Constancy of speed of light.

All observers measure the same speed of light,
no matter how any observer is moving.

The question is kind of awkward, though.  It seems to say that
people were having a hard time accepting this postulate of relativity,
until Michelson and Morley came along and did their experiment, and
their results gave Relativity a boost.

Actually, Michelson and Morley did their famous experiment in 1887.
At the time, Einstein was only 8 years old, and Relativity was not even
a twinkle in his eye yet.

What is the magnitude of the force that is exerted on a 20 kg mass to give it an acceleration of 10.0
ANEK [815]

Answer:Mass of the body = 20 kg.

Final Velocity = 5.8 m/s.

Initial velocity = 0

Time = 3 seconds.  

Using the Formula,  

Acceleration = (v - u)/ t

= (5.8 - 0)/ 3

= 1.6 m /s².

Now, Using the Formula,  

Force = mass × acceleration

= 20 × 1.6

=

Answer:

Explanation:

Conservation of momentum

Initial momentum is zero

3(15) + 2(v) = 0

v = - 22.5 m/s

v = 22.5 m/s downward

Sound waves, water waves, and light waves are all alike in that they all
Paha777 [63]
Sound and water waves are longitudinal waves, they require a medium to travel through and occilate particles 90 degrees to the wave motion
Light is a transverse wave. It doesnt require a medium to travel through.
All three reflect, refract and diffract


Light is difficult to think of because it acts in ways which waves cannot explain in some cirumstances. It acts like a particle (called photons) in some conditions, but acts like a normal sound or water wave does in others. Try not to get too caught up in light being a wave or a particle because even physists dont know how to explain it yet.

A certain car can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 7.9 s. What is the car's average acceleration in mph/s?
Anna007 [38]

Answer:

<em>a = 7.6\ mph/s</em>

Explanation:

<u>Motion With Constant Acceleration </u>

It's a type of motion in which the velocity of an object changes uniformly in time.

The equation that describes the change of velocities is:

v_f=v_o+at

Where:

a   = acceleration

vo = initial speed

vf  = final speed

t    = time

Solving the equation [for a:

\displaystyle a=\frac{v_f-v_o}{t}

The car accelerates from vo=0 to vf=60 mph in t=7.9 s, thus the acceleration is:

\displaystyle a=\frac{60 \ mph-0}{7.9}

a = 7.6\ mph/s
