Textbook Question
Chapter 10.4, Problem 1cT
Three students are discussing their results from part B:
Student 1: I think that the image is closer to me than the pencil itself. The closer something is, the bigger it looks. Because the image of the pencil appears wider than the pencil itself, the image must be closer to me than the pencil.
Student 2: That sounds reasonable, but when I used parallax to determine the location of the image of the pencil, I found that it was farther from me than the pencil.
Student 3: “That doesn't make sense though. If the image were behind the pencil, then how could see the image? Wouldn't the pencil block my view of the imager?"
Do you agree or disagree with each of these students? Discuss your reasoning with your partners.

Please see question in the photo. You can just do part C. First image is the description of the question. Thank you!
A dog is pulling on his lead at an angle of 57 degrees with a force of 50 Newtons.
What is the force downward?
Newtons.
What is the force horizontally?
Newtons.
Note: You can type the trig in the answer box for all these problems. For example if the answer is
50cos(10), you can just type that into the answer box. To get inverse trig functions type arcsin, arccos
arctan.
I'm not sure if the first picture has anything to do with this problem, but I put it just incase.

- Student 1: The red light has a higher wavelength (A) than the blue light. Using the equation v = f* A, that shows that the red light has a larger velocity (v) as well. Student 2: But both kinds of light should be moving at the same speed, since they are both going through the same medium, space. I think the blue light needs to have a higher frequency than the red light, to make up for the red light's higher wavelength. Do you agree or disagree with either or both of the students?
