Answer:

Because of the knowledge of <u>relative size</u>, it will be assumed that the smaller jetliner is farther away.

Explanation:

According to the theory of relative size, the distance that an object has to the viewing individual affects the perception of the individual regarding the size of the object.

As stated in this case, one of the jetliners is farther away from the other. Therefore, even if the jets are of equal size, the one that is at a greater distance is perceived to be smaller as it is at a greater viewing range. The one that is nearer to the individual seems bigger in comparison to the one farther away due to a closer viewing range.

Therefore, the jet that is nearer appears larger.

To know more about relative size, refer to:

Suppose the coefficient of static friction between the road and the tires on a car is 0.638 and the car has no negative lift. Wh
larisa [96]

Answer:

12.6332454263 m/s

Explanation:

m = Mass of car

v = Velocity of the car

\mu = Coefficient of static friction = 0.638

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

r = Radius of turn = 25.5 m

When the car is on the verge of sliding we have the force equation

\dfrac{mv^2}{r}=\mu mg\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{\mu gr}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{0.638\times 9.81\times 25.5}\\\Rightarrow v=12.6332454263\ m/s

The speed of the car that will put it on the verge of sliding is 12.6332454263 m/s

What are the two types of electrical circuits
uysha [10]

Series Circuit
A series circuit there is only one path for the electrons to flow (see image of series circuit). The main disadvantage of a series circuit is that if there is a break in the circuit the entire circuit is open and no current will flow. An example of a series would the the lights on many inexpensive Christmas trees. If one light goes out all of them will.



Parallel Circuit
In a parallel circuit the different parts of the electric circuit are on several different branches. There are several different paths that electrons can flow. If there is a break in one branch of the circuit electrons can still flow in other branches (see image of parallel circuit). Your home is wired in a parallel circuit so if one light bulb goes out the other will stay on.
