Question:- For the segment AB in the bacterium’s trajectory, calculate the x component of its velocity (answer should be in micrometers

Answer:

For the segment AB in the bacterium’s trajectory, calculate the x component of its velocity (answer should be in micrometers

E =172.932 μm

Step-by-step answer:

According to Pythagoras’ hypothesis, when E is found at position (-40, -20), it is moved away from its point of origin by a distance of (402 + 202) = 44.721 m.

Total journey distance is AB + BC + CD + DE.

Once more applying Pythagoras’ theorem, AB = (100 + 2500) = 50.9902 m BC = 10 m

CD = √(100 + 1600) = 41.231 μm

DE = √(2500 + 2500) = 70.7107 um

E’s overall displacement is 172.932 m.
