The 9-inch-long elephant nose fish in the Congo River generates a weak electric field around its body using an organ in its tail

. When small prey, or even potential mates, swim within a few feet of the fish, they perturb the electric field. The change in the field is picked up by electric sensor cells in the skin of the elephant nose. These remarkable fish can detect changes in the electric field as small as 3.00 μN/C. How much charge, modeled as a point charge, in the fish would be needed to produce such a change in the electric field at a distance of 63.5 cm ?

Answer:

1.34\cdot 10^{-16} C

Explanation:

The strength of the electric field produced by a charge Q is given by

E=k\frac{Q}{r^2}

where

Q is the charge

r is the distance from the charge

k is the Coulomb's constant

In this problem, the electric field that can be detected by the fish is

E=3.00 \mu N/C = 3.00\cdot 10^{-6}N/C

and the fish can detect the electric field at a distance of

r=63.5 cm = 0.635 m

Substituting these numbers into the equation and solving for Q, we find the amount of charge needed:

Q=\frac{Er^2}{k}=\frac{(3.00\cdot 10^{-6} N/C)(0.635 m)^2}{9\cdot 10^9 Nm^2 C^{-2}}=1.34\cdot 10^{-16} C

The graph above shows the position x as a function of time for the center of mass of a system of particles of total mass 6. 0 kg
kumpel [21]

The resulting change in momentum of the system will be +18.6 Ns. The momentum is conserved.

<h3>What is the law of conservation of momentum?</h3>

According to the law of conservation of momentum, the momentum of the body before the collision is always equal to the momentum of the body after the collision.

The given data in the problem is;

m is the mass =6.0 kg

t is the time interval=2 second

From Newton's second law;

\rm \triangle P =m \triangle V \\\\ \triangle P= m(\frac{\triangle x}{\triangle t} )\\\\

From the graph;

\rm \triangle t = 2sec\\\\ \triangle x = (12-8) m

The change in the momentum is;

\rm \triangle P = m\tr(\frac{v-u}{t}) \\\\ \triangle P =9.3 \times \frac{12-8}{2} \\\\ \triangle P= +18.6 \  N.s

Hence, the resulting change in momentum of the system will be +18.6 Ns.

Answer:

Explanation:

I'm going to assume that all the givens are in m/s. If I am correct, The orange line is speeding up. It is going from 4 m/s to 7 m/s. Its slant is from lower left to upper right. It is increasing in speed.

The green line is slowing down. It is going from 4 to 0 m/s. It's slant is from upper left to lower right.

The blue line is horizontal. It is neither slowing down or speeding up.

How microwave tower work?​
Airida [17]

Answer:

Microwave towers are telecommunications towers that use microwaves to transmit telephone and television signals to other microwave towers.

Explanation:

This technology replaced existing transmission wires, but it is almost entirely obsolete as of 2015 due to the advent of fiber optics and other modern methods of telecommunication.

What are some of the phenotypic plant traits that scientists are investigating? Why do you think these traits were chosen?
vodomira [7]

The term phenotype in a more specific context to describe the collective expression of the genotype in conjunction with the environment on a plant's observable characteristics.

<u>Explanation</u>:

  • Phenotype, any of the measurable features of an organism arising from its genotype association (total genetic inheritance) with the environment. Behaviour, biochemical properties, colour, form, and scale are examples of measurable characteristics.
  • An allele is another type of one gene. A phenotype triggered by the expression of a gene or group of genes is the external manifestation of a human trait.
  • A trait is an attribute unique to an organism. The genotype's external expression is called the phénotype.

How can a vector have a component value equal to zero and also have a non zero magnitude
lina2011 [118]
The vector's magnitude is the square root of (one component squared) + (the other component squred). The magnitude is non-zero if one component or the other is zero, but not if they both are.
