The first experiment that was made to attempt to measure the speed of light involved detonating gunpowder by Isaac Beeckman. He declared that his experiment was inconclusive. Galileo also tried to measure the speed of light using two lanterns placed across each other. The next experiment involved planets where Ole Romer based his calculation on its movements. The final calculations were derived from different theories by different scientists including Maxwell until it ended up with the exact value for the speed of light.

Olaus Roemer, Christian Huygens, and Albert Michelson

(Straight out of physics textbook)

Explanation:

The first experiment that was made to measure the speed of light was by Danish astronomer Olaus Roemer. To do this he made precise measurements of Jupiter’ s moon, comparing his observations. Christian Huygens corrected this variation, using the formula, speed of light=d/t. (d) being the distance traveled and (t) being extra time measured, resulting in the speed of light. Albert Michelson was an American physicist who conducted the most famous experiment. He used mirror arrangement to measure the speed of light. The light is reflected back to the eyepiece when the mirror is at rest. These are three experiments conducted that helped to calculate the speed of light.

Aparticle's position is given by x = 3.00 - 9.00t + 3t2, in which x is in meters and t is in seconds. (a) what is its velocity at t = 1 s? (b) is it moving in the positive or negative direction of x just then? (c) what is its speed just then? (d) is the speed increasing or decreasing just then? (try answering the next two questions without further calculation.) (e) is there ever an instant when the velocity is zero? if so, give the time t; if not, answer "0". (f) is there a time after t = 3 s when the particle is moving in the negative direction of x? if so, give the time t; if not, answer "0".

22. the top of a cliff is located a distance h above the ground. at a distance h/2 there is a branch that juts out from the side of the cliff, and on this branch a bird's nest is located. two children throw stones at the nest with the same initial speed, one stone straight downward from the top of the cliff and the other stone straight upward from the ground. in the absence of air resistance, which stone hits the nest in the least amount of time?
