To-determine: The velocity relative to the air, should the mosquito hover above a person for lunch.
Answer to Problem 4TE
The velocity relative to the air, that a mosquito should hover a person for lunch is
Explanation of Solution
The velocity of an object with respect to any other object either in motion or rest is said to be as relative velocity. The relative velocity of two objects moving with the same velocity in a specific direction is equal to zero. Similarly, if they have the opposite direction, the relative velocity becomes two times.
A hungry mosquito watches a person resting in a hammock in a
Conclusion:
Therefore, the velocity relative to the air, that a mosquito should hover a person for lunch is
