You have a horizontal cathode ray tube (CRT) for which the controls have been adjusted such that the electron beam should make a

single spot of light exactly in the center of the screen. You observe however that the spot is deflected to the right. It is possible that the CRT is broken. But as a clever scientist you realize that your laboratory might be in teh middle of a electric or magnetic field. Assuming that you do not have a compass, anymagnets, or any charged rods, how do you use the CRT itself to determine if the CRT is broken, in an electric field, or in a magnetic field?You cannot remove the CRT from the room>

Answer:

Explanation:

Rotate it slowly to establish whether the spot moves. If it is broken, it will stay as it is. By rotating it the electrons' path to the centre of the screen will be tilted to another position by any external disturbing field.

What is the most fundamental property of a star in determining its evolution? luminosity temperature composition mass size?
Vitek1552 [10]
The most fundamental property of a star that determines its evolution is the MASS of the star.

In fact, while low-mass stars usually end their life becoming red giants and then white or black dwarfs, the high-mass stars can evolve into red supergiants and eventually originate a supernova. After the explosion of the supernova, depending on their mass, they can becomes neutron stars or collapse into black holes.

The turns ratio is equal to the voltage ratio. Let n1 and n2 be the primary and secondary turns. Then
5850V/120V=n1/n2
48.75=2680/n2
n2=2680/48.75

Some bats have specially shaped noses that focus ultrasound echolocation pulses in the forward direction. Why is this useful?
creativ13 [48]

Answer:

The evolutionary success of bats is accredited to their ability, as the only mammals, to fly and navigate in darkness by echolocation, thus filling a niche exploited by few other predators. Over 90% of all bat species use echolocation to localize obstacles in their environment by comparing their own high frequency sound pulses with returning echoes. The ability to localize and identify objects without the use of vision allows bats to forage for airborne nocturnal insects, but also for a diverse range of other food types including motionless perched prey or non-animal food items.

The agility and precision with which bats navigate and forage in total darkness, is in large part due to the accuracy and flexibility of their echolocation system. The echolocation clicks of the few echolocating Pteropodidae (Rousettus) are fundamentally different from the echolocation sounds produced in the larynx that we focus on here, and thus not part of this review. Many studies have shown that bats adapt their echolocation calls to a variety of conditions, changing duration and bandwidth of each call and the rate at which calls are emitted in response to changing perceptual demands . In recent years the intensity and directionality of echolocation signals has received increasing research attention and it is becoming evident that these parameters also play a major role in how bats successfully navigate and forage. To perceive an object in its surroundings, a bat must ensonify the object with enough energy to return an audible echo. Hence, the intensity and duration of the emitted signal act together to determine how far away a bat can echolocate an object. Equally important is signal directionality. Bat echolocation calls are directional, i.e., more call energy is focused in the forward direction than to the sides (Simmons, 1969; Shimozawa et al., 1974; Mogensen and Møhl, 1979; Hartley and Suthers, 1987, 1989; Henze and O'Neill, 1991). An object detectable at 2 m directly in front of the bat may not be detected if it is located at the same distance but off to the side. Consequently, at any given echolocation frequency and duration, it is the combination of signal intensity and signal directionality that defines the search volume, i.e., the volume in space where the bat can detect an object.

The aim of this review is to summarize current knowledge about intensity and directionality of bat echolocation calls, and show how both are adapted to habitat and behavioral context. Finally, we discuss the importance of active motor-control to dynamically adjust both signal intensity and directionality to solve the different tasks faced by echolocating bats.
