How is the grasshopper adapted to detect moving objects in the environment?

Grasshoppers have compound eyes made up of multiple lenses that can detect movement due to specialized neurons that are sensitive to motion. They also have antennae that can pick up vibrations and air currents caused by moving objects. Additionally, their well-developed nervous system allows them to quickly process and respond to visual stimuli of moving objects in their environment.


Which system the nervous system or the endocrine system best suited to detect danger?

The nervous system


A system of objects in orbit around your sun?

solar system


How did aristotles' inability to detect parallax lead him to propose a geocentric model of the solar system?

He reasoned that since parallax could not be observed for celestial objects near the sun, then the earth was stationary. This erroneous assumption was because at the time he had no way of knowing that celestial objects were so far away that their parallax angles were too small to detect.He reasoned that since parallax could not be observed for celestial objects near the sun, then the earth was stationary.

What objects are in orbit outside of the solar system Periodically earth passes through their orbits?

If the objects are in orbit around the sun then they are in the Solar System.

How far can sonar detect?

The distance that sonar can detect objects underwater varies depending on factors like the power of the sonar system, water conditions, and the size of the object being detected. In general, sonar can detect objects up to several miles away when using higher power systems in optimal conditions.


What is the acronym for SONAR mean?

It stands for SOund Navagation And Ranging.


How is a sonar and a echo different?

Sonar is a technology that uses sound waves to detect objects underwater by measuring the time taken for the sound waves to bounce back. An echo is the reflection of sound waves off a surface back to the source. Sonar is a system that uses echoes to create a map of the underwater environment.


What is sonar signal?

The sonar signals are audio wave signals created by the transmitter that can pass through water. When Radio signals are created in air it is called radar. Usually sonar are used in underwater applications, and navy defense.


What is a device that bounces sound waves off underwater objects?

Any sound waves that happen to be propagating through the water will bounceoff of any objects that are there. No device is required to make that happen.A system that intentionally generates sound waves underwater, and then receivesand analyzes those that return after bouncing off of something in the water, is aSONAR system.


What device do you use to locate objects underwater?

A device commonly used to locate objects underwater is a sonar system, such as a side-scan sonar or a multibeam sonar. These devices emit sound waves into the water and then receive the echoes bouncing back from objects underwater, creating a detailed image of the seafloor or any objects present.


What is the difference between Sonar and Ultrasound?

Sonar is a system that uses sound waves to detect objects underwater, while ultrasound is a medical imaging technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to visualize internal organs and tissues in the body. Sonar is typically used in underwater navigation and communication, while ultrasound is used in medicine for diagnostic purposes.


How does sonar detect underwater objects?

Sonar works by sending out sound waves that travel through the water and bounce off objects. The sonar system then detects the echoes of these sound waves as they bounce back and calculates the distance, size, and shape of underwater objects based on the time it takes for the echo to return.


What object can detect the oldest most distant objects in the solar system?

The Radio Telescope


How does a noise radar system work to detect and track objects in its vicinity?

A noise radar system works by emitting radio frequency signals and analyzing the reflections that bounce back from objects in its vicinity. By measuring the time it takes for the signals to return and the Doppler shift in frequency, the system can determine the distance, speed, and direction of the objects. This information is used to detect and track the objects in real-time.


Which radar system can only detect objects approaching or moving away from the receiver?

Frequency-shift


Which instrument has been to detect the oldest most distant objects in the solar system?
