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.

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>

A client has been admitted to the emergency department. the client's family tells the nurse that the client has suddenly become
Phoenix [80]
The correct answer is delirium.
The Confusion Assessment Method (CAM) is a psychiatric tool used to assess and identify delirium in patients. According to the first observations and the patient's responses to CAM, the nurse can conclude that the patient exhibits signs of delirium. This is because he is unable to concentrate and organize his thinking, he is inattentive, he is lethargic and all these behaviours are sudden and acute. These symptoms cannot be associated with dementia, as dementia develops gradually and doesn't affect attention and consciousness. Also, the symptoms don't point to depression since depressive patients are focused and attentive. Finally, the nurse cannot conclude that the patient is dehydrated because further tests need to be conducted to assess hydration.

What would happen if another substance competed for the enzyme active site?
Lelu [443]
That's what is called competitive enzymatic regulation. If there are more of that substance than the enzyme substrate, then most of the enzyme, if not all depending on the substance's concentration, will be inhibited on its action. If there are more substrate then the competitive substance, the expected reaction for that enzyme will happen at an expected rate. If the ratio substrate:substance is 1:1 then the reaction enzyme-substrate is very slowed down.
