Despite the advent of digital television, some viewers still use "rabbit ears" atop their sets instead of purchasing cable telev

ision service or satellite dishes.
Certain orientations of the receiving antenna on a television set give better reception than others. Furthermore, the best orientation varies from station to station.
Explain.

Answer:

This is due to difference in bandwidths of different stations, and the inability of the bunny ear to accommodate distant bandwidths most times at the same time.

Explanation:

Bunny ears are a simple half-wave dipole antenna used to receive VHF television bands. It is constructed of two telescoping rods attached to a base, these rods extend out to about 1 meter length, and are collapsible when not in use. For the best reception the rods should be adjusted to be a little less than 1/4 wavelength at the frequency of the television channel being received and bandwidth of different station differs one frone another, so adjustment has to be made sometimes in order to get reception from other stations. Thankfully, the dipole has a wide bandwidth, so most times, adequate reception is achieved without having to adjust the length of the bunny ear.

The half wave dipole of a bunny ear has a low gain of about 2.14 dBi; which means it is not as directional and sensitive to distant stations as a large rooftop antenna, but its wide angle reception pattern may allow it to receive several stations located in different directions without requiring readjustment when the channel is changed. Sometime an adjustment of the rods is necessary.

DNA is coiled into chromosomes in a cell's
tia_tia [17]

Answer: Cell's nucleus

Explanation :

The full form of DNA is Deoxyribonucleic acid. The genetic information of a cell is organized in the DNA. It is inherited from parents by their children.

DNA is coiled into chromosomes in a cell's nucleus. It has a shape like a double helix. It is twisted in the form of spirals.

Hence, DNA is coiled into chromosomes in a cell's Nucleus.

A proton is projected into a magnetic field that is directed along the positive x axis. Find the direction of the magnetic force
bulgar [2K]

Te direction of the magnetic force for the velocity of the proton in the

-ve  y direction will be +ve z direction.

As we know that the right-hand rule is based on the relation of magnetic fields and the forces that they exert on moving charges.When a charged particle moves under a magnetic field, it exerts a force on the particle, which is not in the same direction but different than the direction of the magnetic field.Under the right-hand rule,  if we point our pointer finger in the direction of the charged particle is moving and the middle finger is representing the direction of the magnetic field then our thumb depicts the direction of the magnetic force which is exerted on the charged particle.

So,  we are given that the direction of the velocity of the proton is in the negative y direction and the direction of the magnetic field is in the positive x  direction,  so the magnetic force is acting in the positive z direction.

To know  more about the right-hand rule refer to the link brainly.com/question/9750730?referrer=searchResults.

On a popular amusement park ride, the riders stand along the inside wall of a large cylinder with a diameter of 8.27 m. The cyli
____ [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

D = 8.27 m   ⇒  R = D / 2 = 8.27 m / 2 = 4.135 m

ω = 0.66 rev/sec = (0.66 rev/sec)*(2π rad/1 rev) = 4.1469 rad/s

We can apply the equation

Ff = W  ⇒  μ*N = m*g   <em>(I)</em>

then we have

N = Fc = m*ac = m*(ω²*R)

Returning to the equation <em>I</em>

<em />

μ*N = m*g    ⇒    μ*m*ω²*R = m*g   ⇒ μ = g / (ω²*R)

Finally

μ = (9.81 m/s²) / ((4.1469 rad/s)²*4.135 m) = 0.1379
