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

alekssr [168]

Answer:

The correct answer will be- homologous structures

Explanation:

The history of how life has survived on the earth can be studied through a field of biology called evolutionary biology.

Studying the anatomical features of the organisms and the collected specimens (fossils) shows that some organisms posses similar anatomical structures which could be performing different functions.

The structures in organisms which are similar in their structure are thought to have derived from a common ancestor and are known as "homologous structures. "

Thus, homologous structures are the correct answer.
