Answer:
A. Time, t = 4.35s
B. Height of its fall, S = 92.72m
Explanation:
Vo = 0 m/s
Vi = 0.46h m/s
S = h m
a = 9.81 m/s2
To calculate the time taken, we need to get the value of the distance, h.
Using the equations of motion,
Vi^2 = Vo^2 + 2aS
Where Vi = final velocity
Vo = initial velocity
a = acceleration due to gravity
S = height of its fall
(0.46h)^2 = 0 + 2*9.81*h
0.2116h^2 = 19.62h
h = 19.62/0.1648
= 92.722 m
To calculate the time,
S = Vo*t +(1/2)*a*t^2
92.772 = 0 + (1/2)*9.81*t^2
t^2 = 185.44/9.81
= 18.904
t = sqrt(18.904)
= 4.348 s
A. Increase is correct because the statement said the moons gravitational "PULL"

Answer:
B. The truck and mosquito exert the same size force on each other.
Explanation:
Newton's third law (law of action-reaction) states that
"When an object A exerts a force (action) on an object B, then object B exerts an equal and opposite force (reaction) on object A"
In this case, we can call
object A = the truck
object B = the mosquito
Thereforce according to Newton's third law, the force exerted by the truck on the mosquito is equal in magnitude to the force exerted by the mosquito on the truck (and in opposite direction).
The reason for which the mosquito will experience much more damage is the fact that the mosquito's mass is much smaller than the truck's mass, and since the acceleration is inversely proportional to the mass:

the mosquito will experience a much larger deceleration than the truck, therefore much more damage.
