A certain signal molecule S in heart tissue is degraded by two different biochemical pathways: when only Path 1 is active, the h

alf-life of S is 3.9 s. When only Path 2 is active, the half-life of S is 104. s. Calculate the half-life of S when both pathways are active.

Answer:

Half life of S = 3.76secs

Explanation:

The concept of half life in radioactivity is applied. Half life is the time taken for a radioactive material to decay to half of its initial size.

For part 1 - How much signal will be degraded in 1secs = 1/3.9 = 0.2564

for part 2 - How much signal will be degraded in 1secs = 1/104 = 0.009615

Simply say = 1/3.9 + 1/104 = 0.266015

So both part 1 and part 2 took 1/0.266015 = 3.76secs is the half life of S when both pathways are active

Rider is towed at a constant speed means there no net force acting on the rider.

hence taking all the horizontal force and vertical force in consideration.

net horizontal  force:

F cos 30° - T cos 19° = 0

F cos 30° = 2300 × cos 19°

F = 2511.12 N

net vertical force:

F sin 30° - T sin 19°- W = 0

W = F sin 30° - T sin 19°

W =  2511.12 sin 30° - 2300 sin 19°

W = 506.75 N

A cylindrical wire has a resistance R and resistivity ρ. If its length and diameter are BOTH cut in half, what will be its resis
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

The resistance will be 2×R

Explanation:

We note that the resistivity of a cylindrical wire is given by the following relation;

\rho = \frac{RA}{L}

Where:

ρ = Resistivity of the wire

R = The wire resistance

A = Cross sectional area of the wire = π·D²/4

L = Length  of the wire

Rearranging, we have;

R= \frac{\rho L}{A}

If the length and the diameter are both cut in half, we have;

L₂ = L/2

A₂ =π·D₂²/4 = \pi \cdot \left (\frac{D}{2}   \right )^{2} \times \frac{1}{4}  = \pi \cdot \frac{D^{2}}{16} = A/4

Therefore, the new resistance, R₂ can be expressed as follows;

R_2= \frac{\rho \frac{L}{2} }{\frac{A}{4} } = \rho \frac{L}{2} \times \frac{4}{A} = 2 \times  \frac{\rho L}{A}

Hence, the new resistance R₂ =  2×R, that is the resistance will be doubled.

A 26 cm object is 18 cm in front of a plane mirror. A ray of light strikes the object and is reflected off the mirror at a 42-de
matrenka [14]

Answer:

42 degrees, virtual image, same size as the object (26 cm)

Explanation:

The law of reflection states that:

- When a ray of light is incident on a flat surface (such as the plane mirror), the angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence

So, since in this case the angle of incidence is 42 degrees, the angle of reflection is also 42 degrees.

Moreover, the image formed by a plane mirror is always:

- Virtual (on the same side as the object)

- The same size as the object

So in this case, since the object's size is 26 cm, the image's size is also 26 cm.
