechanical energy of the divers at any point of their vertical motion is sum of the kinetic energy and the gravitational potential energy:

E=K+U = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 + mgh

where

m is the mass of the diver

v is the speed

g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity

h is the height above the water

When the diver is on the cliff, v = 0 (he is at rest), so K=0 and the initial mechanical energy is just potential energy:

E_i = mgh

where h=35 m is the height of the cliff.

When the diver hits the water above, h = 0, so U=0 and the final mechanical energy is just kinetic energy:

E_f = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

since the total mechanical energy is conserved, we have

E_i = E_f\\mgh = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

And solving the equation for v, we find the speed when they reach the surface of the water:

v=\sqrt{2gh}=\sqrt{2(9.8 m/s^2)(35 m)}=26.2 m/s

2) It is converted into thermal energy of the water

When the diver enters the water, he suddenly feels another force acting against the motion of the diver: the resistance of the water. The resistance of the water acts upward, slowing down the diver until he stops.

In this process, the speed of the diver (v) decreases, and therefore the kinetic energy of the diver decreases as well, until it becomes zero.

However, this does not mean that the conservation of energy has been violated. In fact, the kinetic energy of the diver has been converted into thermal energy of the molecules of water surrounding the diver.

A train travels 55km, south along a straight track in 34minutes. What is the train Ls average velocity in kilometers per hour
Westkost [7]

Answer:

96.5 km/h

Explanation:

The average velocity of the train is given by:

v=\frac{d}{t}

where

d is the displacement

t is the time taken

For this train, we have:

d = 55 km south (displacement is a vector, so we must also consider the direction)

t= 34 min \cdot \frac{1}{60 min/h}=0.57 h

Substituting into the equation, we find the average velocity:

v=\frac{55 km}{0.57 h}=96.5 km/h

The total sum of atoms in an object.
Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

Mass

Explanation:

The total sum of atoms in an object is the mass of the object. There are several ways to quantify the number of atoms in a substance.

  • In chemical calculations, the number of moles is a good representation of the number of atoms contained in a body.
  • Mass is the amount of substances a body has.
  • If we can sum up all the atoms in a substance, one will arrive at the mass of the substance
