Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 1CC
Solution:
The speed of the light was so high that the distance travelled and time taken, were not easy to measure with accuracy.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
Speed is basically related to distance and time by the following relation:
The speed of light is
Explanation:
To measure the speed of any particle or substance, it is necessary to measure the travelled distance and time required to travel this distance. Now, as the speed is very high, that is,
Conclusion:
The speed of the light is huge because of which it was tough to measure.

A pendulum bob A (0.5 kg) is given an initialspeed of vA = 4 m/s when the chord ishorizontal. It then hits a stationary block B (1kg) which then slides to a maximum distanced before it stops. Determine the value of d.The coefficient of static friction between theblock and the plane is μk = 0.2. The coefficientof restitution between A and B is e = 0.8.Ans: d=1.0034 m

If the statement is false, correct the statement to make it true. 12. An object in uniform circular motion has a constant velocity while experiencing centripetal acceleration. 13. An object travelling in uniform circular motion experiences an outward centrifugal force that tends to pull the object out of the circular path. 14. An object with less inertia can resist changes in motion more than an object with more inertia. 15. For an object sliding on a horizontal surface with a horizontal applied force, the frictional force will always increase as the applied force increases.arrow_forward
