The two measurements necessary for calculating average speed are?
Distance covered (S) and the total time it took to cover that distance (T). Then the average speed V = S/T which is distance per time, known as speed.
What is the term for the relationship between the speed of light and the measurements of time and space?
Einstein's Theory of Relativity
The first estimation of the speed of light was based on observing?
lanterns
How we can calculate the velocity of light in water?
The following assumes you already know the speed of light in a vacuum. You can do measurements related to refraction, applying Snell's law to the angles you measure. This gives you the index of refraction.Once you know the index of refraction, you divide the speed of light in the vacuum by the index of refraction, to obtain the speed of light in water.
What represents the velocity of a light wave?
c = f x ^ (velocity)
What distance measurements based on the speed of light?
Light years are based on the speed of light. This particular measurement, which is used to measure astronomical distances to celestial objects, is the distance that light can travel in one year.One light year is equal to:0.31 parsecs63241 AU9.461×1012 km9.461×1015 meters5.879x1012 miles
Who is the scientist use the light year to measure the speed of light?
It doesn't work that way. The light-year is not used to measure the speed of light. It works the other way round: First, the speed of light is determined through other methods, then the distance called a light-year is calculated based on that measurements.
What is a measurement of distance based on the speed of light?
A unit that is commonly used in astronomy is the light-year - the distance light travels in a year.
What two measurements are invloved with speed?
Time and distance.
What measurements do you need to calculate the speed of a train?
distance travelled and time taken average speed = distance/time
What two measurements do you need to measure speed?
The distance and time.
Is speed and distance the same thing?
No, distance and speed are two separate measurements. Distance is how far an object moves relative to speed and time, and speed is how fast an object moves relative to time and distance.
What are the three measurements related to the study motion?
distance, speed, and time
The two measurements necessary for calculating average speed?
distance and time
What did Olaus Roemer discover about light?
In 1676 he made the first quantitative measurements of the speed of light.
The two measurements necessary for calculating average speed are?
Distance covered (S) and the total time it took to cover that distance (T). Then the average speed V = S/T which is distance per time, known as speed.
What is the trem for the relationship between the speed of light and the measurements of time and space?
Time and space are related by the speed of light space r=ct where t is time and c is the speed of light.
