Which of the following is a key difference between Newton's Law of Gravity and Einstein's equations of General Relativity? Select one: O a. Newton's Law of gravity does not yield accurate results for smaller bodies such as Pluto, the asteroids, and comets. O b. Einstein's General Relativity insists that gravity is a force, whereas Newton's Law of Gravity does not. O c. Newton's Law of Gravity suggests that particles lacking mass (such as photons of light) will be unaffected by gravitational fields. O d. Einstein's General Relativity is only mathematical and theoretical in nature, and has not been supported by observational evidence.

Which of the following is one of the postulates of Special Relativity? Time dilates and length contracts as an object approaches relativistic speeds. . Events that are simultaneous in one frame may not be simultaneous in another. . All laws of physics are of the same form in all inertial frames of reference. The speed of light in vacuum is constant and dependent on the speed of the source.
Multiple choice
1. Please help me answer A and B. Well explained please. (Not written on a paper please) A. Sets out the two postulates of Albert Einstein's theory of special relativity. B. What is simultaneity? Use a concrete example in your explanation.
2. Suppose the boat A is moving relative to the water with a velocity of 6 m/s due east and boat B is moving with a velocity of 12 m/s due west. Assume that observers on both boats use reference frames in which the x direction points east. According to the Galilean veloc- ity transformation equations, what is the velocity of boat A relative to boat B. (Hint: Draw a picture. Be sure to define which object corresponds to which frame.)
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…

TOPIC Special Theory of Relativity Intro, Time Dilation & Length Contraction A. TRUE OR FALSE. Explain your answer in one sentence. 1. The special theory of relativity is based on inertial frame of reference. 2. If a flashlight is emitted in a running train, the speed of light will be greater than c. 3. Time dilation and length contraction is not observed if the speed of an object being observed is very slow compared to the speed of light because it is not happening at this speed. 4. The twin who travelled at a very fast speed will age slower than his twin brother. 5. A car that travels at 0.85c will appear longer than when measured at rest. B. PROBLEM SOLVING. State the given data and the unknown required to be solved. Show the solution and express your final answer with correct number of significant digits. 1.

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…
