The bodies of arthropods are supported, not by internal bones, but by a hardened exoskeleton<span> made of </span>chitin<span>, a substance produced by many non-arthropods as well. In arthropods, the nonliving exoskeleton is like a form-fitting suit of armor. It is produced by the "skin" and then hardens into a protective outer-covering.</span>

A hovering mosquito is hit by a raindrop that is 50 times as massive and falling at 8.1 m/s , a typical raindrop speed. how fast
Airida [17]

here we will use the momentum conservation

initial total momentum = final total momentum

P_i = P_f

m_1v_{1i} + m_2v_{2i} = m_1v_{1f} + m_2v_{2f}

now plug in all data here

m(0) + 50m(8.1) = mv + 50mv

405 = 51 v

v = 7.94 m/s

so the final speed will be 7.94 m/s

Answer:

2 m/s^2

Explanation:

a = v^2/r

a = (10m/s)^2 / 50m

a = 2 m/s^2

When a gun is fired at the shooting range, the gun recoils (moves backward). Explain this using the law of conservation of momen
12345 [234]
The total momentum is unchanged according to the law of conservation of momentum. When the gun is fired, the bullet gains a high velocity forward (positive velocity), and that velocity multiplied by its mass is the momentum the bullet gains. Therefore, the gun must gain a momentum backwards to cancel out that momentum forward, so the gun recoils back with a negative velocity.

How does 'g' vary from place to place?​
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Explanation:

The acceleration g varies by about 1/2 of 1 percent with position on Earth's surface, from about 9.78 metres per second per second at the Equator to approximately 9.83 metres per second per second at the poles.

Skid Marx set the world record for acceleration as he went from zero to 10 m/s in 3 seconds. How far did he travel in that time?
iren [92.7K]

Answer:

12000 miles per hour

Explanation:

If skid Marx went from zero to 10 miles in 3 seconds the his speed would have been 12000 miles per hour.
