Saliva, produced by glands in the mouth, plays an important role in the digestion of food. Saliva contains a chemical, called am

ylase, that breaks down starch in the food we eat. A scientist conducts an experiment to investigate at which temperatures amylase works the best. He hypothesizes that the reaction will occur fastest if the amylase reaction is conducted near the normal human body temperature of 37ºC (degrees Celsius). In order to test his hypothesis, the scientist measures the reaction rate, which is how fast the amylase breaks down the starch at six different temperatures. The reaction rate is rated on a scale of 0 to 10, with 0 meaning no reaction and 10 meaning the fastest reaction. The results are recorded in the data table.

Answer:

The digestive functions of saliva include moistening food, and helping to create a food bolus, so it can be swallowed easily. Saliva contains the enzyme amylase that breaks some starches down into maltose and dextrin. Thus, digestion of food occurs within the mouth, even before food reaches the stomach.

In a simplified model of a hydrogen atom, the electron moves around the proton nucleus in a circular orbit of radius 0.53 × x10−
sergiy2304 [10]

the force between the electron and the proton.
a) Use F = k * q1 * q2 / d² 
where k = 8.99e9 N·m²/C² 
and q1 = -1.602e-19 C (electron) 
and q2 = 1.602e-19 C (proton) 
and d = distance between point charges = 0.53e-10 m 
The negative result indicates "attraction". 

the radial acceleration of the electron. 
b) Here, just use F = ma 
where F was found above, and 
m = mass of electron = 9.11e-31kg, if memory serves 
a = radial acceleration 

the speed of the electron. 
c) Now use a = v² / r 
where a was found above 
and r was given 

<span> the period of the circular motion.</span>
d) period T = 2π / ω = 2πr / v 
where v was found above 
and r was given

Which phase change results with increased kinetic energy?
weqwewe [10]

An increase in kinetic energy corresponds to an increase in temperature. Out of boiling, condensation, freezing, and precipitation, boiling is the only one that indicates an increase in temperature.
