Visual angle. If an object stays the same size, then the visual angle it forms must change as we move closer or farther from it. Calculate the visual angle (in degrees) for each of the following stimuli. (You should only need your calculator for a; try b, c, and d without it):
a. A person whose height is 2 m, standing 100 m away (m)
b. The same person standing 200 m away
c. A child whose height is 1 m, viewed from 100 m.
d. The same child viewed from 50 m meters
Calculate the distance or size (in meters) of each of the following objects:
a. What is the height of a person standing 100 m away, whose visual angle is 1 deg?
b. What is the viewing distance if a coin that is 2 cm in diameter and forms a visual angle of 2 deg?

Aball is thrown from the top of a building with an initial velocity of 21.9 m/s straight upward, at an initial height of 51.6 m above the ground. the ball just misses the edge of the roof on its way down, as shown in the figure. (a) determine the time needed for the ball to reach its maximum height. (b) determine the maximum height. (c) determine the time needed for the ball to return to the height from which it was thrown, and the velocity of the ball at that instant. (d) determine the time needed for the ball to reach the ground. (e) determine the velocity and position of the ball at t = 5.35 s.
