The tree's name is dwarf willow or Salix herbacea.

By definition a tree "is a woody plant with a single erect perennial trunk at least 3 inches in diameter at breast height (DBH)." Does that definition settle the argument that this woody plant is actually not a tree but a woody shrub.

add. Distinguishing Trees, Shrubs, and Bushes is an arbitrary affair. Whilst there is a distinction between herbs (annuals with rare exceptions), trees are a permanent biota, and are the longest-living life forms. Various 'authorities' give various dimensions for a tree, but there is no agreement. Some would even require a tree to have a single stem!

So, Of the branched, permanent flora, the shortest members are Raoulia, which sometimes top out at 30mm or less.

When would the shadow of the tree be shortest at midday or at sunset?

The shadow of a tree would be shortest at midday. This is when the sun is at its highest point in the sky, resulting in the sunlight hitting the tree at a steep angle, creating shorter shadows. At sunset, the sun is lower on the horizon, causing longer shadows to be cast by the tree.

If you were standing under a tree when would the shadow of the tree be shortest sunrise midday sunset?

The shadow of the tree would be shortest at midday when the sun is directly overhead. This is because the angle of the sunlight is most perpendicular to the tree, resulting in a shorter shadow. At sunrise and sunset, the angle of the sunlight is lower, creating longer shadows.

When is the shadow of a tree be the shortest?

The shadow of a tree is shortest when the sun is at its highest point in the sky, typically around noon. This occurs when the sun is directly overhead or at its zenith, resulting in minimal angular displacement of the shadows. The length of the shadow can also vary depending on the time of year and the geographic location, but generally, midday shadows are the shortest.


Why will the shortest paths tree returned by Dijkstra's algorithm never be a correct minimum spanning tree (MST)?

The shortest paths tree returned by Dijkstra's algorithm will never be a correct minimum spanning tree (MST) because Dijkstra's algorithm prioritizes finding the shortest path from a single source node to all other nodes, while a minimum spanning tree aims to connect all nodes in a graph with the minimum total edge weight without forming cycles. Dijkstra's algorithm does not consider the overall connectivity of the graph, leading to potential inconsistencies with the requirements of a minimum spanning tree.
