Honeybees accumulate charge as they fly, and they transfer charge to the flowers they visit. Honeybees are able to sense electri

c fields; tests show that they can detect a change in field as small as 0.77 N/C. Honeybees seem to use this sense to determine the charges on flowers in order to detect whether or not a flower has been recently visited, so they can plan their foraging accordingly. As a check on this idea, let's do a quick calculation using typical numbers for charges on flowers.
Part A If a bee is at a distance of 20 cm, can it detect the difference between flowers that have a 24 pC charge and a 32 pC charge

Answer:

ΔE> E_minimo

We see that the field difference between these two flowers is greater than the minimum field, so the bee knows if it has been recently visited, so the answer is if it can detect the difference

Explanation:

For this exercise let's use the electric field expression

         E = k q / r²

where k is the Coulomb constant that is equal to 9 109 N m² /C², q the charge and r the distance to the point of interest positive test charge, in this case the distance to the bee

let's calculate the field for each charge

 

Q = 24 pC = 24 10⁻¹² C

         E₁ = 9 10⁹ 24 10⁻¹² / 0.20²

         E₁ = 5.4 N / C

Q = 32 pC = 32 10⁻¹² C

         E₂ = 9 10⁹ 32 10⁻¹² / 0.2²

         E₂ = 7.2 N / C

let's find the difference between these two fields

         ΔE = E₂ -E₁

         ΔE = 7.2 - 5.4

         ΔE = 1.8 N / C

the minimum detection field is

         E_minimum = 0.77 N / C

        ΔE> E_minimo

We see that the field difference between these two flowers is greater than the minimum field, so the bee knows if it has been recently visited, so the answer is if it can detect the difference

5. A helicopter scoops a load of water out of a lake, to dump on a forest fire. The helicopter exerts 6480
Strike441 [17]

Answer:

h = 250 m

Explanation:

Given that,

The helicopter exerts 6480  N of force on the water while rising high enough to fly over a mountain.

The helicopter does 1.62\times 10^6\ J of work on the water lifting it.

We need to find how high does it lift the water. Work done is given by :

W=Fh\\\\h=\dfrac{W}{F}\\\\h=\dfrac{1.62\times 10^6}{6480}\\\\h=250\ m

So, it can lift the water to a height of 250 m.

A plant box falls from the windowsill 25.0 m above the sidewalk and hits the cement 3.0 s later. What is the box's velocity when
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

22m/s

Explanation:

To find the velocity we employ the equation of free fall: v²=u²+2gh

where u is initial velocity, g is acceleration due to gravity h is the height, v is the velocity the moment it hits the ground, taking the direction towards gravity as positive.

Substituting for the values in the question we get:

v²=2×9.8m/s²×25m

v²=490m²/s²

v=22.14m/s which can be approximated to 22m/s
