An E. coli bacterium can be modeled as a 0.50-um-diameter sphere that has the density of water. Rotating flagella propel a bacterium through 40° C water with a force of 75 IN, where i 1 fN=1 femtonewton = 10-15 N. What is the bacterium's speed in um/s? Express your answer in micrometers per second.
