Answer: Catalase enzyme

Explanation:

The catalase is an enzyme that is commonly found in the living organisms that are exposed to minute or high amount of oxygen or those in which aerobic respiration takes place.

This enzyme catalyzes the breakdown or decomposition of the hydrogen peroxide into oxygen and water. In humans and animals the catalase is present in liver, where it conducts the function of detoxifying the body by decomposing the toxins.

Are the units of the formula ma = mv2/2 dimensionally consistent? Select the single best answer.

Vesnalui [34]

To solve the problem we will simply perform equivalence between both expressions. We will proceed to place your units and develop your internal operations in case there is any. From there we will compare and look at its consistency

$ma = \text{Mass}\times \text{Acceleration}$

$ma = kg \cdot \frac{m}{s^2}$

At the same time we have that

$\frac{1}{2}mv^2 = \text{Mass}\times \text{Velocity}^2$

$\frac{1}{2}mv^2 = kg ( \frac{m}{s})^2$

$\frac{1}{2}mv^2 = kg \cdot \frac{m^2}{s^2}$

Therefore there is not have same units and both are not consistent and the correct answer is B.

a ballistic pendulum is used to measure the speed of high-speed projectiles. A 6 g bullet A is fired into a 1 kg wood block B su

Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

(a) v-bullet = 399.04 m/s

(b) I = 2.38 kg m/s

Explanation:

(a) To calculate the initial speed of the bullet, you first take into account that the kinetic energy of both wood block and bullet, just after the bullet impacts the block, is equal to the potential gravitational energy of block and bullet when the cord is at 60° respect to the vertical.

The potential energy is given by:

$U=(M+m)gh$ (1)

U: potential energy

M: mass of the wood block = 1 kg

m: mass of the bullet = 6g = 6.0*10^-3 kg

g: gravitational constant = 9.8m/s^2

h: distance to the ground

The distance to the ground is calculate d by using the information about the length of the cord and the degrees of the cord respect to the vertical:

$h=l-lsin\theta\\\\h=2.2m-2,2m\ sin60\°=0.29m$

The potential energy is:

$U=(1kg+6*10^{-3}kg)(9.8m/s^2)(0.29m)=2.85J$

Next, the potential energy is equal to kinetic energy of the block and the bullet at the beginning of its motion:

$U=\frac{1}{2}(M+m)v^2\\\\v=\sqrt{2\frac{U}{M+m}}=\sqrt{2\frac{2.85J}{1kg+6*10^{-3}kg}}=2.38\frac{m}{s}$

Next, you use the momentum conservation law, in order to calculate the speed of the bullet before the impact:

$Mv_1+mv_2=(M+m)v$ (2)

v1: initial velocity of the wood block = 0m/s

v2: initial speed of the bullet

v: speed of bullet and block = 2.38m/s

You solve the equation (2) for v2:

$M(0)+mv_2=(M+m)v$

$v_2=\frac{M+m}{m}v=\frac{1kg+6*10^{-3}kg}{6*10^{-3}kg}(2.38m/s)\\\\v_2=399.04\frac{m}{s}$

The speed of the bullet before the impact with the wood block is 399.04 m/s

(b) The impulse is gibe by the change in the velocity of the block, multiplied by the mass of the block:

$I=M\Delta v=M(v-v_1)=(1kg)(2.38m/s-0m/s)=2.38kg\frac{m}{s}$

The impulse is 2.38 kgm/s

(c) The force on the cord after the impact is equal to the centripetal force over the block and bullet. That is:

$T=F_c=(M+m)\frac{v^2}{l}=(1.006kg)\frac{(2.38m/s)^2}{2.2m}=2.59N$

The force on the cord after the impact is 2.59N

If a 12 kg cat is sitting 5 m up in a tree, how much PE does it have?

Helen [10]

Answer:

588 J

Explanation:

PE (potential energy) = (mass) x (gravity) x (height)

mass = 12 kg

gravity = 9.8m/s^2

height = 5 m

PE = (12) x (9.8) x (5) = 588 J (Joules)

Ned tightens a bolt in his car engine by exerting 15 N of force on his wrench at a distance of 0.45m from the fulcrum. How much

____ [38]

Answer:

$T = 6.75\,N\cdot m$

Explanation:

Vectorially speaking, torque is the cross product between force and distance from fulcrum. Its magnitude is equal to the following expression:

$T = F\cdot r \cdot \sin \theta$

$T = F_{\bot} \cdot r$

Let assume that force is perpendicular to the distance from the fulcrum. So, the torque needed to turn the bolt is:

$T = (15\,N)\cdot (0.45\,m)$

$T = 6.75\,N\cdot m$

How much force (in Newtons) acts on a 1700 kg car going around a

Daniel [21]

Answer:

b) 4781 N

Explanation:

Because there is a redius do this question is talking about the acceleration force which= mv^2/r

so a=15^2/80=2.8125 m^2/s

so the force will be = m.a

F =1700×2.8125=4781.25 N
