Answer: A. a basketball being shot toward the basket
Explanation: The definition of projectile motion is the motion of an object thrown or projected into the air, subject to only the acceleration of gravity. So, the basketball is the object being thrown and the person throwing the ball is aiming it to go into the basket making that the path of trajectory. Hope that makes sense and helps!
Answer:
θ=180°
Explanation:
The problem says that the vector product of A and B is in the +z-direction, and that the vector A is in the -x-direction. Since vector B has no x-component, and is perpendicular to the z-axis (as A and B are both perpendicular to their vector product), vector B has to be in the y-axis.
Using the right hand rule for vector product, we can test the two possible cases:
- If vector B is in the +y-axis, the product AxB should be in the -z-axis. Since it is in the +z-axis, this is not correct.
- If vector B is in the -y-axis, the product AxB should be in the +z-axis. This is the correct option.
Now, the problem says that the angle θ is measured from the +y-direction to the +z-direction. This means that the -y-direction has an angle of 180° (half turn).
The point of contact the path difference is zero but one of the interfering ray is reflected so the effective path difference becomes λ/2 thus the condition of minimum intensity is created in the center.
It depends. If you are driving and the person doesn't look like a serial killer, you should stop.
