Look at the first person’s answer. Cause I know I’m wrong
Answer:
I'm pretty sure that the answer is A
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
It is indeed true that scientists have known about the background radiation (commonly known as the Cosmic Microwave Background) since the early 60s. It was first discovered quite by accident by Penzias and Wilson working at Bell Labs, who detected it as an unexplainable interference in their precision radio equipment. When people finally figured out exactly what it was they were seeing, they won the Nobel Prize for their discovery. Only a few years before, George Gamow had predicted that if the Big Bang theory were correct, we should observe just such a background radiation. The CMB is not the only evidence in favor of the Big Bang, but it is one of the most important. It is a natural consequence of the theory, and is pretty unexplainable in steady-state cosmology.
The 15-20 billion year number comes not from the CMB, but rather predominantly from measurements of nearby and distant galaxies, particularly their rates of expansion away from us. We find that the distance to a galaxy is proportional to its recessional velocity. The constant of proportionality is the Hubble Constant, H, which turns out to be (approximately) the reciprocal of the age of the universe. So we measure the age by measuring recessional velocities. T = 1/H is only true, however, if the universe is not significantly accelerating or decelerating its expansion rate. If the rate of expansion is rapidly accelerating, the universe may be older than 1/H = 15 billion years, give or take. Such an acceleration would be caused by a large value of the Cosmological Constant, a sort of anti-gravity force predicted by General Relativity. There is some evidence that this might be the case.
So finally, yes, the age of the universe, being based on the empirical determination of H, is based on the observed evidence.
