A typical raindrop is much more massive than a mosquito and falling much faster than a mosquito flies. how does a mos quito surv

ive the impact? recent research has found that the collision of a falling raindrop with a mosquito is a perfectly inelastic collision. that is, the mosquito is swept up by the raindrop and ends up traveling along with the raindrop. once the relative speed between the mosquito and the raindrop is zero, the mosquito is able to detach itself from the drop and fly away.

Below are the questions:

A) A hovering mosquito is hit by a raindrop that is 45 times as massive and falling at 8.9m/s , a typical raindrop speed. How fast is the raindrop, with the attached mosquito, falling immediately afterward if the collision is perfectly inelastic? 

<span>B) Because a raindrop is "soft" and deformable, the collision duration is a relatively long 8.0 ms. What is the mosquito's average acceleration, in g's, during the collision? The peak acceleration is roughly twice the value you found, but the mosquito's rigid exoskeleton allows it to survive accelerations of this magnitude. In contrast, humans cannot survive an acceleration of more than about 10 g. 
</span>
Below are the answers:

a. <span>MU = (M + m)V; where M = 45 m, U = 8.9 m/s, find V = ?. V = (45/46)*8.9 = 8.7 m/s 
</span>
b. <span>F = m dV/dT = m 8.7/8E-3 = m 1.0875E+03; so G = 1.0875E+03/9.8 = 111 G's.</span>

Answer:

In the exercise-depression study by Blumenthal et al. (the SMILE study), which of the treatments had the best success when considering the percentage of individuals who had either recovered or at least partially recovered at a 6-month follow-up period? B. Exercise group.

Explanation:

Exercise has different depression-reducing effects. It enables the body to producte endorphins that reduce sensations of pain. Moreover, it changes the  neurotransmitter levels associated with depression (for example, norepinephrine) and it developes a sense of mastery and self-control through regular practice. <em>The SMILE study concludes that aerobic exercise on MDD remission extend the benefits</em> and it might be better than the benefits of antidepressant use.

Humans deplete the most resources when
Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

Resource depletion is the consumption of a resource faster than it can be replenished. Natural resources are commonly divided between renewable resources and non-renewable resources (see also mineral resource classification). Use of either of these forms of resources beyond their rate of replacement is considered to be resource depletion. The value of a resource is a direct result of its availability in nature and the cost of extracting the resource, the more a resource is depleted the more the value of the resource increases. There are several types of resource depletion, the most known being: Aquifer depletion, deforestation, mining for fossil fuels and minerals, pollution or contamination of resources, slash-and-burn agricultural practices, Soil erosion, and overconsumption, excessive or unnecessary use of resources.

Resource depletion is most commonly used in reference to farming, fishing, mining, water usage, and consumption of fossil fuels. Depletion of wildlife populations is called defaunation.

3. jack is using plastic beads to model water molecules in each state of water. how shoule she the beads to represent water mole
just olya [345]

Jack should arrange the beads close together and slide past each other to represent water molecules in a liquid.

<h3>How are the molecules of water arranged when water is in its liquid phase?</h3>
  • Each water molecule contains two atoms of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen, arranged such that one side of the molecule (nearest the hydrogens) is positively charged while the other side (nearest the oxygen) is negatively charged.
  • They’re arranged randomly, and in random motion.
  • In fact, they’re not even keeping the same hydrogen atoms, as they are constantly popping off and reforming on the nanosecond time scale.

mendel realized that the principles of probability could used to blank the results of genetic crosses.
Degger [83]
Hey my friend did this one on Answer.com 
<span>
Whenever Mendel performed a cross with pea plants, he carefully categorized and counted the many offspring. Every time Mendel repeated a particular cross, obtained similar results. For example, whenever Mendel crossed two plants that were hybrid for stem height (Tt), about three fourths of the resulting plants were tall and about one fourth were short. Mendel realized that the principles of probability could be used to explain the results of genetic crosses.</span>
