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....
Which statement best describes the difference between special
relativity and general relativity?
a) Only the theory of general relativity includes gravity.
b) The theory of general relativity describes the behavior of
subatomic particles.
c) The theory of special relativity applies only to very massive
objects.
d) Only the theory of special relativity includes gravity.

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?
Briefly explain the two postulates of relativity, how
they differed from classical physics, and
why Einstein was led to propose them. List at least 2
implications of the postulates.
1.Outline the postulates and limitations of VSEPR theory.
2. Explain the application of this theory to explain the shapes
of the molecule namely SF4, NH3, SF6 and BCl3
1. Theory of nature needed to truly understand the Big Bang:
A. Special relativity
B. General relativity
C. Quantum mechanics
D. Quantum gravity
2. LIGO's first discovery:
A. Black hole - black hole merger
B. Black hole - neutron star
merger
C. Neutron star - neutron star merger
D. Nothing yet
3. An object is stationary in a black hole's ergoregion. How
fast does it appear to be moving to an outside observer?
A. Not at all
B. Some, but...
Special relativity: describe the principle of relativity
and Lorentz transformations, and derive the effects of time
dilation and length contraction. Also explain the meaning of the
equation E = m c2
Basic understandings of each part of the question please. I am
trying to figureout the concept of my curriculum.
