Question

2.) We are on the space station, so there is no effective gravity.  In a small fluid experiment, a small spherical bacteria of 1 mm radius is moving at a speed of +1.50 mm/second horizontally in the fluid.  The bacteria has a density of 1500. kg/m^3. 

(3a) Draw a free-body diagram, labeling all forces and show the likely direction of Fnet

(3b) What is the mass of the bacteria?

(3c) If the value of the viscosity is 1.25 kg/m/s, then what is the net acceleration experienced by the bacteria at that moment.
