You are a detective interviewing someone who says that (while sitting on a porch that you know to be 600ft away) he saw the masked suspect commit the crime in broad daylight. "How do you know it was the suspect?" you ask. "I clearly saw the 'MOM' that is tattooed on his upper arm." "You're sure it was that particular tattoo and not some other tattoo?" "Yes, I'm sure," The witness replies. The suspect's tattoo has letters that are 6cm tall. Is the witness credible, or might he be framing the suspect? Justify your response and any estimates you might make.

A catfish is 2.00 m below the surface of a smooth lake. (a)What is the diameter of the circle on the surface through which the fish can see the world outside the water? (b) If the fish descends, does the diameter of the circle increase, decrease, or remain the same?
A swimmer, who is looking up from under the water, sees a diving board directly above at an apparent height of 4 m above the water. What is the actual height of the diving board? 3.00 m 5.33 m 2.18 m 1.09 m
just after launch, the space shuttle flies straight up, and it takes 8.0 s to reach a speed of 160 km/hr. during this phase of the light, what is the apparent weight of the 72 kg astronaut onboard?
The answer in the back of the book is pasted in the image under the question, but I get a different answer: -1.46 i + 1.75 j. Please let me know which (if any) of the two are right. Thanks,
I need help with part a and b of this question! Thanks! For an independent study project, you design an experiment to measure the speed of light. You propose to bounce laser light off a mirror that is 51.0 km due east and have it detected by a light sensor that is 129 m due south of the laser. The first problem is to orient the mirror so that the laser light reflects off the mirror and into the light sensor. (a) Determine the angle that the normal to the mirror should make with respect to due west. ANS:____º Since you can read your protractor only so accurately, the mirror is slightly misaligned and the actual angle between the normal to the mirror and due west exceeds the desired amount by 0.003°. Determine how far south you need to move the light sensor in order to detect the reflected laser light. ANS:_____ m
A man 1.80 m tall stands in front of a mirror and sees his full height, no more and no less. If his eyes are 0.14 m from the top of his head, what is the minimum height of the mirror?
Question 1a. A soccer goal, found is a city park, is made up of tubing that supports an odd-shaped hanging net behind the goal, but has a rectangular opening infront. The height of the opening is 2.5m and the width is 3.2m. If a uniform E-field, with a magnitude of 0.1N/C, passes through the goal from the front to the back, entering at 90 degrees to the plane of the goal opening, what is the flux through the net? Also, find the flux through the net if the E-fieldenters the goal at 60 degrees angle to the plane of the front goal. In both cases, assume that there no charge found inside the goal itself. CR (10)b. Show that the D field due to a point charge has a divergence of zero E(5)c.Find the charge in the volume defined 1 ≤ r ≤ 2m in spherical coordinates, if P=(c/m)
At 3:00 PM a man 135 cm tall casts a shadow 150 cm long. At the same time, a tall building nearby casts a shadow 164 m long. How tall is the building? Give your answer in meters. (You may need the fact that 100 cm = 1 m.)
In a problem with a train and two observers, one (A) standing next to the rail while the other one (B) sittingat the rear endof the train. The train is moving seen by Awhile it is stationary seen by B. Event 1: B turns on a flash light in his hand aiming at a mirror hanging at the front end of the train; Event 2: the light illuminated on the mirror and reflected; Event 3: the reflected light reached B. Which time intervals of a pairs of events measured by an observer is considered as proper time and why? (The answer can be more than 1 or just 1 or even none of them.) (a) Event 1 and Event 2 observed by A; (b) Event 1 and Event 3 observed by A; (c) Event 2 and Event 3 observed by A; (d) Event 1 and Event 2observed by B; (e) Event 1 and Event 3 observed by B; (f) Event 2 and Event 3 observed by B
