We all use gps today, even if we don't drive yet. i bet you have been in the car with a parent and they have asked you to get out your phone to find a specific location. in your car, on the phone, you are using a very sophisticated technology. gps satellites circle the earth twice a day in a very precise orbit and transmit signal information to earth. gps receivers take this information and use trilateration to calculate the user's exact location. essentially, the gps receiver compares the time a signal was transmitted by a satellite with the time it was received. the time difference tells the gps receiver how far away the satellite is. now, with distance measurements from a few more satellites, the receiver can determine the user's position and display it on the unit's electronic map. what type of signal is utilized by the gps satellite?

You have been consulted by the mobile phone company hookup about a new augmented reality product called “brows”. they want to develop an alternative to google glasses, which, you recall, is a proposed new product which plans to superimpose a whole range of wireless google services over the user’s ordinary vision of the world. these appear in little circles and ovals, and let you phone people, take photographs, navigate across cities and inside buildings, find shops and update your social media. brows would do this too, but not be limited to special google services. the user would wear a small cylinder-shaped device designed to fit on top of their existing eyewear (glasses or sunglasses). it would project a reversed image onto the inside of the lenses, the reflection of which would be in focus for the user. instead of voice control, the user would control the device by eye and neck movements, which the device would track. the device would connect via bluetooth to the user’s phone, which would supply most of the computing power and wireless connectivity. hookup also wants to know what existing services would be most in demand, and which would not work well with brows. using your knowledge of augmented reality, wearable technology and interface design, is the project feasible? if not, why not? if feasible, how could the product need to be modified for a better experience?

First, launch the video below. you will be asked to use your knowledge of physics to predict the outcome of an experiment. then, close the video window and answer the question at right. you can watch the video again at any point. part a as in the video, we apply a charge +q to the half-shell that carries the electroscope. this time, we also apply a charge –q to the other half-shell. when we bring the two halves together, we observe that the electroscope discharges, just as in the video. what does the electroscope needle do when you separate the two half-shells again? view available hint(s) as in the video, we apply a charge + to the half-shell that carries the electroscope. this time, we also apply a charge – to the other half-shell. when we bring the two halves together, we observe that the electroscope discharges, just as in the video. what does the electroscope needle do when you separate the two half-shells again? it deflects more than it did at the end of the video. it deflects the same amount as at end of the video. it does not deflect at all. it deflects less than it did at the end of the video. submit
