"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.arrow_forwardQuestion 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.

- 14141414 As part of a department store display, a model train D runs on a slight incline between the store's up and down escalators. When the train and shoppers pass point A, the train appears to the shopper on the up escalator B to move downward at an angle of 22° with the horizontal, and to a shopper on the down escalator C to move upward at an angle of 23° with the horizontal to travel to the left. Knowing that the speed of the escalators is 3 ft/s, determine the direction (in degrees) of the train. Indicate if it is "up to the right", "up to the left", "down to the right", or "down to the left", along with the angle of inclination from the horizontal. 30° D 30°arrow_forwardA soda straw is stuck into water at an angle of 36° to the vertical.

- A ray of light falls perpendicularly on a small plane mirror. The mirror reflects this ray onto a wall that is parallel to the mirror at a distance of 1 m. When you rotate the mirror from an angle of 8,0 º, what is the displacement on the wall of the light point where the ray is incident?
