The x-coordinates of two objects moving along the x-axis are given as a function of time (t). x1= (4m/s)t x2= -(161m) + (48m/s)t

- (4 m/s^2)t^2 Calculate the magnitude of the distance of closest approach of the two objects. x1 and x2 never have the same value.

The two displacement functions are
x₁ = 4t
x₂ = -161 + 48t - 4t²
where
x₁, x₂ are in meters
t is time, s

The distance between the two objects is
x = x₁ - x₂
   =  4t + 161 - 48t + 4t²
x = 4t² - 44t + 161

Write this equation in the standard form for a parabola.
x = 4[t² - 11t] + 161
  = 4[ (t - 5.5)² - 5.5² ] + 161
 x = 4(t-5)² + 40

Ths is a parabola that faces up and has its vertex (lowest point) at (5, 40).
Therefore the closest approach of the two objects is 40 m.
The graph of x versus t confirms the result.

Answer: The distance of the closest approach is 40 m.

Marina is staring at an optical illusion where he sees a version of the American flag that is colored green, yellow, and black.
k0ka [10]

Explanation:

The reason why Marina sees the colour red, white and blue or the original colour of the American flag is that because of a phenomenon known as Afterimage. The retina in our eyes have mainly three receptors that are colour sensitive known as cones. These receptors can perceive the colour green, red and blue. Now when we look or stare at a particular colour for a long time, what happen is that our retina becomes tired and they ignore the colours that stared at. And now they work to form other colours at the retina just like the way when we produce other colour from the primary colour.

If the red receptor gets exhausted we will see the colour red. Likewise when we see the colour orange when we stare at the colour blue.

This explains the optical illusion of the American flag.
