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

who brought astronomy out of the dark ages by declaring: "finally we shall place the sun himself at the center of the universe.
solong [7]

Nicolaus Copernicus was the one who brought astronomy out of the dark ages.

In one of his books "On the Revolutions of the Heavenly Bodies", he published the renowned line which declares his theory.

Nicolaus Copernicus, A polish astronomer put forward the theory that the is th Sun one that rests in the middle or center of the Universe and the planet Earth revolves around it on its axis every day.which was considered to be called the Heliocentric system.

A book is dropped from a window. It takes 5 seconds to reach the ground. What is its velocity after 2 seconds? What’s the veloci
ira [324]

Answer:

Explanation:

Initial velocity is 0. In the equation v = v0+at where v0 is the initial velocity of 0, we only have to fill in -9.8 for a and 2 for t to get the velocity after 2 seconds -19.6 m/s; after 5 seconds, when it hits the ground, a = -9.8 and t = 5 to give a velocity of -49 m/s. Gravity pulls down everything at the same rate, it doesn't matter whether we drop a feather or an elephant from the window!

A graduated cylinder.measures 15.3 mL. Convert this measurement to DaL
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

0.000153DaL  

Explanation:

We have been given:

         15.3mL to convert to DaL

DaL is a unit of volume which indicates a decaliter.

 This implies that;

             1 Da L  = 1 x 10²L

So:

               1 mL  = 1 x 10⁻³L

       So 15.3mL will give 15.3 x 10⁻³L

So;

           1 x 10²L   =  1 DaL  

      15.3 x 10⁻³L  will give \frac{15.3 x 10^{-3} }{1 x 10^{2} }   = 15.3 x 10⁻⁵DaL

Therefore, this is 0.000153DaL
