The best answer is C."the brain interprets the size of the images"
Because, light reflects off the things in the world, then is focussed by our eye's lens. The light changes the light image we are seeing from the distal stimulus(or 3 diminutional world) to the proximal stimulus(or 2 dimensional world), but the image is not actually interpreted until it passes through the retina and optic nerve. The retina converts light into electrical impulses and the optic nerve carries those impulses to the brain. The Brain then changes the electrical impulses into a visual image.

Exactly the same way that you can photograph a mountain or a skyscraper
with the itty bitty camera in your smartphone.

Lenses are used to form a tiny image of a gigantic object.

Ann (mass 50 kg) is standing at the left end of a 15-m-long, 500 kg cart that has frictionless wheels and rolls on a frictionles

ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

13.5 m

Explanation:

M = Mass of cart = 500 kg

m = Ann's mass = 50 kg

$v_m$ = Velocity of Ann relative to cart = 5 m/s

$v_M$ = Velocity of Cart relative to Ann

As the linear momentum of the system is conserved

$Mv_M+mv_m=0\\\Rightarrow v_M=-\frac{mv_m}{M}\\\Rightarrow v_M=-\frac{50\times 5}{500}\\\Rightarrow v_M=-0.5\ m/s$

Time taken to reach the right end by Ann

$Time=\frac{Distance}{Speed}\\\Rightarrow Time=\frac{15}{5}=3\ s$

Distance the cart will move in the 3 seconds

$Distance=Speed\times Time\\\Rightarrow Distance=-0.5\times 3=-1.5\ m$

The negative sign indicates opposite direction

Movement of Ann will be the sum of the distances

$15+(-1.5)=13.5\ m$

The net movement of Ann is 13.5 m

sveticcg [70]

Given

v = 343 m/s

ac = 5g

ac = 5*9.8 m/s^2

ac = 49 m/s^2

where,

v: velocity

ac = centripetal aceleration

Procedure

We call the acceleration of an object moving in uniform circular motion—resulting from a net external force—the centripetal acceleration ac; centripetal means “toward the center” or “center seeking”.

Formula

$\begin{gathered} a_c=\frac{v^2}{r} \\ r=\frac{v^2}{a_c} \\ r=\frac{(343m/s)^2}{49m/s^2} \\ r=2401\text{ m} \end{gathered}$

The minimum radius not to exceed the centripetal acceleration is 2401 m.

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the Doppler effect. According to this concept, it is understood as the increase or decrease of the frequency of a sound wave when the source that produces it and the person who captures it move away from each other or approach each other. Mathematically this can be described as

$f = f_0 (\frac{v-v_0}{v})$
