Question

among the smallest forces biophysicist measure result from motor proteins that love molecules within cells. the protein kinesin exerts a force of 3.0 pN (3.0 x 10^(-12)N). what magnitude of acceleration could it give a molecular complex with mass 1.5 X 10^ (-18) kg? (Drag forces dominate within the cell, so accelerations last only briefly before terminal speed is reached.) among the smallest forces biophysicist measure result from motor proteins that love molecules within cells. the protein kinesin exerts a force of 3.0 pN (3.0 x 10^(-12)N). what magnitude of acceleration could it give a molecular complex with mass 1.5 X 10^ (-18) kg?

Explanation / Answer

from newtons second law

net force acting on a body F = mass*acceleration

acceleration a = F/m

a = 3*10^-12/(1.5*10^-18)

acceleration a = 2*10^6 ms-2 <<<-----------ANSWER
