First convert the speed of mosquito to m/s:

So the mosquito is flying at (2,400/3,600) m/s, or ⅔ m/s. 

<span>

Since you are moving at 2m/s, so this makes the closing velocity between you and the mosquito to be 2⅔ m/s. </span>

Therefore the mosquito will hit your sunglasses at:<span>

35 m / (2⅔ m/s) = 13⅛ seconds. 

2.0 m/s * 13⅛ s = 26¼ m from your initial position. 

<span>⅔ m/s * 13⅛ s = 8¾ m from the mosquito's initial position. </span></span>

olga_2 [115]

The correct answer is A. Acid rain forms from human activities and lowers the pH of rainwater below 7

Explanation:

The term "acid rain" is used to refer to rainwater with a low pH or a high acidity, this includes rainwater with a pH below 7 (solutions with a pH under 7 are acidic). In terms of formation, acid rain is mainly the result of human activities such as factories or cars that release pollutants into the atmosphere including nitric and sulfuric acids and these alter the natural pH of rain and makes it more acidic. Additionally, acid rain has negative consequences such as the death of fishes and other organisms in lakes, rivers, etc. because the acidity is toxic to many organisms. Thus, acid rain is the result of human activities and it lowers the pH of rain (Option A).

AnnyKZ [126]
The statement that can be used to answer this  question is:

"If the cylinder is brought higher then, its temperature when brought down becomes higher because a greater amount of potential energy is converted to thermal energy."

The potential energy is converted to thermal energy when the object is released the velocity becomes higher because of the acceleration due to gravity.
