In a room with no windows, Zarina spins a toy top on the floor and then observes it from her standing position. Kasper, who is the same height as Zarina, is seated on the floor next to the spinning top. What difference will there be in what Zarina and Kasper see? Respond very briefly.
Zarina, observing from a standing position, will perceive the spinning top at a down-angle, giving her a wider view that includes the top of the toy and some of the sides as it spins, allowing her to see more of the pattern or design on the top of the spinning toy. On the other hand, Kasper will observe the spinning top from a closer and lower perspective, being seated on the floor. His viewpoint will be more horizontal, closer to the level of the top, thus he will see the sides of the spinning top more directly and have a more limited view of the design on the top, compared to Zarina. The difference in their vertical positions relative to the top leads to this dissimilarity in perspective and what they can see.
