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.

Answer from: emely1415

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.

Aspring with a mass of 2 kg has a damping constant 14 kg/s. a force of 3.6 n is required to keep the spring stretched 0.3 m beyond its natural length. the spring is stretched 0.6 m beyond its natural length and then released. find the position of the mass at any time t. (assume that movement to the right is the positive x-direction and the spring is attached to a wall at the left end.)
