Solution :

Michaelis-Menten kinetics in the field of biochemistry is considered as one of the well known models for enzyme kinetics. The model represents an equation that describes the enzymatic reactions's rate by relating the reaction rate to the substrate's concentration. The equation is named after the two famous scientists, Leonor Michaelis and Maud Menten.

The formula is :

$v=\frac{V_{max}[S]}{K_M + [S]}$

where v = velocity of reaction

$V_{max}$ = maximum rate achieved

$K_M$ = Michaelis constant

[S] = concentration of the substrate, S

According to the question, by putting the velocity of reaction, v as $\frac{V_{max}}{4}$ , we get the above equation as

$[S]= \frac{K_M}{3}$

Therefore the answer is $[S]= \frac{K_M}{3}$

A solar cell generates a potential difference of 0.25 V when a 550 Ω resistor is connected across it, and a potential difference

Andre45 [30]

a) $400 \Omega$

b) 0.43 V

c) 0.44 %

Explanation:

a)

For a battery with internal resistance, the relationship between emf of the battery and the terminal voltage (the voltage provided) is

$V=E-Ir$ (1)

where

V is the terminal voltage

E is the emf of the battery

I is the current

r is the internal resistance

In this problem, we have two situations:

1) when $R_1=550 \Omega$ , $V_1=0.25 V$

Using Ohm's Law, the current is:

$I_1=\frac{V_1}{R_1}=\frac{0.25}{550}=4.5\cdot 10^{-4} A$

2) when $R_2=1000 \Omega$ , $V_2=0.31 V$

Using Ohm's Law, the current is:

$I_2=\frac{V_2}{R_2}=\frac{0.31}{1000}=3.1\cdot 10^{-4} A$

Now we can rewrite eq.(1) in two forms:

$V_1 = E-I_1 r$

$V_2=E-I_2 r$

And we can solve this system of equations to find r, the internal resistance. We do it by substracting eq.(2) from eq(1), we find:

$V_1-V_2=r(I_2-I_1)\\r=\frac{V_1-V_2}{I_2-I_1}=\frac{0.25-0.31}{3.1\cdot 10^{-4}-4.5\cdot 10^{-4}}=400 \Omega$

b)

To find the electromotive force (emf) of the solar cell, we simply use the equation used in part a)

$V=E-Ir$

where

V is the terminal voltage

E is the emf of the battery

I is the current

r is the internal resistance

Using the first set of data,

$V=0.25 V$ is the voltage

$I=4.5\cdot 10^{-4}A$ is the current

$r=400\Omega$ is the internal resistance

Solving for E,

$E=V+Ir=0.25+(4.5\cdot 10^{-4})(400)=0.43 V$

c)

In this part, we are told that the area of the cell is

$A=4.0 cm^2$

While the intensity of incoming radiation (the energy received per unit area) is

$Int.=5.5 mW/cm^2$

This means that the power of the incoming radiation is:

$P=Int.\cdot A=(5.5)(4.0)=22 mW = 0.022 W$

This is the power in input to the resistor.

The power in output to the resistor can be found by using

$P'=I^2R$

where:

$R=1000 \Omega$ is the resistance of the resistor

$I=3.1\cdot 10^{-4} A$ is the current on the resistor (found in part A)

Susbtituting,

$P'=(3.1\cdot 10^{-4})^2(1000)=9.61\cdot 10^{-5} W$

Therefore, the efficiency of the cell in converting light energy to thermal energy is:

$\epsilon = \frac{P'}{P}\cdot 100 = \frac{9.6\cdot 10^{-5}}{0.022}=0.0044\cdot 100 = 0.44\%$

When a comet comes close to the Sun, what happens to it that makes it bright and easier to see?

Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

Explanation:

Comet is made by dust particles, icy particles, gases etc.

A comet has a fixed time to complete a revolution around the sun.

As a comet comes nearer to the sun, due to the heat of the sun the vapour and the icy particles becomes gases and due to the radial pressure of energy od sun, we observe a tail of comet which has vapours mainly. SI the comet is visible easily.

Starting from rest, a 2-m-long pendulum swings from an angleof

Andrews [41]

Answer:

D.) 1m/s

Explanation:

Assume the initial angle of the swing is 12.8 degree with respect to the vertical. We can calculate the vertical distance from this initial point to the lowest point by first calculate the vertical distance from this point the the pivot point:

$L_1 = L*cos(12.8) = 2*0.975 = 1.95 m$

where L is the pendulum length

The vertical distance from the lowest point to the pivot point $L_2$ is the pendulum length 2m

this means the vertical distance from this initial point to the lowest point is simply:

$L_3 = L_2 - L_1 = 2 - 1.95 = 0.05 m$

As the pendulum travel (vertically) from the initial point to the bottom point, its potential energy is converted to kinetic energy:

$E_p = E_k$

$mgh = mv^2/2$

where m is the mass of the pendulum, g = 10 m/s2 is the constant gravitational acceleration, h = 0.05 is the vertical it travels, v is the pendulum velocity at the bottom, which we are trying to solve for.

The m on both sides of the equation cancel out

$v^2 = 2gh = 2*10*0.05 = 1$

$v = \sqrt{1} = 1 m/s$

so D is the correct answer
