Moon effect. Some people believe that the Moon controls their activities. If the Moon moves from being directly on the opposite side of Earth from you to being directly overhead, by what percentage does (a) the Moon's gravitational pull on you increase and (b) your weight (as measured on a scale) decrease? Assume that the Earth-Moon (center-to-center) distance is 3.82 x 10® m, Earth's radius is 6.37 x 10° m, Moon's mass is 7.36 x 1022 kg, and Earth's mass is 5.98 x 1024 kg.

A standard science experiment is to drop a ball and see how high it bounces. Once the “bounciness” of the ball has been determined, the ratio gives a bounciness index. For example, if a ball dropped from a height of 10 feet bounces 6 feet high, the index is 0.6 and the total distance traveled by the ball is 16 feet after one bounce. If the ball were to continue bouncing, the distance after two bounces would be 10 ft + 6 ft + 6 ft + 3.6 ft = 25.6 ft. Note that distance traveled for each successive bounce is the distance to the floor plus 0.6 of that distance as the ball comes back up. Write a program that lets the user enter the initial height of the ball and the number of times the ball is allowed to continue bouncing. Output should be the total distance traveled by the ball. Please name your function "bounce" that has three arguments (initial height, index, number of bounce) and return the total distance traveled by the ball.

What is the difference of the meaning of the word ray in math and in computer science? In both areas, the meaning is that a ray is a directed line segment. In both areas, the meaning is that a ray is “half” of a line that has an origin and extends infinitely in one direction. Computer science: A ray is “half” of a line that has an origin and extends infinitely in one direction. Math: A ray is a directed line segment. Computer science: A ray is a directed line segment.

This is a Computer Graphics Question on Phong's Lighting Model. Question: A light source with intensity 50 and radius of influence 100 is located at (4,2,93) from which you are called to calculate the illumination of a point on the yz plane. For no shiny surface and negligible ambient light, find the point on the surface with the highest illumination and light intensity at that point. Given the diffuse coefficient is 0.7.

Lesson: Application of Computer Graphics Given an orthographic camera with direction d, up u, and center c properties (size is fixed to 1), show the formula for generating a ray for point (x, y) in the screen (0,0 <= x, y <= 1,1). Remember, a ray has an origin and a direction.
Determining the Strike Location: As shown in Figure 1 below, the asteroid will follow the path of an ellipse described by the following equation (distance in units of km): (x- 25,000)? 25,000? = 1 20,000? The Earth's center is located at the left focus of the ellipse (x = 10,000 km, y = 0 km), and the Earth has a radius of 6,371 km. Astrophysicists at NASA have already determined the optimal time to launch the rocket. In the plane of Figure 1, the rocket platform at the time of launch will be located at (x = 13,186 km, y = 5,517.4 km). The rocket can only shoot straight up from the surface of the Earth, meaning it must follow a linear path with the following equation: у %3D1.7321х —17,321 You must use the Newton-Raphson method to determine the (x, y) location at which the rocket will strike the asteroid (that is, the intersection between the elliptical path of the asteroid and the linear path of the rocket). Then find the distance from the rocket platform to the location of the strike.…
