For the answer to the question above,
we can get the number of fringes by dividing (delta t) by the period of the light (Which is λ/c). 

fringe = (delta t) / (λ/c) 

We can find (delta t) with the equation: 

delta t = [v^2(L1+L2)]/c^3 

Derivation of this formula can be found in your physics text book. From here we find (delta t): 

600,000^2 x (11+11) / [(3x10^8)^3] = 2.93x10^-13 

2.93x10^-13/ (589x10^-9 / 3x10^8) = 149 fringes 

This answer is correct but may seem large. That is because of your point of reference with the ether which is usually at rest with respect to the sun, making v = 3km/s.

Will mark as BRAINLIEST....... The Displacement x of particle moving in one dimension under the action of constant force is rela
pentagon [3]

Explanation:

It is given that,

The Displacement x of particle moving in one dimension under the action of constant force is related to the time by equation as:

x=4t^3+3t^2-5t+2

Where,

x is in meters and t is in sec

We know that,

Velocity,

v=\dfrac{dx}{dt}\\\\v=\dfrac{d(4t^3+3t^2-5t+2)}{dt}\\\\v=12t^2+6t-5

(a) i. t = 2 s

v=12(2)^2+6(2)-5=55\ m/s

At t = 4 s

v=12(4)^2+6(4)-5=211\ m/s

(b) Acceleration,

a=\dfrac{dv}{dt}\\\\a=\dfrac{d(12t^2+6t-5)}{dt}\\\\a=24t+6

Pu t = 3 s in the above equation

So,

a=24(3)+6\\\\a=78\ m/s^2

Hence, this is the required solution.

#2 A car accelerates from rest at 4 m/s^2. What is the velocity of the car after 4 second?
solmaris [256]
You use the equation Velocity = Acceleration X Time. 4x4=16m/s.


The car travels 18m in 3 seconds.

You stand on a merry-go-round which is spinning at f = 0:25 revolutions per second. You are R = 200 cm from the center. (a) Find
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

(a) ω = 1.57 rad/s

(b) ac = 4.92 m/s²

(c) μs = 0.5

Explanation:

(a)

The angular speed of the merry go-round can be found as follows:

ω = 2πf

where,

ω = angular speed = ?

f = frequency = 0.25 rev/s

Therefore,

ω = (2π)(0.25 rev/s)

<u>ω = 1.57 rad/s </u>

(b)

The centripetal acceleration can be found as:

ac = v²/R

but,

v = Rω

Therefore,

ac = (Rω)²/R

ac = Rω²

therefore,

ac = (2 m)(1.57 rad/s)²

<u>ac = 4.92 m/s² </u>

(c)

In order to avoid slipping the centripetal force must not exceed the frictional force between shoes and floor:

Centripetal Force = Frictional Force

m*ac = μs*R = μs*W

m*ac = μs*mg

ac = μs*g

μs = ac/g

μs = (4.92 m/s²)/(9.8 m/s²)

<u>μs = 0.5</u>
