A shift of one fringe in the michelson-morley experiment corresponds to a change in the round-trip travel time along one arm of

the interferometer by one period of vibration of light when the apparatus is rotated by 90 degrees. a particular interferometer has arm lengths of 8.50 meters, and is using light with a wavelength of 658 nm. what velocity through the ether would be deduced from a shift of one fringe?

Answer : [tex]v = 59.02\ km/s[/tex]

Explanation :  given that,

Arm length = 8.50 meters

Wavelength = 658 nm

Number of fringe = 1

We know that,

Formula of the speed is

v = c\sqrt\dfrac{N\lambda}{2L}

Now, put the values

v = 3\times10^{8}\ m/s\sqrt\dfrac{1\times658\times10^{-9}\ m}{2\times8.50\ m}

v = 590.21\times10^{2}\ m/s

v = 59.02\ km/s

Hence, this is the required solution.

What is the approximate amount of thrust you need to apply to the lander to keep it's velocity roughly constant
earnstyle [38]

The approximate amount of thrust(force) you need to apply to the lander to

keep its velocity roughly constant is zero.

<h3>What is Newton's second law of motion?</h3>

Newton's second law of motion states that the acceleration the force acting

on the object is directly proportional to its rate of change of momentum.

F = m a

If the object is moving with uniform velocity, it simply means that the

acceleration is zero, and  the corresponding force will also be zero.

Calculate the change in length of a Pyrex glass dish (Coefficient of linear expansion for Pyrex is 3 * 10-6 / oC) that is 0.25 m
DIA [1.3K]

9*10^{-5} m

Explanation:

Step 1:

We are given the initial length of the Pyrex glass dish at a particular temperature and need to calculate the change in the length when the temperature changes by 120° C. The coefficient of linear expansion of Pyrex is provided.

Step 2:

Change in length = Coefficient of linear expansion * Change in temperature * Initial length

Step 3:

Coefficient of linear expansion = 3*10^{-6} /°C

Change in temperature = 120°C = 120 K

Initial length = 0.25 m

Step 4:

Change in length = 3*10^{-6} * 120 * 0.25 = 9*10^{-5} m

Bess [88]

Answer:

C. 85%

Explanation:

A cylinder fitted with a piston exists in a high-pressure chamber (3 atm) with an initial volume of 1 L. If a sufficient quantity of a hydrocarbon material is combusted inside the cylinder to produce 1 kJ of energy, and if the volume of the chamber then increases to 1.5 L, what percent of the fuel's energy was lost to friction and heat?

A. 15%

B. 30%

C. 85%

D. 100%

work done by the system will be

W=PdV

p=pressure

dV=change in volume

3tam will be changed to N/m^2

3*1.01*10^5

W=3.03*10^5*(1.5-1)

convert 0.5L to m^3

5*10^-4

W=3.03*10^5*5*10^-4

W=152J

therefore

to find the percentage used

152/1000*100

15%

100%-15%

85% uf the fuel's energy was lost to friction and heat
