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.

A planet of mass 7.00 1025 kg is in a circular orbit of radius 6.00 1011 m around a star. The star exerts a force on the planet
BARSIC [14]

Answer:

A) 1.88 * 10^17 m

B) 1.22 * 10^34 J

C) 1.95 * 10^34 J

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Mass of planet = 7.00 * 10^25 kg

Radius of orbit = 6.00 * 10^11 m

Force exerted on planet = 6.51 * 10^22 N

Velocity of planet = 2.36 * 10^4 m/s

A) The distance traveled by the planet is half of the circumference of the orbit (which is circular).

The circumference of the orbit is

C = 2 * pi * R

R = radius of orbit

C = 2 * 3.142 * 6.0 * 10¹¹

C = 3.77 * 10¹² m

Hence, distance traveled will be:

D = 0.5 * 3.77 * 10¹²

D = 1.88 * 10 ¹² m/s

B) Work done is given as:

W = F * D

W = 652 * 10²² * 1.88 * 10¹¹

W = 1.22 * 10³⁴ J

C) Change in Kinetic energy is given as:

K. E. = 0.5 * m * v²

K. E. = 0.5 * 7 * 10^25 * (2.36 * 10^4)²

K. E. = 1.95 * 10³⁴ J
