If, while standing on the bank of a stream, you wished to spear a fish swimming in the water out in front of you, would you aim

above, below, or directly at the observed fish to make a direct hit? If you decided to instead zap the fish with a laser, would you aim above, below, or directly at the observed fish? Defend your answers.

Answer:

<em>a) below the observed position</em>

<em>b) directly at the observed position</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

If I'm standing on the bank of a stream, and I wish to spear a fish swimming in the water out in front of me, I would aim below the observed fish to make a direct hit. This is because the phenomenon of refraction of light in water causes the light coming from the fish is refract away from the normal as it passes  into the air and into my eyes.

If I'm to zap the fish with a taser, I would aim directly at the observed fish because the laser (a form of concentrated light waves) will refract into the water, taking the same path the light from the fish took to get to my eyes.

Answer:

9)a

10) I think true

11)b

Explanation:

9)a. because it's told that the car is slowing down, the sum of the forces that are towards left, should be more than the ones that are towards right. if the car was gaining speed, "b" would have been correct. and if it was told that the car is moving without a change in the speed, "c" would have been correct.

10) if a moving object has a change of speed or direction, it would have an acceleration. now if a moving object experiences an unbalanced force, it'd either slow down, gain speed or change direction, and in all of the three possibilities it'd have an acceleration.

11) upward and downward forces are equal, and the sum of them would be 0N(because they have opposite directions). so they negate each other.

and the rightward force is 5N more than the leftward force. so the Net Force would be 5N.

-30+30-10+15=5N

if it is unclear or you need more explanation, ask freely.

Vector vector a has a magnitude of 29 units and points in the positive y-direction. when vector vector b is added to vector a ,
Nutka1998 [239]
Good morning.

We have:

\mathsf{\overset{\to}{a} = 29\overset{\to}{j}}

Where j is the unitary vector in the direction of the y-axis.

We have that 

\mathsf{\overset{\to}{a}+\overset{\to}{b} = -18\overset{\to}{j}}

We add the vector -a to both sides:

\mathsf{\overset{\to}{b} = -18\overset{\to}{j} -\overset{\to}{a} = -18\overset{\to}{j} -29\overset{\to}{j}}\\ \\ \mathsf{\overset{\to}{b}=-47\overset{\to}{j}}


Therefore, the magnitude of b is 47 units.

Means/end analysis involves:_________
polet [3.4K]

a. a gradual approximation to the final solution

Explanation:

Means/end analysis is a process that involves creation of an end goal to enable the identified means to apply.

In this techniques sub-goals are formed to eliminate the challenges faced in application of a selected operator.

It starts by identifying a predetermined goal which is followed by actions that will led to the goal.
