We have that the speed over the ground of a mosquito flying 2 m/s relative to the air against a 2 m/s headwind is

X=0m/s

From the question we are told that

mosquito flying 2 m/s

against a 2 m/s headwind

Generally

The speed over the ground is the Flight Speed minus resistance speed

Generally the equation for the  speed over the ground  is mathematically given as

X=Flight Speed-resistance speed

Therefore

X=2-2

X=0m/s

Answer:

The speed of mosquito over the ground is $4m/sec$.

Explanation:

• Relative velocity is defined as the velocity of an object B in the rest frame of another object A.

• To find the speed of mosquito over the ground, use this formula:

$${V_{{M \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {M A}} \right.

\kern-\nulldelimiterspace} A}}} = {V_{{M \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {M G}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} G}}} + {V_{{A \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {A G}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} G}}}$$

Where , $A$ represents air,$M$ represents mosquito and $G$ represents ground, thus ${V_{{A \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {A G}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} G}}}$ represents velocity of air with respect to ground and so on.

\\${V_{{M \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {M A}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} A}}} = 2m/sec$ \\${V_{{A \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {A G}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} G}}} =  - 2m/sec$

• Placing the value of the given  in the above formula.

& {V_{{M \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {M A}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} A}}} = {V_{{M \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {M G}} \right.

\kern-\nulldelimiterspace} G}}} + {V_{{A \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {A G}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} G}}}  \\  &  \Rightarrow 2 = {V_{{M \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {M G}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} G}}} - 2  \\

 &  \Rightarrow {V_{{M \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {M G}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} G}}} = 4m/sec \\\end{align}\]$$

• Hence, the speed of mosquito over the ground is $4m/sec$.

Why transparent object don't form a shadow​
Pani-rosa [81]

Explanation:

Transparent objects do not form shadows. The light passes completely from the transparent objects thus these objects will not form shadow. ... In such objects, the light gets refracted thus, such objects forms shadow. The refraction is also the reason why we can see such objects.

How is it possible to get three precise but inaccurate measurements of the same volume of water
Lubov Fominskaja [6]
The inaccurate measurements must be similar to the other two measurements (ex; 590, 589, 599), but different from the actual volume of water. (Ex; the actual volume is let say.. 100, but you measured 50, 49, 40)
