a. With what speed are pollen grains ejected from a bunchberry flower? See Problem 47 for information.

b. Suppose that 1000 ejected pollen grains slam into the abdomen of a 5.0 g bee that is hovering just above the flower. If the collision is perfectly inelastic, what is the bee’s speed immediately afterward? Is the bee likely to notice?

Reference: Problem 47:

The flowers of the bunchberry plant open with astonishing force and speed, causing the pollen grains to be ejected out of the flower in a mere 0.30 ms at an acceleration of . If the acceleration is constant, what impulse is delivered to a pollen grain with a mass of ?
