An animation of revolving circles is shown on the left. If it is flipped horizontally and then flipped vertically, what will be the resulting animation?
To understand the resulting animation after a horizontal and vertical flip, we need to visualize how these transformations affect the image.
The process involves two transformations:
Horizontal Flip: This flip mirrors the image along the vertical axis. Each element in the image swaps its left and right positions.
Vertical Flip: This follows the horizontal flip and mirrors the image along the horizontal axis, swapping the top and bottom positions.
For visual clarity, let's consider each transformation step-by-step:
Initial Animation: Identifying initial positions and orientations as reference.
After Horizontal Flip: Everything on the rightmost side moves to the leftmost side and vice versa.
After Vertical Flip: Everything on the top moves to the bottom and vice versa.
Once both flips are applied to the given animation, the resulting configuration of circles is depicted in . This image corresponds to the final visual arrangement after both transformations.
This systematic flipping method confirms that the resulting animation is indeed represented by the correct option.
