The bacterium Escherichia coli (or E. coli) is a single-celled organism that lives in the gut of healthy humans and animals. When grown in a uniform medium rich in salts and amino acids, these bacteria swim along zig-zag paths at a constant speed of 20 μm/s. Figure shows the trajectory of an E. coli as it moves from point A to point E. Each segment of the motion can be identified by two letters, such as segment BC.
a. For each of the four segments in the bacterium’s trajectory, calculate the x- and y-components of its displacement and of its velocity.b. Calculate both the total distance traveled and the magnitude of the net displacement for the entire motion.c. What are the magnitude and the direction of the bacterium’s average velocity for the entire trip?
A lead ball is dropped into a lake from a diving board 5.0 m above the water. After entering the water, it sinks to the bottom with a constant velocity equal to the velocity with which it hit the water. The ball reaches the bottom 3.0 safter it is released. How deep is the lake?
Visual Representation• Draw a sketch showing important points in the motion• Establish a coordinate system and define symbols• Draw a motion diagram• List knowns and desired unknowns
Mathematical Representation• Identify and write down the relevant equation(s), using the symbols defined in your sketch• Solve equation(s) for the desired unknown• Substitute in the known values, including units, and calculate unknown value• Check units and assess if your answer is reasonable
