You're in the middle of moving and need to bring furniture and into your new house. You want to prop the door open, but your dog

ate the doorstopper (and your homework). All you can find is a large brick. If you want to impart the largest torque on the door to keep it open, where should you place the brick?
A) Put the brick as close to the hinges as possible.
B) Put the brick in the middle of the door.
C) Put the brick as far from the hinges as possible.

Answer:

C) Put the brick as far from the hinges as possible

Explanation:

As torque is the product of the force around the rotation point and the distance to the pivot point, and the mass (force) of the brick stays constant, what we can do to maximize the torque is maximize the distance to the pivot point, aka the hinge. So we should put the brick as far from the hinges as possible.

How should the amount of elastic potential energy when the spring is fully stretched compare to the amount of kinetic energy whe
diamong [38]

If there are no dissipative forces acting on the string, than the <em>principle of conservation of energy</em> holds.

When the string is relaxed, it has zero elastic potential energy

If we were strech the she spring, we would increase it's potential energy. After releasing the spring, when it's relaxed again, all potential energy will have been converted into kinetic energy.

Therefore, the elastic potential energy of the stretched spring should be equal to the amount of kinetic energy when it's relaxed

A tank contains 0.568 mol of molecular nitrogen (N2). Determine the mass (in grams) of nitrogen that must be removed from the ta
Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

\Delta M = 7.812 gm

Explanation:

we know that for ideal gag we have

pV =nRT

Since volume, gas constant R and T are constant, so we have

\frac{p}{n]  = constant

\frac{44.7}{0.568} =\frac{22.8}{n}

n = 0.289 mole

hence mass removed\Delta M =( 0.568 - 0.289)*( molecular\ weight\ of \ nitrogen)

\Delta M = (0.568 - 0.289) *28 gm

\Delta M = 7.812 gm

Which of the followings are true about Vmax? A. The higher the [enzyme], the higher the Vmax B. Vmax is proportional to k2 C. Vm
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

Correct answer is A.

The higher the enzyme, the higher the Vmax

Explanation:

Although, in the absence of enzyme, the rate of a reaction(Vmax) increase linearly with substrate concentration. The reaction rate is given as dp/dt.

The rate of a reaction involving enzyme also increases.

At low enzyme concentrations or high substrate concentrations, all of the available enzyme active sites could be occupied with substrates. Therefore, increasing the substrate concentration further will not change the rate of diffusion. In other words, there is some maximum reaction rate (Vmax) when all enzyme active sites are occupied. The reaction rate will increase with increasing substrate concentration, but must asymptotically approach the saturation rate, Vmax. Vmax is directly proportional to the total enzyme concentration, E
