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

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

f=ma a/f/m a= 480/60 a = 8m/s/s that is quick wow

the answer is mosques. they are an important part of islamic culture.
