A) 1 Formulate two postulates of the Einstein’s special theory
of relativity.
2 According to the special theory of relativity, if you are in a
train that moves at nearly the speed of light what would you see if
you look into a mirror? Explain your answer.
b 1 What is the rest energy of a 130 g apple?
The rest energy, E0 =
2 The Sun loses about 4 million tonnes of mass each second due
to nuclear fusion....
Einstein's Theory of General Relativity can be
considered a "good theory."
a) What did this theory explain that other theories
could also explain?
b) What did this theory explain that other theories
could not explain?
c) What did this theory predict that nobody had
expected, but which were found experimentally?
1- How did Einstein's Theory of Special Relativity change the
world? Address ethical and spiritual consequences.
2- What element were Michelson and Morley trying to find with
their 20 years of experimentation? Why did Einstein say they
couldn't find it?
3-
Einstein's general theory of relativity is conceptually quit
different from Newtown's theory of gravity ...this is problem 2-4
of Fundmental Planetary Science
Why does Quantum Mechanics not follow Einstein's
Theory of General Relativity? If that's completely true, [we know
that "The Higgs boson does not technically give
other particles mass. More precisely, the particle is a
quantized manifestation of a field (the Higgsfield)
that generates mass through its interaction with
other particles." ] will it follow the famous equation E=mc²?
Question 9
One of the key early tests of Einstein's General Theory of
Relativity was
the bending of the path of starlight and resulting apparent
shift in the position of stars because of the Sun's mass.
sending a twin in a spaceship to the nearest star and back at a
high Lorentz factor.
the Michelson-Morley experiment.
measuring the time dilation effect from gas falling into a black
hole.
Question 10
According to General Relativity,
Group of answer choices
you can...
Special relativity
Q: What is Einstein’s special relativity principle?
Q: What is the relativity of simultaneity?
Q: What is time dilation? Length contraction?
Q: Why is there a cosmic speed limit?
Newton's law of gravity was inconsistent with Einstein's special
relativity because
Question 27 options:
the distance, and thus the force, depends on the reference frame
chosen
time dilation slows the apparent acceleration, reducing the
force
mass, and thus the force, depends on the reference frame
chosen
Newton didn't know about Einstein
