    How fast is the fly's shadow moving?

    OHH wait is the angle 66 degrees meant to be between the sunlight line and the vector 0.36.. sorry about that!! for the angle made with the south direction i'm a bit confused with what u are referring to..

    How fast is the fly's shadow moving?

    Would the velocity be parallel to the sunlight? soo this means that the vertical component of the velocity is in line with the sunlight...?

    How fast is the fly's shadow moving?

    Unfortunately no diagram...I have attached one i did myself.... I think i assumed so too? hence why i used cosx first

    How fast is the fly's shadow moving?

    Hii! i've attempted this question and guessed which componenet of the fly's velocity would determine the shadows velocity.... apparently it's the vertical compenent but i haven't got a clue why! i used cos(66)x0.36 to get 0.15 to two s.f and sin(66)x0.36 to give 0.33ms-1 with 0.33ms-1 being the...
