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.

RoseWind [281]

Answer:

Work done against gravity will be

W = Mgℓ

Explanation:

Work done to raise the mass from ground to given height is against gravity

So here work done is given by the formula

W = F.d

here we know that

F = Mg

it is the force due to gravity which is also known as weight

so here distance moved by the object is given as

d = ℓ

now work done is given as

W = Mg ℓ

Georgia [21]
The source of information was biased. It was like walking along a river bank in the country and asking everybody you meet whether they like fishing. Or asking 500 people sitting in the bleachers whether they like baseball.
I'm sure the scientist would have gotten different data if she interviewed 500 teenagers at neighborhood basketball courts, or 500 teenagers at a rock concert.

1. Determine the image distance in each of the following.
miskamm [114]

It is given that for the convex lens,

Case 1.

u=−40cm

f=+15cm

Using lens formula

v

v=+24.3cm

The image in formed in this case at a distance of 24.3cm in left of lens.

Case 2.

A point source is placed in between the lens and the mirror at a distance of 40 cm from the lens i.e. the source is placed at the focus of mirror, then the rays after reflection becomes parallel for the lens such that

u=∞

f=15cm

Now, using mirror’s formula
