What types of nutrient(s) does saliva help digest? What

2 answers:

8 0

The digestive functions of saliva include moistening food, and helping to create a food bolus, so it can be swallowed easily. Saliva contains the enzyme amylase that breaks some starches down into maltose and dextrin. Thus, digestion of food occurs within the mouth, even before food reaches the stomach.

Saliva contains the enzyme amylase, also called ptyalin, which is capable of breaking down starch into simpler sugars such as maltose and dextrin that can be further broken down in the small intestine. About 30% starch digestion takes place in the mouth cavity.

$\textsf {\large{\underline { \underline {SOLUTION:-}}}}$

⇰Let O be the point of observation on the ground OX.

⇰Let A and B be the two positions of the jet.

$\bf➠Then, \angle XOA=60⁰ \: and \: \angle \: XOB=30⁰ \\ \\$

$\bf ➠Draw \: AL \perp \: OX \: and \: BM \perp \: OX \\ \\$

$\bf \:⇰ Let \: AL=BM=h \: meters. \\ \\$

$\bf \: ⇰ \: Speed \: of \: Jet = 720 \: km/hr\\$

$\bf = \huge( \small \: 720 \times \frac{5}{18} \huge) \small \: m / s\\$

$\bf = 200 \: m/s$

$\bf \:➥ Time \: taken \: to \: cover \: the \: distance \: AB=15 \: sec \\ \\$

$\bf➥ Distance \: covered =(speed×time) \\ \\$

$\: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \bf = (200 \times 15)m = 3000m \\ \\$

$\bf \therefore LM=AB=3000m \\ \\$

${ \bf \: ⇰ \: Let \: OL} = x \: \bf m \\ \\$

$\bf➥From \: right \: \triangle OLA, \: we \: have: \\$

$\bf \frac{OL}{AL} =cot \: 60⁰= \frac{1}{ \sqrt{3} } \implies \frac{x}{h} = \frac{1}{ \sqrt{3} } \\ \\$

$\bf \implies \: x = \frac{h}{ \sqrt{3} } \: \: \: \: \: \: \: ....(1) \\ \\$

$\bf \:➥ From \: right \: \triangle \: OMB,we \: have: \\$

$\bf\frac{OM}{BM} =cot30⁰= \sqrt{3} \\ \\$

$\bf \implies \: \frac{x + 3000}{h} = \sqrt{3} \\ \\$

$\bf[ \boxed{➯OM=OL+LM=OL+AB=(x+3000)m \: and \: BM=h \: m]}$

$\bf \implies \: x + 3000 = \sqrt{3} h \\$

$\bf \implies \: x = ( \sqrt{3} h - 3000) \: \: \: \: \: \: ....(2) \\$

⇰ Equating the value of x from (1) and (2),we get;

$\bf \: \sqrt{3} h - 3000 = \frac{h}{ \sqrt{3} } \\ \\$

$\implies \bf \: 3h - 3000 \sqrt{3} = h \\$

$\bf \implies \: 2h = (3000 \times \sqrt{3} ) = (3000 \times 1.762) \\$

$\bf \implies \: h = (3000 \times 0.866) = 2598 \\ \\$

$\bf \:➥ Hence \: ,the \: required \: height \: is \: \boxed{ \boxed{ \bf2598 \: m.}} \\ \\$
