The first law of motion applies to what?

1 answer:

3 0

First law of motion- sometimes referred to as the law of inertia. An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.

A hovering mosquito is hit by a raindrop that is 50 times as massive and falling at 8.4 m/s, a typical raindrop speed. How fast

kenny6666 [7]

The final velocity after the collision is 8.2 m/s

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by using the law of conservation of momentum: in fact, if we consider the system to be isolated (=no external unbalanced forces), the total momentum of the raindrop+mosquito must be conserved before and after the collision.

If the collision is perfectly inelastic, moreover, the raindrop and the mosquito stick together and travel at the same velocity v after the collision.

Mathematically:

$p_i = p_f\\m_1 u_1 + m_2 u_2 = (m_1+m_2)v$

where:

$m_1$ is the mass of the first mosquito

$u_1 = 0$ is the initial velocity of the mosquito

$m_2 = 50 m_1$ is the mass of the raindrop

$u_2 = 8.4 m/s$ is the initial velocity of the raindrop

$v$ is the final combined velocity of the raindrop+mosquito

Re-arranging the equation and substituting, we find:

$m_1 u_1 + 50 m_1 u_2 = (m_1 + 50 m_1) v\\50 m_1 u_2 = 51 m_1 v\\50 u_2 = 51 v\\v=\frac{50}{51}u_2 = \frac{50}{51}(8.4)=8.2 m/s$

Answer:

Increasing until terminal velocity is reached

Explanation:

Provided the scream is a constant pitch at the source, Doppler effect will make the pitch increase as the velocity of the source towards the listener increases.
