Question
Chapter 27, Problem 1CQ
To determine
To explain: Whether there is an experiment could be done to demonstrate that we are moving while those on the ground are at rest.
Expert Solution & Answer

Explanation of Solution
If the case considered is that the airplane is moving with a constant velocity such that we are in an inertial reference frame then there is no such experiment that can be carried out to affirm that people on the ground are at rest and we are moving.
Conclusion:
Hence, the reason is explained.

The tow cable is under tension and therefore pulls downward and to the left on the pin at its upper end. The light pin is held in equilibrium by forces exerted by the two bars A and B. Each bar is a strut: that is, each is a bar whose weight is small com-pared to the forces it exerts, and which exerts forces only through hinge pins at its ends. Each strut exerts a force directed parallel to its length. (i) Determine the force of tension or compression in each strut. Proceed as follows: Make a guess as to which way (pushing or pulling) each force acts on the top pin. (4) (ii) Draw a free-body diagram of the pin. Use the condition for equilibrium of the pin to translate the free-body diagram into equations. From the equations calculate the forces exerted by struts A and B. 4A negative answer means the direction should be reversed, but the absolute value correctly gives the magnitude of the force.

To the right is a diagram of the various layers (thicknesses to scale) and the definition of the bending radius (not to scale). Kiran needs to route a beam of A = 1550 nm light through a tight mechanical setup and needs to keep the curves larger than the listed minimum bend radius (Long Term).

- 1. Tobenna is visiting the penguin exhibit at a zoo. He sees a penguin swimming underwater, using its beak to look for food at the bottom of the tank. According to a tour guide, the tank is 2.0 m deep. The index of refraction of the water is the usual one of 1.33, and Tobenna is standing right at the edge of the tank. a) Tobenna's excellent depth perception tells him the penguin is 5.3 m away. He has taken PHYS 102 so he knows that this is just an apparent distance. Determine the apparent and actual horizontal distances of the penguin from the edge of the tank. b) If Tobenna crouches down so his head is only 1.0 m above the ground, will he perceive the penguin to be closer or further from the wall than in a)? c) Is there a place where Tobenna could stand where he would not see the penguin at all, despite being able to draw a straight line between his eyes and the penguin?
