Answer:

calculated the speed of light over a short distance

Explanation:

Albert Michelson <u>was an American physicist who conducted an experiment regarding the speed of light in the air 1880s.</u> He believed in the existence of "aether," a field of space that is deemed necessary for transporting electromagnetic forces. In order to do this, he setup a device in order to accurately measure the speed of light in in aether. His device is now known as <u>"Michelson interferometer." </u><em>The result was actually negative. </em>

In order to make his experiment even more accurate, he collaborated with Edward Morley, a famous American scientist. Although the result failed, together, they were able to improve and come with the a standard length of light. This calculated the speed of light over a short distance, which was the significant result of Michelson's experiment.

Thus, this explains the answer.

Answer:

Technician A only

Explanation:

Both high-side pressures and low-side pressures are low with the engine running and the selector set to the air-conditioning position. Technician A says that the system is undercharged. Technician B says the cooling fan could be inoperative. Which technician is correct?

usually . An overcharged system will result in lower than normal low side pressures

An undercharged system will not enable  the compressor  to create pressure. As a result of the low amount of refrigerant, the cooling ability is reduced. When we say undercharged, we mean the refrigerant in the system is low, so the both the high side pressures and low side pressures will be low.

Answer:

15.3 s and 332 m

Explanation:

With the launch of projectiles expressions we can solve this problem, with the acceleration of the moon

    gm = 1/6 ge

    gm = 1/6  9.8 m/s² = 1.63 m/s²

We calculate the range

    R = Vo² sin 2θ  / g

    R = 25² sin (2 30) / 1.63

    R= 332 m

We will calculate the time of flight,

   Y = Voy t – ½ g t2  

   Voy = Vo sin θ

When the ball reaches the end point has the same initial  height Y=0

0 = Vo sin  t – ½  g t2

0 = 25 sin (30)  t – ½ 1.63 t2

0= 12.5 t –  0.815 t2

We solve the equation

0= t ( 12.5 -0.815 t)

 t=0 s

t= 15.3 s

The value of zero corresponds to the departure point and the flight time is 15.3 s

Let's calculate the reach on earth

R2 = 25² sin (2 30) / 9.8

R2 = 55.2 m

R/R2 = 332/55.2

R/R2 = 6

Therefore the ball travels a distance six times greater on the moon than on Earth

An office heater puts out 2050 btus of energy in the form of heat per hour. given that 1 btus =1.055 kj, how many megajoules of
ivolga24 [154]
<span>Assuming continuous operation (24/7), we can say that

Energy produced : Energy per hour * 24 (number of hours in a day) - 365 (number of days in a year.

Energy per hour: 2050 * 1.055 = 2162.75 kg.

So, we proceed to calculate the results

E: 2162.75 * 24 * 365 = 18,945,690 kj per year.

Now, we transform kj to megajoule, remembering that kilo is 10*3 and mega is 1'*6, so we divide the result by 1,000 in order to get the results in megajoules, and the answer would be:

18,945.69 megajoules can be produced per year.</span>
