Because a raindrop is "soft" and deformable, the collision duration is a relatively long  8.0  msms.  what is the mosquito's average acceleration, in  gg's,  during the collision? the peak acceleration is roughly twice the value you found, but the mosquito's rigid exoskeleton allows it to survive accelerations of this magnitude. in contrast, humans cannot survive an acceleration of more than  about 10  gg.

some think that theories become laws, but theories and laws have separate and distinct roles in the scientific method. a law is a description of an observed phenomenon in the natural world that hold true every time it is tested. it doesn't explain why something is true; it just states that it is true.

force required to detach it is given by

charges are taken to be fundamental charge

now we have

so above is the minimum distance at which it will detach
