Question 8

Match the base velocity image features with the location indicated by the letters. (Use the selection box to choose the best answer.)

a) Location A: select Stationary or motion perpendicular to the radar Motion toward the radar Motion away from the radar

The correct answer is "Motion toward the radar".

b) Location B: select Stationary or motion perpendicular to the radar Motion toward the radar Motion away from the radar

The correct answer is "Motion away from the radar".

c) Location C: select Stationary or motion perpendicular to the radar Motion toward the radar Motion away from the radar

The correct answer is "Stationary or motion perpendicular to the radar".

The correct answers are shown above.
