How could you change the size of your shadow?
You can either move closer to the light source or move the light source closer to you. The size of your shadow just depends upon how much of the light you are obscuring so the more you block out, the bigger your shadow.
Why do opaque objects make clearer shadows?
they form clearer objects
What objects do not create shadows and why?
Transparent objects becasue light passes through them. And it wont make a shadow
Why does a rounders post make a shadow?
opaque
What causes a shadow to form?
An object (Materials) that does not allows anylight to pass through will form a shaddow:Eg.- Opaque ( Can't let any light to pass through)- Translucent (Allows a little bit of light to pass through)If you want to make sure Im correct do this experiment:Instruments:- A Cloth ( Opaque)- A torch- A Tracing paper ( Translucent)- A screenPlaces to do:- A dark roomHow to do? :- Use your torch and shone on the cloth facing on the screen, what will you see?- Use your torch and shone on the tracing paper on the screen, what will you see?You will see an unclear shadow and a clear shdow on the screen! You may also add one more item a Transparent object! You will see I'm quite correct...Shadows are formed by light, because if light shines onto an object, and the object blocks the light, the light will go sideways of the object, and therefore, a shadow is formed.Light can only travel in straight lines. If light is coming from one main source, then an object that does not allow light to pass through it, will have an absence of light behind it, i.e.a shadow.
How can you make shadow bigger?
If you put your object further backwards your shadow will become bigger but if you put your object more forwards your shadow will become smaller!
How do you make a shadow bigger or smaller?
if an object is moved closer to the light source, the shadow gets bigger,if it goes further away,the shadow gets smaller
How do you make a smaller and sharper shadow when you cannot move the object?
Manipulate the light around it.
Describe three factors that determine the size of a shadow and explain how each one cam make the shadow larger or smaller?
The height of the object casting the shadow, the height of the sun in the sky, what angle you are at when looking at the shadow.

Is it possible to make an object without shadow?
no its not. since when light falls on the (object) it will create a shadow.
Do eyes make object smaller?
No, eyes do not make objects smaller. The image of an object on the retina is smaller than the object itself.
Does every object make a shadow?
no some types of glass can have no shadow

Is an object traveling at a constant velocity acceleration?
your question is not quite clear ... make it clearer please
How does the size of the source affect the shadow of the object?
A bigger source will cast a fuzzier, less distinct shadow. A single point source, infinitely small, will on the other hand cast a perfectly defined shadow with an abrupt edge. The shadow is likely to be a good image of the object that casts it. But imagine standing in the shadow of an object shading you from a larger light source, like the moon. As you move your head, sometimes the moon's disc will only partially be obscured, and sometimes completely. The area of the shadow where the light is only partly blocked is the penumbra. A limited region of the shadow is shaded entirely from the light source: this is the umbra. The specific effect of enlarging a light source is to make the penumbra bigger and the umbra smaller. More areas will receive less than 100% of the light, but a smaller area will be 100% shadow - hence the blurring effect. Light and shadow are more evenly distributed. Overall, the area in some degree of shadow will increase. Try observing the shadow of your finger under artificial lighting at home: the dark umbra should be visible, and the grey penumbra where the shadow fades continously away to nothing. The blurring will also be exacerbated by moving your finger away from the surface onto which its shadow falls. Note that it is the angular size of the source that really matters. The sun is huge, but since it is so distant its angular diameter is only half a degree, so it casts fairly sharp shadows.
What object make Shadow's?
What kind of question is that? Think about it and take a good look around.
