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....
