Does a bug hitting your windshield slow down your truck?

No I didn't post my question anywhere else. You guys always have an answer so that's why I came here. Thank you.

The James Webb Telescope is in one of Earths Lagrange points, (I believe it's in L2) How does the moons gravity affect this? Do they have to make course corrections?

Does Ceres ever transit Jupiter? And if it does, how large of a telescope would I need to see it?

Can matter be destroyed?

If you fell off one of Miranda's 12 mile high cliffs. what would happen? Would you die? Assuming you are wearing an adequate spacesuit.

Which appeared first on Earth, animals or plants? Also, which appeared on land first?
