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 $4m/sec$.

At each of the designated points, rotate the given vector to indicate the direction of the force exerted by the water on either
GrogVix [38]

Answer:

The direction of the force at A and B is perpendicular to the walls of the container.

The direction of the force at C is down.

The direction of the force in D is up

The direction of the force at E is to the left.

The attached figure shows the forces exerted by the water at points A, B, C, D and E.

Explanation:

The water is in contact with the bowl and with the fish. It exercises at points A, B, C, D and E, but the direction is different from the force.

The fish has a buoyant force on the water and that direction is up. The direction of at point D is up.

The column of water on the fish has a downward force, therefore the direction of the force at point C is down. The water column to the right of the fish has a force to the left, and the direction at point E is to the left.

The water will exert a force on the walls of the container and this force at points A and B is a on the walls of the container.

A particle having a speed of 0.87c has a momentum of 10-16 kg·m/s. what is its mass?
cupoosta [38]
The momentum p of a moving particle is the product between its mass, m, and tis velocity, v:
p=mv
In our problem, we know p=10^{-16}~Kg \cdot m/s and v=0.87c=0.87\cdot 3\cdot10^8~m/s=2.61\cdot 10^8~m/s, and using the relationship mentioned above, we can find the mass m of the particle:
m= \frac{p}{v} =3.8\cdot10^{-25}~Kg
