A mosquito can fly with a speed of 1.10 m/s with respect to the air. Suppose a mosquito flies east at this speed across a swamp.

The mosquito is flying into a breeze that has a velocity of 1.4 m/s with respect to Earth and moves in the direction of 35 west of south. What is the mosquito's speed with respect to the Earth?

Answer:

The velocity of Mosquito with respect to earth will be 0.302m/s

Explanation:

V(ma) = 1.10 m/s, east  Velocity of mosquito with respect to air

V(ae) = 1.4 m/s at 35°  Velocity of air with respect to Earth in west of south direction.

Velocity of Mosquito with respect to earth will be  

V(me) = V(ma) + V(ae)

We need to find the mosquito’s speed with respect to Earth in the x direction.

V(x, me) = V(x, ma) + V(x, ae) = V(ma) + V(ae)(cos theta(ae) )

Angle (ae) = –90.0° − 35°=−125°

V(x, me) = 1.10 + (1.4)Cos(-125)

             = 1.10 + 1.4(-0.57)

             = 1.10 -0.798

              = 0.302

So the velocity of Mosquito with respect to earth will be 0.302m/s

What net force acting on a 14 KG wagon produces an acceleration of 1.5 MS^2?
valentina_108 [34]

21N

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of wagon = 14kg

Acceleration = 1.5m/s²

Unknown:

Net force on wagon = ?

Solution:

Force is a pull or push on a body that causes a body to change its state. It is expressed as:  

                 Force = mass  x acceleration

  Force on wagon = 14 x 1.5 = 21N

What does a negative value for the focal length tell you?
Llana [10]
 the focal length <span> is much more decent  for a concave, and also worse</span><span> for a convex mirror. When the image that is given, distance is good and decent, images are always on the same area of the mirror as the object given , and it is not fake.  images distance  is </span>never positive <span>, the image is on the oppisite side of  the mirror, so the image must be virtual.</span>

An electron with charge −e and mass m moves in a circular orbit of radius r around a nucleus of charge Ze, where Z is the atomic
shepuryov [24]

Answer:

v=\sqrt{\frac{kZe^2}{mr}}

Explanation:

The electrostatic attraction between the nucleus and the electron is given by:

F=k\frac{(e)(Ze)}{r^2}=k\frac{Ze^2}{r^2} (1)

where

k is the Coulomb's constant

Ze is the charge of the nucleus

e is the charge of the electron

r is the distance between the electron and the nucleus

This electrostatic attraction provides the centripetal force that keeps the electron in circular motion, which is given by:

F=m\frac{v^2}{r} (2)

where

m is the mass of the electron

v is the speed of the electron

Combining the two equations (1) and (2), we find

k\frac{Ze^2}{r^2}=m\frac{v^2}{r}

And solving for v, we find an expression for the speed of the electron:

v=\sqrt{\frac{kZe^2}{mr}}
