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>

For the potential , determine the number of bound states?A)6 b)4 c) 3 d) 1
s2008m [1.1K]

Do you see that blank, open space after the word "potential ..." ?

There's supposed to be a number there that actually tells us the value of the potential.  Without that number ... and a lot more description of the whole scenario here ... there's no possible answer to the question.

A scientist kept 1,000 grams of a radioactive material in a container. After 66 days, he observed that 125 grams of the radioact
bixtya [17]
The sample appears to have gone through 3 half-lives
1st half life: 1000 to 500 g
2nd half life: 500 to 250 g
3rd half life: 250 to 125 g
The duration of a half-life, therefore, can be inferred to be 66 ÷ (3) = 22 days. 

After a 4th half life, there will be 125÷2= 62.5 g. 
At this point, an additional 22 days will have passed, for a total of 88 days.
Answer is C.
