One of the great upcoming sports in the Olympics is the sport of curling. Write a brief essay on the uses of momentum collisions

Usimov [2.4K]

The Olympic sport of curling is one that is practically designed to show Physics in motion. Curling is a sport in which two teams alternate sliding smoothed stone pucks down an ice rink court with the intent to seat their stone closest to the center of the target (called the house). Each team has eight stones, meaning that the team that goes second has the (could be) massive advantage of sending the last stone.
The mass of the stone is important in that the more massive a stone (m) and the speed at which it travels (v) dictates it's momentum (momentum=mxv). As the curling stone slides down the ice (which is relatively frictionless unless acted upon by other players or objects) and having inertia, continues in it's straight course (again, unless acted upon by outside forces). If the stone hits another stone, it transfers some of its momentum in an elastic collision to that stone and the original stone is deflected in a calculable manner.
Collisions are used in the game to either clear opponent's stones from the house or out of their defensive positions, or to make adjustments to one's stones present in the house, all based on the momentum of the moving stone, and its transference.

a solution of unknown molecular substance is prepared by dissolving 0.50g of the unknown in 8.0g of benzene. the solution freeze

spayn [35]

Answer:

THE MOLAR MASS OF THE UNKNOWN MOLECULAR SUBSTANCE IS 200 G/MOL.

Explanation:

Mass of the unknown substance = 0.50 g

Freezing point of the solution = 3.9 °C

Freezing point of pure benzene = 5.5 °C

Freezing point dissociation constant Kf = 5.12°C/m

First, calculate the temperature difference between the freezing point of pure benzene and the final solution freezing point.

Change in temperature = 5.5 -3.9 = 1.6 °C

Next is to calculate the number of moles or molarity of the compound that dissolved.

Using the formula:

Δt = i Kf m

Assume i = 1

So,

1.6 °C = 1 * 5.12 * x/ 0.005 kg of benzene

x = 1.6 * 0.008 / 5.12

x = 0.0128 / 5.12

x = 0.0025 moles.

Next is to calculate the molar mass using the formula, molarity = mass / molar mass

Molar mass = mass / molarity

Molar mass = 0.50 g /0.0025

Molar mass = 200 g/mol

Hence, the molar mass of the unknown compound is 200 g/mol

enzyme‑catalyzed, single‑substrate reaction E + S − ⇀ ↽ − ES ⟶ E + P . The model can be more readily understood when comparing t

laila [671]

Complete Question

The complete question is shown on the first uploaded image

Answer:

[S]<<KM | [S]=KM | [S]>>KM | Not true

____________ | Half of the active | Reaction rate is | Increasing

$[E_{free}]$ is about | sites are filled of | independent of | $[E_{Total}]$ will

equal to $[E_{total}]$ . | | [S] | lower KM

_____________________________________________|____________

[ES] is much | | Almost all active

lower than | | sites are filled

$[E_{free}]$ | |

Explanation:

Generally the combined enzyme $[ES]$ is mathematically represented as

$[ES] = \frac{[E_{total}][S]}{K_M + [S]}----(1)$

for Michaelis-Menten equation

Where $[S]$ is the substrate concentration and $K_M$ is the Michaelis constant

Considering the statement $[S] < < K_M$

Looking at the equation $[S]$ is denominator so it can be ignored(it is far too small compared to $K_M$ ) hence the above equation becomes

$[ES] = \frac{[E_{total}][S]}{K_M}$

Since $[S]$ is less than $K_M$ it means that $\frac{[S]}{K_M} < < 1$

so it means that $[ES] < < [E_{total}]$

What this means is that the number of combined enzymes $[ES]$ i.e the number of occupied site is very small compared to the the total sites $[E_{total}]$ i.e the total enzymes concentration which means that the free sites [ $E_{free}]$ i.e the concentration of free enzymes is almost equal to $[E_{total}]$

Considering the second statement

$[S] = K_M$

So this means that equation one would now become

$[ES] = \frac{[E_{total}][S]}{2[S]} = \frac{[E_{total}]}{2}$

So this means that half of the active sites that is the total enzyme concentration are filled with S

Considering the Third Statement

$[S] >>K_M$

In this case the $K_M$ in the denominator of equation 1 would be neglected and the equation becomes

$[ES] = \frac{[E_{total}] [S]}{[S]} = [E_{total}]$

This means that almost all the sites are occupied with substrate

The rate of this reaction is mathematically defined as

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

Where v is the rate of the reaction(also know as the velocity of the reaction at a given time t) and $V_{max}$ is he maximum velocity of the reaction

In this case also the $K_M$ at the denominator would be neglected as a result of the statement hence the equation becomes

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

So it means that the reaction does not depend on the concentration of substrate [S]

For the final statement(Not True ) it would match with condition that states that increasing $[E_{total}]$ will lower $K_M$

This is because $K_M$ does not depend on enzyme concentration it is a property of a enzyme

Calculate the mass in grams of benzophenone required to make a solution of 2.5 mmoles

kirill115 [55]

Answer:

0.46 grams (C₆H₅)₂CO

Explanation:

To find the mass of benzophenone ((C₆H₅)₂CO), you need to (1) convert mmoles to moles and then (2) convert moles to grams (via molar mass). It is important to arrange the conversions/ratios in a way that allows for the cancellation of units. The final answer should have 2 sig figs to match the sig figs of the given value (2.5 mmoles).

Molar Mass ((C₆H₅)₂CO): 13(12.011 g/mol) + 10(1.008 g/mol) + 15.998 g/mol

Molar Mass ((C₆H₅)₂CO): 182.221 g/mol

2.5 mmoles (C₆H₅)₂CO 1 mole 182.221 g
----------------------------------- x ------------------------ x ------------------- =
1,000 mmoles 1 mole

= 0.46 grams (C₆H₅)₂CO
