Guiana dolphins are one of the few mammals able to detect electric fields. In a test of sensitivity, a dolphin was exposed to th

e variable electric field from a pair of charged electrodes. The magnitude of the electric field near the sensory organs was measured by detecting the potential difference between two measurement electrodes located 1.0 cm apart along the field lines. The dolphin could reliably detect a field that produced a potential difference of 0.50 mV between these two electrodes.
1. What is the corresponding electric field strength?

Answer:

0.05 V/m

Explanation:

V = Potential difference that is possible for the dolphin to detect = 0.5 mV

d = Distance between electrodes = 1 cm

Electric field strength is given by

E=\dfrac{V}{d}

\Rightarrow E=\dfrac{0.5\times 10^{-3}}{1\times 10^{-2}}

\Rightarrow E=0.05\ V/m

The corresponding electric field strength is 0.05 V/m

Andrei [34K]

Explanation:

Power = work / time

Power = force × distance / time

P = (12 kg × 10 m/s²) (8 m) / (10 s)

P = 96 Watts

==> Take an Earth weight. Don't forget the unit.

==> Multiply it by 0.166 .

==> The product is its Moon weight. Don't forget the unit.

Example:

If I weigh 1,000 lbs on Earth.

Multiply 1,000 lbs by 0.166 .

I weigh 166 lbs on the Moon

How does the orbital velocity of the earth compare to the of mercury?
zalisa [80]

After my ythorough researching, the orbital velocity of the Earth compare to the Mercury is relative to each other. In addition, Mercury orbits the Sun and it is within the Earth's orbit as its lesser or inferior. The correct answer to the following given statement above is relative to each other.

What makes gravity work
olganol [36]
Well we have two concepts of gravity now. In Newton's concept masses create forces between them. In Einstein's concept mass distorts time and space around it and makes masses move as if there are forces between them.
So whichever concept you prefer it's the presence of mass that creates gravity.

polet [3.4K]
There's an effect called The Doppler Effect, that's the "up and down" sound.
That frequency is 1.8mm and 115 per minute.
