Answer:
Given a set of vectors, you can determine if they are linearly independent by writing the vectors as the columns of the matrix A, and solving Ax = 0.
Explanation:
To solve this, we simply use trigonometry
the effective value of g along the 45° angle is
g eff = g / sin 45
g eff = g / (√2 / 2)
g eff = 2g / √2
g eff = g √2 ≈ 6.94 m/s²
The very first option is correct, as any other answer is either incorrect in terms of optics or does not stop you from seeing the apple.
