A hovering mosquito is hit by a raindrop that is 45 times as massive and falling at 8.2 m/s , a typical raindrop speed. How fast

is the raindrop, with the attached mosquito, falling immediately afterward if the collision is perfectly inelastic

Answer:

The speed of the raindrop  and the mosquito is 8.02 m/s.

Explanation:

mass of mosquito = m

mass of drop = 45 m

initial velocity of mosquito, u = 0 m/s  

initial velocity of drop,  u' = 8.2 m/s

During the inelastic collision, the momentum of the system is conserved.  

Let the speed of rain drop and the mosquito is v.

Use the conservation of momentum

m x u + 45 m x u' = (m +  45 m) v

m x 0 + 45 m x 8.2 = 46 m x v

v = 8.02 m/s

lbvjy [14]

Explanation:

It is given that, Onur drops a basketball from a height of 10 m on Mars, where the acceleration due to gravity has a magnitude of 3.7 m/s².

The second equation of kinematics gives the relationship between the height reached and time taken by it.

Here, the ball is droped under the action of gravity. The value of acceleration due to gravity on Mars is positive.

We want to know how many seconds the basketball is in the air before it hits the ground. So, the formula is :

\Delta x=v_ot+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2

t is time taken by the ball to hit the ground

v_o is initial speed of the ball

So, the correct option is (A).

A tennis ball, 0.314 kg, is accelerated at a rate of 164 m/s2 when hit by a professional tennis player. What force does the play
SVEN [57.7K]
Newton's 2nd law of motion:

                    Force = (mass) x (acceleration)

                             = (0.314 kg) x (164 m/s²)

                             =    51.5 newtons

                         (about 11.6 pounds) .

Notice that the ball is only accelerating while it's in contact with the racket.
The instant the ball loses contact with the racket, it stops accelerating, and
sails off in a straight line at whatever speed it had when it left the strings.

A 1. 18 kg gold cube hangs at the end of a 4. 00 m long string. Rhogold = 19. 3 × 103 kg/m3; rhomercury = 13. 6 × 103 kg/m3. Whe
VashaNatasha [74]

When the gold cube is immersed in mercury, the tension in the string in Newtons is 3.142N.

<h3>What is tension?</h3>

Tension is the force acting on the linear object like string, chain or rope due to pulling.

Volume of gold V = mass / density

V = 1.18 /19.3x 10³ =61.1 x 10⁻⁶ m³

Tension in the string after immersing will be

T = [ρ(Gold)  -ρ(Hg)] g. V

T =[ 19.3x 10³ - 13.6 x 10³] x 9.81 x 61.1 x 10⁻⁶

T =3.416 N
Thus, the tension in the string is 3.42 N.
