Answer:

e) indicated that the speed of light is the same in all inertial reference frames.

Explanation:

In 18th century, many scientists believed that the light just like air and water needs a medium to travel. They called this medium <em>aether</em>. They believed that even the space is not empty and filled with aether.

Michelson and Morley tried to prove the presence and speed of this aether through an interference experiment in 1887. They made an interferometer in which light was emitted at various angles with respect to the supposed aether. Both along the flow and against the flow to see the difference in the speed of light. But they did not find no major difference and thus it became the first proof to disprove the theory of aether.

It thus proved that the speed of light remains same in all inertial frames.

Also, it became a base for the special theory of relativity by Einstein.

Please help! A net force of 2.0 N acts on a 2.0-kg object for 10 seconds. What is the object’s kinetic energy after that 10 seco
padilas [110]
For Newton's second law, the force F applied to the object of mass m will cause an acceleration a of the body:
F=ma
So, the acceleration is 
a= \frac{F}{m}= \frac{2.0 N}{2.0 kg}=1 m/s^2

The object undergoes through this acceleration for 10 seconds, t=10 s. Since it is an accelerated motion, we can find its final velocity after 10 seconds:
v_f = v_i + at=0 m/s+(1m/s^2)(10 s)=10 m/s
where v_i is the initial velocity of the object, which is zero since it starts from rest.

Finally we can calculate the final kinetic energy of the object, which is given by
K= \frac{1}{2}mv^2= \frac{1}{2}(2.0 kg)(10 m/s)^2=100 J

How does water get up to the atmosphere, and how does it get back down to earth surface
IrinaK [193]

Answer:

Water gets up to the Earth's atmosphere by evaporating from a body of water, which is then they become water vapor. It returns back to the surface by returning back to its water state and falling back down (as rain). The water vapor turns into clouds (clouds are really just water droplets), and when it cannot hold anymore waters, it disperses all the water (by raining).
