Some bacteria are propelled by motors that spin hair-like flagella. A typical bacterial motor turning at a constant angular velo

city has a radius of 1.3 x10-8m, and a tangential speed at the rim of 2.1 x10-5 m/s. (a) What is the angular speed (the magnitude of the angular velocity) of this bacterial motor? (b) How long does it take the motor to make one revolution?

Answer :

(a) The angular speed of this bacterial motor is 1.6\times 10^3s^{-1}

(b) The time taken by the motor to make one revolution is 3.9\times 10^{-3}s

Explanation :

(a) To determine the angular speed of this bacterial motor.

Angular speed : It is defined as the rate at which an object changes its angle.

Formula used :

\omega=\frac{v}{r}

where,

\omega = angular speed

v = tangential speed = 2.1\times 10^{-5}m/s

r = radius = 1.3\times 10^{-8}m

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

\omega=\frac{2.1\times 10^{-5}m/s}{1.3\times 10^{-8}m}

\omega=1.6\times 10^3s^{-1}

Thus, the angular speed of this bacterial motor is 1.6\times 10^3s^{-1}

(b) to determine the time taken by the motor to make one revolution.

Formula used :

T=\frac{2\pi}{\omega}

where,

T = time

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get:

T=\frac{2\times 3.14}{1.6\times 10^3s^{-1}}

T=3.9\times 10^{-3}s

Thus, the time taken by the motor to make one revolution is 3.9\times 10^{-3}s

What process is being used to break down macromoleucles? What happenes to the water during that process?
loris [4]
The process which is the breaking down of macromolecules is called Hydrolysis (the breaking of a bond in a molecule using water) This means that polymers are broken down into monomers. This literally means ‘Split water’ and a reaction between an ion and the water molecule is used during used during the breakdown.

<span>If it loses that 1 electron (0 electrons, 1 proton, 1 neutron) it become an ion that is positively charge because it has more protons than electrons. [Ignore the neutrons] </span>

<span>If it gains an electron (2 electrons, 1 proton, 1 neutron) it becomes an ion that is negatively charge because it has more electrons than protons </span>

<span>A molecule - when 2 or more "different" elements combine or when 2 or more of the "same" elements combine </span>

<span>3 protons, 3 electrons <----- neutral </span>

<span>5 protons 5 electrons <----- neutral </span>

<span>5 protons, 8 electrons <--- negative ion [more electrons than protons] </span>
