An E. coli bacterium can be modeled as a \(0.50\text{-}\mu\text{m}\)-diameter sphere that has the density of water. Rotating flagella propel a bacterium through \(40^\circ\text{C}\) water with a force of \(65\text{ fN}\), where \(1\text{ fN} = 1\text{ femtonewton} = 10^{-15}\text{ N}\). What is the bacterium's speed in \(\mu\text{m/s}\)?
