Answer:

1) designed to measure the difference in speed of light in different directions , 1887

Explanation:

1) This experiment was designed to measure the difference in speed of light in different directions and therefore find the speed of the ether.

2) was made in 1887

3) At that time it was assumed that it was the medium in which light traveled and it is everywhere

4) the speed of the wave depends on the characteristics of the medium where it travels,

for the one in a string depends on the tension and density

for an electromagnetic wave of the permittivity and permeability of the vacuum

5) In this type of interferometer the beam is divided into two rays

6) In his interrupter, he had to accurately measure the displacement of the fringes in a telescope, for which he had to minimize vibrations, he had problems in the movement of one of the arms, changes in temperature

7) In Michelsom's second experiment, the apparatus could measure 0.01 fringes by increasing the length of the arms by 11 m

8) The new interferometer floated on a bed of mercury

9) Couldn't measure any difference in speed of light in different directions

10) Physics was forced to eliminate the concept of ETHER

11) One of the principles of relativities that the speed of light is constant in all inertial efficiency systems

12) Michelson in 1907

13) It seems that Einstein did not know the results of this experiment

What is the value of Vo in the
notsponge [240]

Answer: 60m/s

Explanation:

From the diagram:

Θ = 30°

Vertical resolution (y-axis) :

Voy = VoSinΘ

g in the upward direction = negative (-) = - g

Vfinal = 0

Distance (H) traveled along y =

Time taken to reach maximum height :

From v = u + at

0 = usinΘ - gt

gt = usinΘ

t = usinΘ / g

Horizontal resolution:

S = ut + 1/2at^2

Substituting t = usinΘ / g ; Voy = usinΘ

S = (usinΘ × usinΘ / g) - 1/2 g × (usinΘ /g)^2

S = (u^2sin^2Θ / g) - (u^2sin^2Θ / 2g)

S = (u^2sin^2Θ) / 2g

Now if S = maximum height = 45m

Then,

45 = [Vo^2sin^2(30°)] / 2(10)

45 =[ Vo^2 * (0.5)^2] / 20

45 =( Vo^2 * 0.25) / 20

20 * 45 = Vo^2 * 0.25

900 / 0.25 = Vo^2

3600 = Vo^2

Vo = sqrt(3600)

Vo = 60m/s

Two separate but nearby coils are mounted along the same axis. A power supply controls the flow of current in the first coil, an
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

b.only when the current in the first coil changes.

Explanation:

An induced current flow in the second coil only when there is a change in current in the first cool. A steady current will produce no change in flux (due to magnetic effect of a current) by the first coil, and according to Faraday, induced current is only produced when there is a change in flux linkage.
