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.

Taya2010 [7]

Answer: The magnitude of the current in the second wire 2.67A

Explanation:

Here is the complete question:

Two straight parallel wires are separated by 7.0 cm. There is a 2.0-A current flowing in the first wire. If the magnetic field strength is found to be zero between the two wires at a distance of 3.0 cm from the first wire, what is the magnitude of the current in the second wire?

3. You are flying 2586 miles from San Francisco to New York. An hour into the flight, you are 600
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

268.2 m/s (1dp)

Explanation:

600 miles = 965,606m (1mile = 1609.34m)

965606/60 = 16,0943.43 ..... (metres traveled every minute)

16,0943.43/60 = 268.2238 .....

A 30.0-kg child sits on one end of a long uniform beam having a mass of 20.0 kg, and a 40.0-kg child sits on the other end. The
qaws [65]

let the length of the beam be "L"

from the diagram

AD = length of beam = L

AC = CD = AD/2 = L/2

BC = AC - AB = (L/2) - 1.10

BD = AD - AB = L - 1.10

m = mass of beam = 20 kg

m₁ = mass of child on left end = 30 kg

m₂ = mass of child on right end = 40 kg

using equilibrium of torque about B

(m₁ g) (AB) = (mg) (BC) + (m₂ g) (BD)

30 (1.10) = (20) ((L/2) - 1.10) + (40) (L - 1.10)

L = 1.98 m

A 5.0-kg box has an acceleration of 2.0 m/s2 when it is pulled by a horizontal force across a surface with μK = 0.50. Find the w
Maslowich

Answer:a) 34.5 N; b) 24.5 N; c) 10 N; d) 1J

Explanation: In order to solve this problem we have to used the second Newton law given by:

∑F= m*a

F-f=m*a where f is the friction force (uk*Normal), from this we have

F= m*a+f=5 Kg*2 m/s^2+0.5*5Kg*9.8 m/s^2= 34.5 N

then f=uk*N=0.5*5Kg*9.8 m/s^2= 24.5N

the net Force = (34.5-24.5)N= 10 N

Finally the work done by the net force is equal to kinetic energy change so

W=∫Force net*dr= 10 N* 0.1 m= 1J

3. a) If the distance between two objects increases by a factor of 5 (5),
irina [24]

Answer:

Answer for A

Explanation:

F1=GmM/r1^2

If r2 becomes r2=5r

F2=GmM/(25r^2)

Multiply with 25 gives to maintain the same force

I.e.,25F2=F1

F2=G(25m)M/25r^2=F1

By the factor 25 would change to increase to same.
