Homework Statement
Well. the statement is explain the Aether Experiment.Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
What i gather is that MM threw a light source into a thing to split the light up and had to mirrors to reflect the light into the telescope. One going against and one going...
So the a is
so i got 26 1302.3256 ms0-2...
That means the g-forces are around 26 000 gs? That's seems to be a lot don't you think?? Also wikipedia says the acceleration isn't that high, but doesn't offer a solution
a = (1.06x104)2 / 2x215
Homework Statement
What are the acceleration of the cannon and the g-forces experienced if there was a guy on it...
Cannon is 215m long
Velocity is 1.66x10^4 ms^-2Homework Equations
V2=u2 + 2ay
The Attempt at a Solution
(1.66x104)^2=0 + 2xax215
a = (1.66x104)[SUP]^2/2x215Ok... So i think...
