5 0

Answer:

average for silk =141"

average for cotton =96"

average for nylon = 70"

if you desire a slower falling parachute to protect the body from damage,

silk is the best

if you desire a faster falling parachute to escape enemy bullets,

nylon is the best

Explanation:

Homework 1

Problem Solving

1. Kelvin and Xavier were doing an investigation on parachutes. One of them suggested that the type of material the parachute was made from had an effect on how long it took to reach the ground. Their results are given in

the table below.

(a) Calculate the average time in seconds for each material.

Time taken for parachute to reach the ground (seconds)

MATERIAL

1st TRY

2nd TRY

3rd TRY

AVERAGE

Sik

144

140  average of 3 = 141

139

Cotton

98

96   average of 3  = 96

94

Nylon

72

68    average of 3 = 70

How does an atom become charged?
inessss [21]

Answer:

An atom becomes charged when there is an unequal amount of positive and negative particles in the nucleus.

An atom gets a positive charge when there is an increase in protons or a decrease in electrons, such that there are more protons than electrons in the nucleus.

An atom gets a negative charge when there is an increase in electrons or a decrease in protons, such that there are more electrons than protons in the nucleus.

An atom can get a charge with a change of particles in the nucleus if that change results in an uneven number of protons and electrons.

Explanation:

Because protons are positively charged particles and electrons are negatively charged particles, a neutral atom has an equal amount of protons and electrons, so that the opposite charges of the particles cancel each other out.

However, if there is an unequal amount of protons or electrons in the nucleus, the charge of the particles will no longer be canceled out, and the atom as a whole will take on a positive or negative charge.

The Michaelis–Menten equation is an expression of the relationship between the initial velocity ????0 of an enzymatic reaction a
inna [77]

Answer:

(2) Half of the active sites are occupied by substrate.

Explanation:

The Michaelis–Menten equation is the rate equation for a one-substrate enzyme-catalyzed reaction.  It is an expression of the relationship between the initial velocity V₀ of an enzymatic reaction, the maximum velocity Vmax, and substrate concentration [S] which are all related through the Michaelis constant, Km.

Mathematically, the Michaelis–Menten equation is given as:

V₀ = Vmax[S]/Km + [S]

A special relationship exists between the Michaelis constant and substrate concentration when the enzyme is operating at half its maximum velocity, i.e. at V₀ = Vmax/2

substituting, Vmax/2 = V₀ in the Michaelis–Menten equation

Vmax/2 = Vmax[S]/Km + [S]

dividing through with Vmax

1/2 = [S]/Km + [S]

2[S] = Km + [S]

2[S] - [S] = Km

[S] = Km

Therefore, when the enzyme is operating at half its maximum velocity, i.e. when half of the active sites are occupied by substrate, [S] = Km
