Answer:

Olaus Roemer, Christian Huygens, and Albert Michelson

(Straight out of physics textbook)

Explanation:

The first experiment that was made to measure the speed of light was by Danish astronomer Olaus Roemer. To do this he made precise measurements of Jupiter’ s moon, comparing his observations. Christian Huygens corrected this variation, using the formula, speed of light=d/t. (d) being the distance traveled and (t) being extra time measured, resulting in the speed of light. Albert Michelson was an American physicist who conducted the most famous experiment. He used mirror arrangement to measure the speed of light. The light is reflected back to the eyepiece when the mirror is at rest. These are three experiments conducted that helped to calculate the speed of light.

The first experiment that was made to attempt to measure the speed of light involved detonating gunpowder by Isaac Beeckman. He declared that his experiment was inconclusive. Galileo also tried to measure the speed of light using two lanterns placed across each other. The next experiment involved planets where Ole Romer based his calculation on its movements. The final calculations were derived from different theories by different scientists including Maxwell until it ended up with the exact value for the speed of light.

gayaneshka [121]
There you go!
as it is unnecessary to find velocity, so use the equation with v
remember to take all directions downwards as it is more convenient to calculate
after substituting the values, you have to reject the negative answed as time must be+

How is the concentration of H3O+ Ions is an OH-ions different and acid solution in a basic solution
mamaluj [8]

Explanation:

In an acid solution, the concentration of H₃O⁺ ions is more than OH⁻

In a basic solution, the concentration of OH⁻ is more than that of H₃O⁺

By definition:

According to Arrhenius theory;

An acid is a substance that interacts with water to produce excess hydroxonium ions, H₃O⁺ in an aqueous solution. The hydroxonium ions formed as a result of the chemical bonding between the oxygen of water molecules and the protons released by the acid due to its ionization.

A base is a substance that interacts with water to produce excess hydroxide ions, OH⁻ in an aqueous solution. The common bases are NaOH and KOH

A brass cube, 10 cm on a side, is raised in temperature
lana [24]

Answer:

\delta L\%=22.5\%

Explanation:

<em>Assuming that the thermal expansion of brass cube occurs isotropically (i.e. equal in all the directions).</em>

Given:

  • length of the cube, l=10\ cm=0.1\ m
  • change in temperature of the cube, \Deta T=200\^{\circ}C
  • coefficient of volume expansion, \beta=57\times 10^{-6}\ ^{\circ}C^{-1}

<u>Hence volume of the cube:</u>

V=10^{-3}\ m^3

Now the volume of the cube after expansion:

\delta V=V.\beta.\Delta T

\delta V=10^{-3}\times 57\times 10^{-6}\times 200

\delta V=1.14\times 10^{-5}\ m^3

Therefore,

\delta L=0.0225\ m

<u>Now the percentage change in the edges of the cube:</u>

\delta L\%=\frac{\delta L}{L} \times 100

\delta L\%=\frac{0.0225}{0.1} \times 100

\delta L\%=22.5\%
