What role does actin and myosin play in the process of muscle contraction?

Margarita [4]

Answer:

Muscle contraction thus results from an interaction between the actin and myosin filaments that generates their movement relative to one another. The molecular basis for this interaction is the binding of myosin to actin filaments, allowing myosin to function as a motor that drives filament sliding.

An electric furnace is to melt 40 kg of aluminium/hour. The initial temperature of aluminium is 32°C. Given that aluminium has s

Answer:

Part a)

P = 13.93 kW

Part b)

R = 8357.6 Cents

Explanation:

Part A)

heat required to melt the aluminium is given by

$Q = ms\Delta T + mL$

here we have

$Q = 40(950)(680 - 32) + 40(450 \times 10^3)$

$Q = 24624 kJ + 18000 kJ$

$Q = 42624 kJ$

Since this is the amount of aluminium per hour

so power required to melt is given by

$P = \frac{Q}{t}$

$P = \frac{42624}{3600} kW$

$P = 11.84 kW$

Since the efficiency is 85% so actual power required will be

$P = \frac{11.84}{0.85} = 13.93 kW$

Part B)

Total energy consumed by the furnace for 30 hours

$Energy = power \times time$

$Energy = 13.93 kW\times 30 h$

$Energy = 417.9 kWh$

now the total cost of energy consumption is given as

$R = P \times 20 \frac{Cents}{kWh}$

$R = 417.9 kWh\times 20 \frac{cents}{kWh}$

$R = 8357.6 Cents$
