The length of the adult mosquito is typically between 3.0 mm and 6.0 mm. The smallest known mosquitoes are around 2.5 mm, and th

e largest around 19 mm. Mosquitoes typically have a mass between 3.0 and 5.0 mg. All mosquitoes have slender bodies with three segments: a head, a thorax and an abdomen. What is the length of the largest known mosquito in inches?

0.74in

Explanation:

Given parameters:

length range of adult mosquito = 3.0 - 6.0mm

Smallest mosquito = 2.5mm

Largest mosquito = 19mm

Average mass range = 3.0 - 5.0mg

Unknown:

Length of largest known mosquito in inches = ?

Solution;

The length is the longest dimension. It is how long a body is.

The problem here is converting from mm to inches;

The length of the longest mosquito which is the largest is 19mm

19mm to inches;

1mm = 0.039inches

19mm = 19mm x $\frac{0.039in}{1mm}$ = 0.74in

how fast will and in what direction will a 20kg object accelerate if one force pushes at a 30 degree angle and another pushes at

Answer:

$|a|=2.83\ m/s^2$

$\theta=75^o$

Explanation:

<u>Net Force And Acceleration </u>

The Newton's second law relates the net force applied on an object of mass m and the acceleration it aquires by

$\vec F_n=m\vec a$

The net force is the vector sum of all forces. In this problem, we are not given the magnitude of each force, only their angles. For the sake of solving the problem and giving a good guide on how to proceed with similar problems, we'll assume both forces have equal magnitudes of F=40 N

The components of the first force are

$\vec F_1=$

$\vec F_1=\ N$

The components of the second force are

$\vec F_2=$

$\vec F_2=\ N$

The net force is

$\vec F_n=$

$\vec F_n=\ N$

The magnitude of the net force is

$|F_n|=\sqrt{14.64^2+54.64^2}$

$|F_n|=\sqrt{3200}=56.57\ N$

The acceleration has a magnitude of

$\displaystyle |a|=\frac{|F_n|}{m}$

$\displaystyle |a|=\frac{56.57}{20}$

$|a|=2.83\ m/s^2$

The direction of the acceleration is the same as the net force:

$\displaystyle tan\theta=\frac{54.64}{14.64}$

$\theta=75^o$

The density of mobile electrons in copper metal is 8.4 1028 m-3. Suppose that i = 4.6 1018 electrons/s are drifting through a co

Vesna [10]

Answer:

The time is 106.7 minute.

Explanation:

Given that,

Density $= 8.4\times10^{28}\ m^3$

Current $i = 4.6\times10^{18}\ electron/s$

Diameter of wire = 1.2 mm

Length = 31 cm

We need to calculate the drift velocity

Using formula of drift velocity

$v_{d}=\dfrac{I}{neA}$

$v_{d}=\dfrac{Ne}{tne\times\pi r^2}$

Put the value into the formula

$v_{d}=\dfrac{4.6\times10^{18}}{8.4\times10^{28}\times\pi\times(0.6\times10^{-3})^2}$

$v_{d}=4.842\times10^{-5}\ m/s$

We need to calculate the time

Using formula for time

$v_{d}=\dfrac{l}{t}$

$t=\dfrac{l}{v_{d}}$

Where, l = length

$v_{d}$ = drift velocity

Put the value into the formula

$t=\dfrac{31\times10^{-2}}{4.842\times10^{-5}}$

$t=6402.31\ sec$

$t=106.7\ minute$

Hence, The time is 106.7 minute.
