Einstein's mass-energy equation is E=mc 2 , where mass is in kilograms and the speed of light is 3.00×108m/s. The unit of energy is the joule (4.184J=1cal;1000cal=1kcal,1J=1kg⋅m2/s2).   1) Calculate the energy released, in calories, when 1  g  of matter is converted to energy, then calculate the energy released, in kilocalories, when 1  g  of matter is converted to energy.   2)
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.
The special theory of relativity has what effect on measurements done today? (a) None whatsoever, because any correction would be negligible. (b) We need to consider the effects of relativity when objects move close to the speed of light. (c) We should always make a correction for relativity because Newton’s laws are basically wrong. (d) It doesn’t matter, because we can’t make measurements where relativity would matter.
