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 $4m/sec$.

Which of the following is not true about the Law of Conservation of Energy?
SVEN [57.7K]

By definition, the law of conservation of energy states that:

Ei = Ef

Where,

Ei: initial energy

Ef: final energy

Therefore, no matter the type of energy, always the final energy is equal to the final energy.

Energy can be transformed into another type of energy. For example, the potential energy can be transformed into kinetic energy.

Also, energy is not created, nor destroyed.

Answer:

The following is not true about the Law of Conservation of Energy:

A. It states that the total energy in the universe keeps increasing.

Explain the relationship between temperature, energy, and motion of particles in an object.
ANEK [815]

Answer:

Explanation:

Temperature is the degree of hotness or coldness of a body.

Energy is the ability to do work by a body. They are of two forms, potential and kinetic energy. Potential energy is due to the position of a body whereas kinetic energy is due to the motion of a body.

Motion is the change in position of a body with time.

Temperature, energy and motion are all related.

Thermal energy is a form of kinetic energy which is concerned about the motion particles. This form of energy results from heat changes in a body which causes temperature differences.

When a body is heat and changes temperature, the particles begins to vibrate as they gain, thermal energy, a form of kinetic energy. At a point, the particles will break lose and set in motion.

When a pendulum is at the midpoint of its oscillation, hanging straight down, which statement is true?
Svetach [21]
When a pendulum is at the midpoint of its oscillation, hanging straight down ...

-- that's the fastest it's going to swing, so its kinetic energy is maximum;
and
-- that's the lowest it's going to get, so its potential energy is minimum.

'c' is your choice.
