Question
. Using the timing sensors, observe how long it takes for the light to travel 5.00 meters in the student’s reference frame. The simulation pauses when the light reaches the wall.
Then, change the velocity of the light source (which is the same as the professor’s velocity) as measured in the classroom reference frame, using the buttons on the control panel. The goal is to see if this affects the velocity of light. Calculate the light’s velocity in the student’s reference frame for several additional scenarios: The professor moving at a relatively slow velocity, the professor moving at a relatively moderate velocity, and the professor moving at a relatively rapid velocity.
7. What was Katherine's measurement of the horlzontal velocity of the light beam when the skateboard velocity was zero? Kinetic Books Interactive Problem 8. As the velocity of the professor's skateboard increased, did the light's horizontal velocity as measured in Katherine's reference frame decrease, increase or stay the same? All velocity is relative... or IS it? 9. Compare the results for the tennis ball experiment (Exercise 2A) with the results for the light beam experiment (Exercise 2B). We said earlier that the velocities of objects are not absolute, but are defined relative to the reference frames of observers. Did case for the tennis ball? Is it the case for light? 1.00 4.00 5.0 your experiment show this to be the Skateboard velocity 0.0×10 mis RESET An explanation of Exercise 2 AUSEExplanation / Answer
(A) Katherine's Measurement of the velocity of light will be same as light velocity ( 3*108 m/s) . There will be no changes in light velocity.
(B) Katherine measurement of the light velocity stays same even if professor skateboard velocity increases, because light velocity can not go beyond to 3*108 m/s.
(C) in tennis ball case , velocity will be not absolute however in light case , light velocity absoluted
