Purpose: experiments will use it to measure the straight-line accelerated motion of a human hand. The displacement data will be measured and velocity and acceleration will be calculated, run the ticker tape under the guides on the timer and under the carbon circle.Hope this helps! ; )
The speed of light is: c
= 3x10^8 m/s <span>
or
c = 186,000,000 miles/sec = 1.86x10^8 mi/s
1 furlong = 0.125 mile
1 fortnight = 2 weeks(7d/wk)(24h/d)(3600s/h)
= 1209600s = 1.2096x10^6 s
Therefore,
c =1.86x10^8 mi/s(1furl/0.125mi)(1.2096x10^6s/fort)
<span>c = 18x10^14 furlong/fortnight = 18x10^8 Mfurlong/fortnight</span></span>
