Answer:

The limits of our senses are

Limits of Sight

Our vision field of view is 120° sideways and 135° vertically

Angular visual resolution is about an 1/60 of one degree

The presence of blind spots in the eyes

Limits of sound

The hearing range is within 20 - 20,000 Hz and our threshold hearing above 0 to 5 decibel of sound

Limits of taste

We have very limited sense of taste which is partly dependent on our sense of smell with little objectivity in distinguishing tastes

Sense of smell

The establishing of the effectiveness of human sense of smell is gauged on numerous parameters with certain tests being inconsistent, as such, it is difficult to clearly establish the effectiveness of the human sense of smell

In comparison with the sense of smell of other living things such as dogs, the human sense organ is comparatively low

What are the seasonal changes in the weasel in florida and the weasel in wyoming

AlekseyPX

Winter weasels, also called ermines or short-tailed weasels, have coats that turn from light brown to white in the winter. The color change begins at their stomachs and works its way outward, occurring in both spring and fall. Other species, like the long-tailed weasel, may turn at least partially white as well.

The length of daylight, not temperature, prompts the color change. As a result, weasels in winter may be stark white against a brown landscape before snow starts to fall. During warmer winters, this makes them easy prey for larger predators such as foxes, martens, and badgers.

Akhtar, Kiran and Rahul were riding in a motorocar that was moving with a high velocity on

VikaD [51]

Answer:

According to the law of conservation of momentum:

Momentum of the car and insect system before collision = Momentum of the car and insect

system after collision

Hence, the change in momentum of the car and insect system is zero.

The insect gets stuck on the windscreen. This means that the direction of the insect is

reversed. As a result, the velocity of the insect changes to a great amount. On the other hand,

the car continues moving with a constant velocity. Hence, Kiran’s suggestion that the insect

suffers a greater change in momentum as compared to the car is correct. The momentum of

the insect after collision becomes very high because the car is moving at a high speed.

Therefore, the momentum gained by the insect is equal to the momentum lost by the car.

Akhtar made a correct conclusion because the mass of the car is very large as compared to

the mass of the insect.

Rahul gave a correct explanation as both the car and the insect experienced equal forces

caused by the Newton’s action-reaction law. But, he made an incorrect statement as the

system suffers a change in momentum because the momentum before the collision is equal to

the momentum after the collision.

Answer:Explained Below

Explanation:

Radiation in everyday language refers to certain type of subatomic particle released by a radioactive unstable nucleus.It can be used to kill the cancer by damaging the DNA of cancer cells.

The transmission of energy in the form of waves via a material medium is called radiation in astronomical context.

A rock is sitting at the edge of a flat merry-go-round at a distance of 1.6 meters from the center. The coefficient of static fr

PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

ω = 2.1 rad/sec

Explanation:

As the rock is moving along with the merry-go-round, in a circular trajectory, there must be an external force, keeping it on track.
This force, that changes the direction of the rock but not its speed, is the centripetal force, and aims always towards the center of the circle.
Now, we need to ask ourselves: what supplies this force?
In this case, the only force acting on the rock that could do it, is the friction force, more precisely, the static friction force.
We know that this force can be expressed as follows:

$f_{frs} = \mu_{s} * F_{n} (1)$

where μs = coefficient of static friction between the rock and the merry-

go-round surface = 0.7, and Fn = normal force.

In this case, as the surface is horizontal, and the rock is not accelerated in the vertical direction, this force in magnitude must be equal to the weight of the rock, as follows:
Fn = m*g (2)
This static friction force is just the same as the centripetal force.
The centripetal force depends on the square of the angular velocity and the radius of the trajectory, as follows:

$F_{c} = m* \omega^{2}*r (3)$

Since (1) is equal to (3), replacing (2) in (1) and solving for ω, we get:

$\omega = \sqrt{\frac{\mu_{s} * g}{r} } = \sqrt{\frac{0.7*9.8m/s2}{1.6m}} = 2.1 rad/sec$

This is the minimum angular velocity that would cause the rock to begin sliding off, due to that if it is larger than this value , the centripetal force will be larger that the static friction force, which will become a kinetic friction force, causing the rock to slide off.
