If you were trying to cross a river with the shortest possible time, would you aim your boat slightly upstream, directly across

the river, or slightly downstream?

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

olya-2409 [2.1K]

Explanation:

When Michelson-Morley apparatus is turned through $90^{o}$ then position of two mirrors will be changed. The resultant path difference will be as follows.

$\frac{lv^{2}}{\lambda c^{2}} - (-\frac{lv^{2}}{\lambda c^{2}}) = \frac{2lv^{2}}{\lambda c^{2}}$

Formula for change in fringe shift is as follows.

n = $\frac{2lv^{2}}{\lambda c^{2}}$

$v^{2} = \frac{n \lambda c^{2}}{2l}$

v = $\sqrt{\frac{n \lambda c^{2}}{2l}}$

According to the given data change in fringe is n = 1. The data is Michelson and Morley experiment is as follows.

l = 11 m

$\lambda = 5.9 \times 10^{-7} m$

c = $3.0 \times 10^{8}$ m/s

Hence, putting the given values into the above formula as follows.

v = $\sqrt{\frac{n \lambda c^{2}}{2l}}$

= $\sqrt{\frac{1 \times (5.9 \times 10^{-7} m) \times (3.0 \times 10^{8})^{2}}{2 \times 11 m}}$

= $2.41363 \times 10^{9} m/s$

Thus, we can conclude that velocity deduced is $2.41363 \times 10^{9} m/s$ .

A biker travels at an average speed of 18 km/hr along a 0.30 km straight segment of a bike path. How much time (in hours) does t

lawyer [7]

Answer: 0.016 h

Explanation:

$\text{Average speed} = \frac{\text {Total Distance}}{\text {total time taken}}$

It is given that, biker has an average speed = 18 km/h

Total distance traveled = 0.30 km

Therefore, time taken by biker to travel this distance:

$\Rightarrow \text{total time taken} = \frac{0.30 km}{18 km/h}=0.016 h$

Thus, the biker takes 0.016 hours to travel the segment of 0.30 km at an average speed of 18 km/h.

A bicycle tire rotates 25 times in 10 seconds. What is it’s average angular velocity?

ryzh [129]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

<u>Angular velocity of bicycle tire is 15.78 radians per second.</u>

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Angular velocity is the change in angular speed of an object with respect to time take for change or it is the rate of change of circular motion.

In the given question the circular displacement is 25 rounds around a central point.

The angular displacement is measured in degrees and 1 round is equal to 360 degrees.

25 Rounds = 25 × 360 = 9000 degrees.

Angular velocity = angular displacement /time = 9000/10 = 900 degrees per second.

In SI,angular velocity is represented in radians per second.

So, 1 radian = 57.29 degrees

Angular velocity = 15.78 radians per second
