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 factor has the greatest effect on species diversity
umka2103 [35]
I believe the correct answer is natural selection.

Natural competition and the fight for “survival of the fittest” is what pushes diversity the most.

Explain why there are so few meteor collisions with Earth. please help and do not take advantage of the points :( this happened
Serggg [28]

Answer:

short answer: The Earths atmosphere

Explanation:

The Earth's atmosphere protects us from the multitude of small debris, the size of grains of sand or pebbles, thousands of which pelt our planet every day. So the probability of a major collision is quite small

hope this helps:)

Describe the structure and function of the main components of a leaf<br><br>​
Reil [10]

Answer: HOPE IT HELPS MARK AS BRAINLIEST . BYE

Explanation:

Leaf, in botany, any usually flattened green outgrowth from the stem of a vascular plant. As the primary sites of photosynthesis, leaves manufacture food for plants, which in turn ultimately nourish and sustain all land animals. Botanically, leaves are an integral part of the stem system, and they are initiated in the apical bud (growing tip of a stem) along with the tissues of the stem itself. Certain organs that are superficially very different from the usual green leaf are formed in the same manner and are actually modified leaves; among these are the sharp spines of cacti, the needles of pines and other conifers, and the scales of an asparagus stalk or a lily bulb.
