If the Sun was shrunk to fit the same mass into a smaller volume what would happen to the curvature of spacetime near the surface of the Sun? Spacetime curvature wouldn't change as the mass hasn't changed. O Spacetime curvature would stay the same (which we would feel as the same gravity at the surface) O Spacetime curvature would increase (which we would feel as an increase in gravity near the surface)

The special theory of relativity is "special" because it deals only with a certain type of reference frames, inertial reference frames. What are inertial reference frames?
1.) In what way(s) is Einstein's general theory of relativity superior to Newton's theory of universal gravitation? For each way, give an example of a case where Einstein's theory provides a more accurate description of physical phenomena than does Newton's. (Select all that apply.) A.) Newton's theory originally held that the orbit of a spherical object about another will be an open curve for which the point of closest approach slowly precesses. Einstein's theory correctly predicts that gravitational forces lead to orbits of closed ellipses. B.) Einstein's theory correctly predicts the deflection of light passing near a massive object, while Newton's theory predicts a deflection that is one-half the observed deflection. C.) Einstein's theory correctly predicts that the orbit of a spherical object about another will be an open curve for which the point of closest approach slowly precesses. Newton's theory originally held that gravitational forces lead to orbits of closed…

O Europa had many icy comets crash into the surface bring water to the moon and melting the water as it fell into the core. O Furopa formed with an unusual amount of liquid water in the core and the coldness of space wasn't able to freeze it. O upiter's strong gravitational force is causing Europa to flex in its orbit, leading to an increase in internal heating. O Europa's close proximity to Jupiter puts it into a gravitational tug-of-war with Jupiter's targest moon Ganymede. Question 10 How was Neptune discovered? O When a large comet broke up and hit the planet, the explosion was seen from Earth-based telescopes O From a large sky survey that identified the "blue-green" planet. O By watching…
QUESTION 10 What curvature will the universe have if the matter and energy density of the universe is equal to the critical density? Open Closed Flat O None of the above QUESTION 11 Why can you not observe beyond the horizon distance? O Because of opaque gas O Because our telescopes are not powerful enough O Because light/information cannot travel faster than the speed of light O Because of the of black holes QUESTION 12 According to the Olber's Paradox, the night sky should be completely bright. However, when we observe at night, the sky is dark. Why does this happen? O Because the universe has a finite age O Because as the universe expands, objects at larger distances move faster, and the light from them shifts out of the visible part of the electromagnetic spectrum O Both a) and b) O Neither a) nor b)

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…
