An albatross is 5 meters above the surface of the ocean. How does its distance from the surface compare to the vertical distance from the eyes of: The jumping dolphin? The flying seagull? The octopus?

Answer :

Answer:

The jumping dolphin --  changes

The flying seagull -- same

The octopus --  same

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance of the Albatross from the sea surface when compared to the vertical distance from the eyes of the :

The jumping dolphin :

As the dolphin jumps out from the sea, the vertical distance of the albatross from the surface seems to be decreasing and then increasing as seen by the jumping dolphin.

The flying seagull :

The distance of the albatross is at the same height as seen by the seagull since it is flying at the same level, i.e. at the level of the sea surface

The octopus :

The octopus remains at the same depth below the water surface. So the distance of the albatross for the octopus remains the same at 5 m above the ocean surface.
