- question about how the author got the equation in the red box from, as it makes no sensearrow_forwardNo Chatgpt please will upvote harrow_forwardHelicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a helically-shaped bacterium that is usually found in the stomach. It burrows through the gastric mucous lining to establish an infection in the stomach's epithelial cells (see photo). Approximately 90% of the people infected with H. pylori will never experience symptoms. Others may develop peptic ulcers and show symptoms of chronic gastritis. The method of motility of H. pylori is a prokaryotic flagellum attached to the back of the bacterium that rigidly rotates like a propeller on a ship. The flagellum is composed of proteins and is approximately 40.0 nm in diameter and can reach rotation speeds as high as 1.50 x 103 rpm. If the speed of the bacterium is 10.0 μm/s, how far has it moved in the time it takes the flagellum to rotate through an angular displacement of 5.00 * 10² rad?
