| Jun 7, 2017 at 11:44 | comment | added | Kaizer Sozay | Your answer is incorrect - water is far more viscous than air, and a mosquito is still a relatively large object (compared to a virus). We are pushed back in our seat, because we are in contact with the seat when the car is moving. The mosquito is not in contact with the car, just some of the air particles in the car (which may or may not be in contact with the car, depending on the air pressure). As the pressure tends to towards a vacuum, it is less likely that air particles will be in contact with the mosquito or the car, and in a perfect vacuum, the mosquito will crash into the shield.. | |
