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

-Dominant- [34]
<h2>Availability of Plankton</h2>

Explanation:

  • The term plankton comes from the Greek derivative planktos, meaning wandering. Organisms in this group spend either part or all of their life in a drifting state, with no ability to swim against a current. Most have little or no ability to swim at all. Though some are larger, most planktonic creatures are microscopic and make up the bottom of the food chain in aquatic environments
  • Plankton can be divided into two categories: phytoplankton are those organisms that are plant-like, and zooplankton are organisms that are animal-like. Interestingly enough, many planktonic species are neither plant nor animal but are creatures that belong to the kingdom Protista
  • Zebra muscles are found in water bodies which attached to pipes and other surfaces of water supply to impliment the availability of plankton
