The answer is no but it might work if u stand still foot down and jump at the last second jump but however u might have a dislocate bone or u will lost a leg

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:

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

Assume we’re able to travel to your planet and decide to take some fireworks with us to celebrate our journey.

julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

The horizontal distance covered by the firework will be $\frac{1876.8}{g}$

Explanation:

Let acceleration due to gravity on the planet be g, initial velocity of the firework be u and angle made with the horizontal be ∅.

writing equation of motion in vertical direction:

$v_{y}=u_{y}+(-g) t$

$u_{y}= u\sin \phi$

and $v_{y}=0$

therefore $\frac{u\sin \phi }{g} =t$

writing equation of motion in horizontal direction:

$s_{x}=u_{x}t$

$u_{x} = u\cos \phi$

therefore the equation becomes $s_{x}=\frac{u^{2} \sin \phi \cos \phi}{g}$

therefore horizontal distance traveled = $\frac{u^{2}\sin 2\alpha \phi }{2g}=\frac{1876.8}{g}\frac{m}{s}$

In a thermostat, what property of the bimetallic coil allows it to contract and expand? The two metals absorb different amounts

Reika [66]

Hello!

In a thermostat, the property of the bimetallic coil that allows it to contract and expand is that The two metals absorb different amounts of thermal energy.

This bimetallic coil is used to transform thermal energy into mechanical movement. Two metals with different thermal expansivity are joined together parallelly and the changes of temperature cause bending in different directions depending on if the temperature is rising or descending.

The differences in the thermal energy absorption of the two metals are the basis for the mechanism of this device.

The Reynolds number, rho VD/mu, is a very important parameter in fluid mechanics. Verify that the Reynolds number is dimensionle

Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

Re = 1 10⁴

Explanation:

Reynolds number is

Re = ρ v D /μ

The units of each term are

ρ = [kg / m³]

v = [m / s]

D = [m]

μ = [Pa s]

The pressure

Pa = [N / m²] = [Kg m / s²] 1 / [m²] = [kg / m s²]

μ = [Pa s] = [kg / m s²] [s] = [kg / m s]

We substitute the units in the equation

Re = [kg / m³] [m / s] [m] / [kg / m s]

Re = [kg / m s] / [m s / kg]

RE = [ ]

Reynolds number is a scalar

Let's evaluate for the given point

Where the data for methane are:

viscosity μ = 11.2 10⁻⁶ Pa s

the density ρ = 0.656 kg / m³

D = 2 in (2.54 10⁻² m / 1 in) = 5.08 10⁻² m

Re = 0.656 4 2 5.08 10⁻² /11.2 10⁻⁶

Re = 1.19 10⁴

2. What biotic and abiotic factors might influence the wolf and moose population numbers? List 1 biotic factors 1 abiotic factor

Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

Abiotic - sun Biotic- Plants

Water supply, climate, shape of the land, vegetation, soils and availability of natural resources.

Explanation:

Abiotic means non living so the sun is non living. The sun gives us warmth and the ability to survive

Biotic means alive or living- plants are living and give off oxygen and take in carbon to help us live umm ok
