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.

if the Horse and Rider have a combined mass of 572 kg what force would be required to accelerate them 5 kph per second
Vlad [161]

Answer:

   Force required to accelerate = 794.44 N

Explanation:

 Force required = Mass of horse x Acceleration of horse

 Mass of horse and rider, m=   572 kg

 Acceleration of horse and rider, a = 5 kph per second

                                      =\frac{5*1000}{60*60} =1.39 m/s^2

  Force required = ma

                             = 572 x 1.39 = 794.44 N

  Force required to accelerate = 794.44 N

An electron moving in the direction of the +x-axis enters a magnetic field. If the electron experiences a magnetic deflection in
Gnom [1K]

Answer:

<em>-z axis</em>

Explanation:

According to the left hand rule for an electron in a magnetic field, hold the thumb of the left hand at a right angle to the rest of the fingers, and the rest of the fingers parallel to one another. If the thumb represents the motion of the electron, and the other fingers represent the direction of the field, then the palm will push in the direction of the force on the electron. In this case, the left hand will be held out with the thumb pointing to the right (+x axis), and the palm facing your body (-y axis). The magnetic field indicated by the other fingers will point down in the the -z axis.

2 objects have a total momentum of 400kg m/s, they collide. Object A’s mass is5kg &amp; object B’s mass is 11kg. After the colli
ss7ja [257]

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall apply law of conservation of momentum .

Momentum before collision = momentum after collision .

Momentum before collision = 400 kg m/s

Momentum after collision = 5  x v + 11 x 15

where v is velocity of A after the collision .

5  x v + 11 x 15 = 400

5 v = 400 - 165

5v = 235

v = 47 m /s .

A model rocket blasts off from the ground, rising straight upward with a constant acceleration that has a magnitude of 86.0 m/s2
Harman [31]
<span>When the fuel  of the rocket is consumed, the acceleration would be zero. However, at this phase the rocket would still be going up until all the forces of gravity would dominate and change the direction of the rocket. We need to calculate two distances, one from the ground until the point where the fuel is consumed and from that point to the point where the gravity would change the direction. 

Given:
a = 86 m/s^2 
t = 1.7 s

Solution:

d = vi (t) + 0.5 (a) (t^2) 
d = (0) (1.7) + 0.5 (86) (1.7)^2 
d = 124.27 m 

vf = vi + at 
vf = 0 + 86 (1.7) 
vf = 146.2 m/s (velocity when the fuel is consumed completely) 

Then, we calculate the time it takes until it reaches the maximum height.
vf = vi + at 
0 = 146.2 + (-9.8) (t) 
t = 14.92 s

Then, the second distance
d= vi (t) + 0.5 (a) (t^2) 
d = 146.2 (14.92) + 0.5 (-9.8) (14.92^2) 
d = 1090.53  m

Then, we determine the maximum altitude:
 d1 + d2 = 124.27 m + 1090.53 m = 1214.8 m</span>
