Textbook Question
Chapter 10, Problem 47P
Full-circle rotation is common in mechanical systems, but less evident in biology. Yet many single-celled organisms are propelled by spinning, tail-like flagella. The flagellum of the bacterium E. coli spins at some 600 rad/s, propelling the bacterium at speeds around 25 μm/s. How many revolutions does E. coli’s flagellum make as the bacterium crosses a microscope’s field of view, which is 150-μm wide.

A Ferris wheel has a radius of 30 m and its centre is 32 m above the
ground. It rotates once every 48 s. Ethan gets on the Feris wheel at the
lowest point and then the wheel starts to rotate. The amount of time it
takes Ethan to reach 38 m above the ground for the first time, to the
nearest tenth of a second, is
