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>

The appropriate order for the basic steps of protein synthesis are: A. The elongation reaction transfers the peptide chain from
Hoochie [10]

Answer:

The appropriate order for the basic steps of protein synthesis are listed below

Explanation:

First step  D The large ribosomal subunit joins the initiation complex preparing it for elongation stage.

Second step C Binding of mRNA by small Sub unit followed by association of a particular initiator aminoacyl tRNA that recognizes the first codon.

Third step   B The P site is occupied by peptidyl tRNA carrying the growing polypeptide chain.

Fourth step A The elongation reaction transfers the peptide chain from the peptidyl  tRNA in the p site to the aminoacyl tRNA in the A site.

Fifth step   E The new longer Peptidyl tRNA moves from A site into the p site as the ribosome moves one codon further along the mRNA.

EastWind [94]

Answer/Explanation:

Only the soft tissue is preserved. Normally the hard tissues are preserved(bones). But since the bones decomposed and was later filled with sediment, only the soft tissue was actually left by the animal.
