Question

3. If you use a different object, like two Rubik's cubes instead of ping pong balls, will it cast
the same shape of shadow? Explain.​

Answer 1

Explanation:

No

Rubrics cubes will cast shadow in a form of square while ping pong ball is circle. If the shape of the earth is square, then moving around the earth is not possible.

Answer 2

No, They cause two different shadows.

• Rubik's cube is in square/cube shape, the shadow obtained would also be in the same shape.
• Ping-Pong balls are in a circular shape, the shadow obtained would also be in the same shape.
• Whenever a shadow of any object is projected, we get the shadow in the same shape as the original object.
• We cannot get a shadow of Rubik's cube in a circular shape.
