A kinesin that is transporting a secretory vesicle uses approximately 80 ATP molecules/s. Each ATP provides a kinesin molecule w

ith an energy of about 0.8 × 10-19 J. If the velocity of the kinesin is 800 nm/s, can you determine the force the kinesin is exerting, if you assume that all the ATP energy is used (100% efficiency)? If you can, find it and give your answer in newtons. If not, answer with 0.

Answer:

The force is  F  =   8*10^{-12} \ N

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The rate at which ATP molecules are used is R =  80 ATP/ s

       The energy provided by a single ATP is  E_{ATP} =  0.8 *  10^{-19} J

       The velocity of the kinesin is  v  =  800 nm/s =  800*10^{-9} m/s

The power provided by the ATP in one second is  mathematically represented as

       P =  E_{ATP}  *  R

substituting values

       P =  80 * 0.8*10^{-19 }

       P =  6.4 *10^{-18}J/s

Now  this power is mathematically represented as

       P  =  F *  v

Where  F  is  the force the kinesin is exerting

  Thus  

          F  =   \frac{P}{v}

substituting values

            F  =   \frac{6.4*0^{-18}}{800 *10^{-9}}

           F  =   8*10^{-12} \ N

A long solenoid, of radius a, is driven by an alternating current, so that the field inside is sinusoidal: B(t) = B0 cos(ωt) ˆz.
Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

B(t) = B0 cos(ωt) • k

Radius r = a

Inner radius r' = a/2 and resistance R.

Current in the loop as a function of time I(t) =?

Magnetic flux is given as

Φ = BA

And the Area is given as

A = πr², where r = a/2

A = πa²/4

Then,

Φ = ¼ Bπa²

Φ(t) = ¼πa²Bo•Cos(ωt)

Then, the EMF is given as

ε(t) = -dΦ/dt

ε(t) = -¼πa²Bo • -ωSin(ωt)

ε(t) = ¼ωπa²Bo•Sin(ωt)

From ohms law,

ε = iR

Then, i = ε/R

I(t) = ¼ωπa²Bo•Sin(ωt) /R

This is the current induced in the loop.

Write down the (real) electric and magnetic fields for a monochromatic plane wave of amplitude E0 , frequency w, and phase angle
jeka57 [31]

Answer:

a) the oscillation of this field is in phase, when the magnetic field goes in the negative direction of y, the elective field goes in the positive direction of the z axis

b) the direction of the magnetic field perpendicular to this electric field and the speed in the negative x the magnetic field goes in the x direction and in the direction (1, - 1.1)

Explanation:

a) the polarization the determined wave oscillates the electric field, which is the z axis

 As the wave travels on the negative x-axis and the magnetic field is perpendicular, this field goes on the positive y-axis

the oscillation of this field is in phase, when the magnetic field goes in the negative direction of y, the elective field goes in the positive direction of the z axis

be) in the case of a polarization in the xi plane the magnetic field must go in the direction of the magnetic field perpendicular to this electric field and the speed in the negative x the magnetic field goes in the x direction and in the direction (1, - 1.1)

What is the force of an object with a mass of 30 kg that is free falling?
disa [49]

Answer:

F = 294.3 [N]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use Newton's second law which tells us that force is equal to the product of mass by acceleration. It is this particular case the acceleration is due to the gravitational acceleration since the body is in free fall.

Therefore we have:

F = m*g

where:

F  = force [N]

m = mass = 30 [kg]

g = gravity acceleration = 9.81 [m/s^2]

F = 30*9.81

F = 294.3 [N]

If a snowboarder’s initial speed is 4 m/s and comes to rest when making it to the upper level. With a slightly greater initial s
Brrunno [24]

(a) At a corresponding hill on Earth and a lesser gravity on planet Epslion, the height of the hill will cause a reduction in the initial speed of the snowboarder from 4 m/s to a value greater than zero (0).

(b) If the initial speed at the bottom of the hill is 5 m/s, the final speed at the top of the hill be greater than 3 m/s.

<h3>Conservation of mechanical energy</h3>

The effect of height  and gravity on speed on the given planet Epislon is determined by applying the principle of conservation of mechanical energy as shown below;

ΔK.E = ΔP.E

¹/₂m(v²- u²) = mg(hi - hf)

¹/₂(v²- u²) = g(0 - hf)

v² - u² = -2ghf

v² = u² - 2ghf

where;

  • v is the final velocity at upper level
  • u is the initial velocity
  • hf is final height
  • g is acceleration due to gravity

when u² = 2gh, then v² = 0,

when gravity reduces, u² > 2gh, and v² > 0

Thus, at a corresponding hill on Earth and a lesser gravity on planet Epslion, the height of the hill will cause a reduction in the initial speed of the snowboarder from 4 m/s to a value greater than zero (0).

<h3>Final speed</h3>

v² = u² - 2ghf

where;

  • u is the initial speed = 5 m/s
  • g is acceleration due to gravity and its less than 9.8 m/s²
  • v is final speed
  • hf is equal height

Since g on Epislon is less than 9.8 m/s² of Earth;

5² - 2ghf > 3 m/s

Thus, if the initial speed at the bottom of the hill is 5 m/s, the final speed at the top of the hill be greater than 3 m/s.
