What explains the dramatically different magnitudes of accelerations that result when a mosquito collides head on with a moving

Evgen [1.6K]2 years ago

Answer:

Mass of the vehicle and small bug.

Explanation:

  • By Newton's third law, force on bug and vehicle will be same when they collide with each other irrespective of their masses.
  • But according to Newton's second law, force is mass times acceleration. Since the force on each mass is same, the smaller mass will accelerate more and the heavier mass will accelerate less for the same force.
  • Therefore the acceleration of bug will be very greater than vehicle as the mass of the bug is very small as compared to vehicle.

Define and explain the Police Power
Allushta [10]

Answer:

Police powers are the fundamental ability of a government to enact laws to coerce its citizenry for the public good, although the term eludes an exact definition. The term does not directly relate to the common connotation of police as officers charged with maintaining public order, but rather to broad governmental regulatory power. Berman v. Parker, a 1954 U.S. Supreme Court case, stated that “public safety, public health, morality, peace and quiet, law and order. . . are some of the more conspicuous examples of the traditional application of the police power”; while recognizing that “an attempt to define police powers reach or trace its outer limits is fruitless.”

Excellent human jumpers can leap straight up to a height of
Firlakuza [10]

For a human jumper to reach a height of 110 cm, the person will need to leave the ground at a speed of 4.65 m/s.  

We can calculate the initial speed to reach 110 cm of height with the following equation:

v_{f}^{2} = v_{i}^{2} - 2gh

Where:

v_{f}: is the final speed = 0 (at the maximum height of 110 cm)

v_{i}: is the initial speed =?

g: is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

h: is the height = 110 cm = 1.10 m

Hence, the <u>initial velocity</u> is:

v_{i} = \sqrt{v_{f}^{2} + 2gh} = \sqrt{2*9.81 m/s^{2}*1.10 m} = 4.65 m/s

Therefore, the initial speed that the person must have to reach 110 cm is 4.65 m/s.
