It is written in the text that light traveling horizontallyacross the continental United States should fall about1 mm due to gravity. Determine the approximate verticalfall for light traveling from Los Angeles to NewYork City.
PHYS 1010 Notes Week 3 Jan 2529 Motion Equations V F= V 0 at X F = 0v t 0 (1/2) at 2 (x, y): position v: velocity a: acceleration (gravity is constant and downward) t: time F: final; 0: initial V Xwill remain constant V will lessen to the peak and then greaten because of gravity Y Force: a push or pull, which causes an object to accelerate Newtonian mechanics: foundations of physics that works well for "everyday" physical events Vectors (have a magnitude and direction) Use vector addition techniques
