Squirrel
Suppose a squirrel is behind the trunk of a tree, which it keeps between itself and a hunter who is circling the tree. In this case does the hunter actually walk around the squirrel?
Answer
Yes he does! To go around is to encircle entirely about. Therefore, this would ignore any rotary motion of the object being circled, in this case, the squirrel. The hunter does go around the squirrel since the hunter goes around the tree which the squirrel has not left.Hide Answer Show Answer
