Tactile graphics

The svg file named Phy1080b1 contains a graph that shows the trajectory of the arrow for firing angles of both 45 degrees and 60 degrees. The vertical axisshows the height in feet and the horizontal axis shows the flight distance in feet.

The image contained in this file is shown in Figure 9 for the benefit of your assistant who will manually emboss the diagram. Note that as usual, this is amirror image of the image that is to be presented to the student after embossing. A non-mirror-image version is shown in Figure 10 .

Key-value pairs

The key-value pairs for the image in the file named Phy1080b1 are shown in Figure 11 .

Analysis of the output

Figure 8 contains the x and y coordinates of the arrow's position every 0.25 seconds from the time that it is released until it strikes the ground alittle less than 4.5 seconds later.

If you are unable to create tactile graphics based on the file named Phy1080b1.svg, I recommend that you plot the arrow's positions on your graph board in orderto get a feel for the shape of the trajectory This is a classic trajectory curve that applies to many different types of projectiles.

Compute for a different angle

Next, I recommend that you modify the script by changing the value of the variable named ang from 45 degrees to 60 degrees and load the modified version of the html file into your browser. This should produce the output shown in Figure 12 . This output is also plotted in the image in the file named Phy1080b1.svg.

what are pathogens
Don Reply
In biology, a pathogen (Greek: πάθος pathos "suffering", "passion" and -γενής -genēs "producer of") in the oldest and broadest sense, is anything that can produce disease. A pathogen may also be referred to as an infectious agent, or simply a germ. The term pathogen came into use in the 1880s.[1][2
