Yes. Though for the mosquito it doesn't matter: transferring momentum doesn't damage you. An interesting human scale contrast is the following: You have (a) a heavy metal box or (b) a light wooden box and you throw (1) a bouncy rubber ball or (2) an equally heavy piece of clay at it. What happens in all four combinations? One observation: the rubber ball transfers more momentum, but almost no energy. |
