A kinesin that is transporting a secretory vesicle uses approximately 80 ATP molecules/s. Each ATP provides a kinesin molecule w

ith an energy of about 0.8 × 10-19 J. If the velocity of the kinesin is 800 nm/s, can you determine the force the kinesin is exerting, if you assume that all the ATP energy is used (100% efficiency)? If you can, find it and give your answer in newtons. If not, answer with 0.

Answer:

The force is $F = 8*10^{-12} \ N$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The rate at which ATP molecules are used is $R = 80 ATP/ s$

The energy provided by a single ATP is $E_{ATP} = 0.8 * 10^{-19} J$

The velocity of the kinesin is $v = 800 nm/s = 800*10^{-9} m/s$

The power provided by the ATP in one second is mathematically represented as

$P = E_{ATP} * R$

substituting values

$P = 80 * 0.8*10^{-19 }$

$P = 6.4 *10^{-18}J/s$

Now this power is mathematically represented as

$P = F * v$

Where F is the force the kinesin is exerting

Thus

$F = \frac{P}{v}$

substituting values

$F = \frac{6.4*0^{-18}}{800 *10^{-9}}$

$F = 8*10^{-12} \ N$

A magnetic field of 0.080 T is in the y-direction. The velocity of wire segment S has a magnitude of 78 m/s and components of 18

Annette [7]

Answer:

Part a)

Induced EMF when length vector is along Z direction is 0.72 V

Part b)

Induced EMF when length vector is along Y direction is ZERO

Explanation:

As we know that the motional EMF induced in the wire is given as

$E = (v\times B). L$

1)

As we know that

$v = 18\hat i + 24\hat j + 72\hat k$

$B = 0.080 \hat j$

$L = 0.50 \hat k$

now we have

$\vec v \times \vec B = 1.44\hat k - 5.76 \hat i$

so we have

$E = 1.44 (0.50) = 0.72 V$

2)

If the length vector is along Y direction then we have

$L = 0.50 \hat j$

so again we have

$\vec v \times \vec B = 1.44\hat k - 5.76 \hat i$

so we have

EMF = 0

A figure skater rotating at 5.00 rad/s with arms extended has a moment of inertia of 2.25 kgÂ·m2. If the arms are pulled in so t

Serggg [28]

a) 6.25 rad/s

The law of conservation of angular momentum states that the angular momentum must be conserved.

The angular momentum is given by:

$L=I\omega$

where

I is the moment of inertia

$\omega$ is the angular speed

Since the angular momentum must be conserved, we can write

$L_1 = L_2\\I_1 \omega_1 = I_2 \omega_2$

where we have

$I_1 = 2.25 kg m^2$ is the initial moment of inertia

$\omega_1 = 5.00 rad/s$ is the initial angular speed

$I_2 = 2.25 kg m^2$ is the final moment of inertia

$\omega_2$ is the final angular speed

Solving for $\omega_2$ , we find

$\omega_2 = \frac{I_1 \omega_1}{I_2}=\frac{(2.25 kg m^2)(5.00 rad/s)}{1.80 kg m^2}=6.25 rad/s$

b) 28.1 J and 35.2 J

The rotational kinetic energy is given by

$K=\frac{1}{2}I\omega^2$

where

I is the moment of inertia

$\omega$ is the angular speed

Applying the formula, we have:

- Initial kinetic energy:

$K=\frac{1}{2}(2.25 kg m^2)(5.00 rad/s)^2=28.1 J$

- Final kinetic energy:

$K=\frac{1}{2}(1.80 kg m^2)(6.25 rad/s)^2=35.2 J$

According to the work-energy theorem, if work is done on an object, its potential and/or kinetic energy changes. Consider a car

Leni [432]

Answer:

The force of the car engine.

Explanation:

The work- energy theorem states that the work done on an object is equal to the change in its kinetic energy. Its expression is given by :

$W=\dfrac{1}{2}m(v^2-u^2)$

Also, W = F.d

$Fd=\dfrac{1}{2}m(v^2-u^2)$

Where

F is the force applied by the engine of car

d is the displacement

m is the mass of an object

u is the initial speed

v is the final speed

So, the force of the car engine increased the car’s kinetic energy. Hence, this is the required solution.
