<h2>Answer: Toward the center of the circle.</h2>

This situation is characteristic of the uniform circular motion , in which the movement of a body describes a circumference of a given radius with constant speed.  

However, in this movement the velocity has a constant magnitude, but its direction varies continuously.

Let's say \vec{V} is the velocity vector, whose direction is perpendicular to the radius r of the trajectory, therefore   the acceleration \vec{a} is directed toward the center of the circumference.

Strike441 [17]
Momentum is a vector quantity, and is always conserved. Whenever a collision occurs between two objects, the objects behave under the principle of conservation of momentum. Therefore, if an object moves in the direction opposite to its original direction after a collision, then this indicates that the momentum of the colliding object was greater than the object under consideration.

balu736 [363]
<h2>2) Copernicus rediscovered Aristarchus’s heliocentric model.</h2>

Before Copernican Revolution, people did believe in the ptolemain model that establishes the description of the Universe with the earth at the center having sun, moon, starts and planets all orbited earth. On the other hand, the heliocentric model establishes the sun at the center of the solar system and this starts with the publication of Nicolas Copernicus named <em>De revolutionibus orbium coelestium.</em>

<h2>5) Newton’s theories of gravity increased understanding of the movement of planets.</h2>

The revolution ended with Isaac Newton's work over a century later. As you well know, Newton was both a physicist and mathematician, better known for his prodigal work called <em>Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica. </em>In this revolution, he is known for his laws of motion and universal gravitation increasing understanding of the movement of planets.

Viktor [21]

Answer:

It will have aim at a point "below" the insect.

From the insect's point of view, the fish will appear to be shallower than it actually is because a ray of light from the insect to the fish will be bent "towards" the normal when the ray enters the water
