Chapter 16, Problem 12A

Do the equations of Newton and Einstein overlap, or is there a sharp break between them?

To determine

To explain:Whether the equations of Newton and Einstein overlap or not.

Answer to Problem 12A

The equations of Newton and Einstein are overlapped.

Explanation of Solution

Introduction:

Newton proposed a theory of universal gravity and Einstein proposed a new theory of gravitation by using the special theory of relativity, quantum mechanics etc.

The newton and Einstein’s equations are overlap in those regions where these equations are applied which means that speeds are small compared to the speed of light.

Conclusion:

Thus, these equations are overlap.
