According to Einstein’s two postulates of special relativity: The first postulate states that: All inertial reference frames are equivalent. Explain what is meant by this first postulate.
A rocket flying at a speed of 0.50c in relation to the ground. Jenny's heart rate is 75 beats per minute when she's in the rocket. When the rocket is travelling perpendicular to the line that connects the rocket to an observer on the ground, signals produced by Jenny's pulse are radioed to the planet. I) What is the pulse rate measured by the earth-based observer? the second). And if the unexpected happens? What will the pulse rate be if the rocket's speed was boosted to 0.99c?
1. One of the objectives of Special Relativity was to make the laws of electricity and magnetism valid for all inertial observers. In particular, Maxwell's wave equation for light's electric field E is given by 3º E/d? – (1/c?)a²E/? = 0 - (a) Show that this equation does not have its mathematical form preserved under Galilean coordinate transformations, í.e., it violates the principle of Galilean relativity. (b) Next, show that this equation is invariant under Lorentz transformations, i.e., it keeps its form and is thus indeed valid for all inertial reference frames in the context of Special Relativity.
The great proof of Einstein's Theory of General Relativity was that light is bent by gravity (as it travels through a curved spacetime). Which of these statements is true?? O A light ray is bent the same amount, it doesn't matter how strong the gravity is. O A light ray is bent less by an intense gravitational field. O A light ray is bent more by an intense gravitational field. O Light rays aren't bent.
6. One of the potentially confusing things about special relativity is that it shows us that the time measured between two events depends upon your inertial frame of reference. In particular, two events that appear to be simultaneous in one inertial frame may be measured to occur at different times in a different inertial frame. Even more interesting is that Event 1 might occur either before or after (or at the same time as) Event 2, depending upon your reference frame! The proper interpretation of these facts is to say that nothing in physics forces two simultaneous events in one frame to be simultaneous in any other frame. However, what about the order of events when Event 1 CAUSES Event 2? For example, let's consider two events from a game of pool: 1) A cue ball, traveling at 10 m/s, hits the eight ball (of mass equal to the cue ball). An elastic collision transfers all the linear momentum of the cue ball to the eight ball. 2) 0.1 seconds later, the eight ball sinks in a corner…

You are in a spaceship with no windows, radios, or other means to check outside. How would you determine if the spaceship is at rest or moving at constant velocity? a) By determining the apparent velocity of light in the spaceship b) By checking your precision watch. If it's running slow, then the ship is moving. c) By measuring the lengths of objects. in the spaceship. If they are shorter, then the ship is moving. d) By measuring your weight on a scale located in the spaceship. If you have gained mass, then the ship is moving. e) You should give up because you've taken on a impossible task.
