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>

Galina-37 [17]

Answer:The timing of the cricket's depends on the temperature of the box

so the answer should be

timing of the cricket's chirps

Explanation:Hi!

There are a few types of variables in these types of experiments. They are independent, dependent, and controlled.

The independent is the one changed by the scientist, or in this case, the temperature. The controlled is the things that remain constant through every case, and the dependent is what is being observed, seeing if it changes through the altercation of the independent variable.

In this case, what is being observed is the timing of a cricket's chirps, because it is being watched whether or not temperature affects it.

Therefore, your answer is the third choice, or the timing of the cricket's chirps.

Hope this helped!

Which statement correctly describes a feature of carrying capacity? A. can only change if the population experiences migration B
svet-max [94.6K]

The answer is; E


With environmental changes, the carrying capacity can either increase or decrease. It is important to note that the carrying capacity is the number of individuals of a species that a habitat can sustain indefinitely.  With favorable environmental conditions, the carrying capacity increases while unfavorable environmental conditions decrease the carrying capacity.

Four differences between viruses and bacteria ​
amid [387]

the main difference is that bacteria are free-living cells that can live inside or outside a body, while viruses are a non-living collection of molecules that need a host to survive.

Many bacteria help us: living in our gut digesting and helping absorption of our food, fixing nitrogen and decomposing organic materials in soil. Similarly, not all viruses are bad—we now know there are also beneficial viruses present in our gut, skin and blood that can kill undesirable bacteria and more dangerous viruses.
