Motion in Two and Three Dimensions: Vectors
... • In the previous lecture, we analyzed the motion of a particle moving vertically under gravity. • In this lecture and the next, we’ll generalize to the case of a particle moving in two or three dimensions under gravity, like a projectile. • First we must generalize displacement, velocity and accele ...

... experiment tests for a velocity dependence in the speed of light. It used a similar interferometer to MM, but one arm was much longer than the other. Alternatively, an atomic clock can be used for one arm. This makes it sensitive to the distortion of time with velocity, which could affect the speed ...
