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 skydiver jumps out of a plane. describe how gravitational potential energy changes as the skydiver falls. describe how the sky
Oliga [24]

gravitational potential is directly proportional to the height of the object relative to a reference line and is given as

PE = mgh                        

where m = mass of object , g = acceleration due to                    

gravity   and  h = height of the object above the reference line .


as the skydiver falls , its height above the ground decrease and hence the gravitational potential energy of the skydiver decrease.

as per conservation of energy , total energy of the skydiver must remain constant all the time . hence the decrease in potential energy appears as increase in kinetic energy by same amount to keep the total energy constant

KE + PE = Total energy

so as the skydiver falls , it gains speed and hence the kinetic energy of skydiver increase since kinetic energy is directly proportional to the square of the speed.


when the parachute opens, the skydiver experience force in upward which tries to balance the weight of the skydiver. hence the speed of the skydiver decrease until upward force becomes equal to the downward force. hence the kinetic energy decrease just after the parachute opens

A grandfather clock is "losing" time because its pendulum moves too slowly. Assume that the pendulum is a massive bob at the end
IgorC [24]

Answer:

d) shortening the string

Explanation:

Time period of a pendulum clock is dependent on two factors namely:length and acceleration due to gravity.

When a clock loses time, the time period of the pendulum clock increases.

This however can be corrected by decreasing the length of the pendulum.The time period of the pendulum clock is not dependent on the mass of the bob. The time period of the pendulum clock can be corrected only by changing the length of the pendulum string.

How do you determine: how many significant figures should you to round to when doing addition and subtraction?
rodikova [14]
The rule is always the same. Your final answer must have the same number of significant figures as the least accurate value in the calculation (one with the least number of significant figures) I hope this makes sense
