A certain signal molecule S in heart tissue is degraded by two different biochemical pathways: when only Path 1 is active, the h

alf-life of S is 3.9 s. When only Path 2 is active, the half-life of S is 104. s. Calculate the half-life of S when both pathways are active.

Answer:

Half life of S = 3.76secs

Explanation:

The concept of half life in radioactivity is applied. Half life is the time taken for a radioactive material to decay to half of its initial size.

For part 1 - How much signal will be degraded in 1secs = 1/3.9 = 0.2564

for part 2 - How much signal will be degraded in 1secs = 1/104 = 0.009615

Simply say = 1/3.9 + 1/104 = 0.266015

So both part 1 and part 2 took 1/0.266015 = 3.76secs is the half life of S when both pathways are active

Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When the child is tossed up into the air then she gains kinetic energy as the child has moved from its initial position.

It is given that mass is 20 kg, velocity is 5 m/s^{2}, and height is 2 m.

Calculate the kinetic energy of child as follows.

             kinetic energy = \frac{1}{2}mv^{2}

                                      = \frac{1}{2}20 kg \times (5 m/s)^{2}

                                      = 10 kg \times 25 m^{2}/s^{2}

                                      = 250 kg m^{2}/s^{2}

Also, when child falls off the ground then she will have gravitational potential energy.

Calculate gravitational potential energy of child as follows.

            Potential energy = m × g × h

                                         = 20 kg \times 9.8 m/s^{2} \times 2 m

                                         = 392 kg m^{2}/s^{2}

7.5 h
Julli [10]

The distance traveled by plane flying at 1200 Km/h for 2.5 hours is 3000 Km.

Velocity is a vector quantity. It has both a direction and a magnitude. Speed is used to calculate the magnitude of velocity. The meter per second is the S.I. unit for this. The units km/h and km/s are additional units. [LT-1] is the dimensional equation for it.

The distance traveled by the object is calculated as the product of the velocity with which it was moving and the time interval for which the distance covered is calculated.

Distance traveled =  Velocity × Time

Given in the question

Velocity of the plane = 1200 Km/h

Time Traveled = 2.5 h

Put in the value, we get

Distance traveled =  1200 × 2.5

Distance traveled = 3000 Km

Hence, the distance traveled by plane flying at 1200 Km/h for 2.5 hours is 3000 Km.

What is the velocity of a car that travelled a total of 75 km north in 1.5 hrs?
AURORKA [14]
V=d*t
Since d=75km=75000m
t=1.5h=3600*1.5= 5400s
=>V=75000*5400
=405000000m/s=4.05*10^8m/s
