A bumblebee can sense electric fields. The most likely mechanism underlying this sensitivity is the motion of hairs on the bee's body. The hairs bend in response to an electric field, and the bee senses this motion. Support for this mechanism as the source of the sensitivity is the fact that putting an electric charge on a bee (as occurs when a bee flies through the air) dramatically increases its electric field sensitivity. Explain why adding charge to a bee causes hairs on the bee's body to bend more in response to a field. Drag the terms on the left to the appropriate blanks on the right to complete the sentences. 1. The hairs of bee without charge can only interact with an electric field because that fieldthe bee's hairs.
2. If the charge is added, the hairswould interact with the field because of excess charge.
3. The force exerted by the electric field on the bee's hairs iswhen the charge is added, so the hairs bend stronger and their motion is easier to sense.
A. Couldn't be polarized, but
B. Less
C. Causes charge to
D. Polarizes
E. Could be polarized and also
F. Greater

This is a form of winter precipitation. it is frozen precipitation falling as ice pellets. snowflakes melt into raindrops as they pass through a thin layer of warmer air. the raindrops then refreeze into particles of ice when they fall into a layer of sub-freezing air near the surface of the earth. this precipitation is called a) hail. b) rain. c) sleet. d) snow.

Learning goal: to understand newton's 1st law. newton's principia states this first law of motion: an object subject to no net force maintains its state of motion, either at rest or at constant speed in a right line. this law may be restated as follows: if the sum of all forces acting on an object is zero, then the acceleration of that object is zero. mathematically this is just a special case of the 2nd law of motion, f⃗ =ma⃗ , when f⃗ =0. when studying newtonian mechanics, it is best to remember the 1st law in two ways: if the net force (i.e., sum of all forces) acting on an object is zero, the object will keep moving with constant velocity (which may be zero). if an object is moving with constant velocity, that is, with zero acceleration, then the net force acting on that object must be zero. complete the following sentences to see if you can apply these ideas. part a if a car is moving to the left with constant velocity, one can conclude that
