Answer to Question #151381 in Classical Mechanics for Isurini Sirisena

Question

How tiny bacteria move is of interest in nanotechnology.
Mycobacteria move by ejecting slime from nozzles in
their bodies.
Explain the physics principles behind this form of propulsion.

Answer 1

Answer

When particles or any body has size below $10^{-9}m$ then these are considered as in nanotechnology.

Therefore tiny bacteria move is of interest in nanotechnology.

Mycobacteria move by ejecting slime from nozzles in Their bodies because of size of Mycobacteria is considered

nanotechnology. These are intrinsic properties of nanotechnology.
