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>

What can you say about the environments of these widely seperated layers
Alika [10]

Answer:

This means that the two separate rocks were once part of one piece of rock. These layers got separated most probably by continental drift as a result of tectonic plate movements. An example of such a fossil is the Mesosaurus, a freshwater crocodile-like reptile, that is found in Southern Africa and Eastern South America continents- that means they were once one land mass.

The environment in these two separate layers would most likely be different. As the layers drift apart from each other , they drift across latitudes that are determinants of climate in a region. Therefore, even the organisms in these two rock layers will evolve differently (even though they will share a common ancestor) in adaptation to respective environments – this is called allopatric speciation.

4. Sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide are environmental factors that affect the rate of photosynthesis?
Anton [14]

Answer:1.Yes plants take in carbon dioxide for "air" they need water to keep hydrated sunlight helps it make food.

2.Then the entire process of photosynthesis would crash. If no carbon dioxide the plant would not be able to breath and die, No water and it dies of thrist and no sunlight and the plant shivers and dies.

A new kind of tulip is produced that develops only purple or pink flowers. Assume that flower color is controlled by a single-ge
g100num [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

the purple allele (C) is dominant to the pink allele (c).

The frequency of C represents p while that of c represent q. Using the formula p+q= 1

The proportion of pink flower is 153/1000 = 0.153. This is also the frequency of the genotype cc (q^2).

Thud to find q which is the frequency of the c allele,

q = √0.153

q = 0.3912

From the formula p +q = 1 we can find p p = 1 - 0.3912

p which is the frequency of the C allele

p = 0.6088.

B. the proportion of all purple flowering plants that are heterozygotes and homozygotes is 847 / 1000 = 0.847
