To determine
The term relativity and the different theories of relativity.
Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 1Q
The relativity explains the motion of an object relative to the frame of reference. Also, the various forces in the nature are explained by general theory of relativity and
Explanation of Solution
The relativity explains the motion of a body with relative to a frame of reference. The relativity defines that the time and the space are relative.
The term relativity in physics is divided in two categories which are general theory of relativity and special theory of relativity. The general theory of relativity explains the gravity and the effect to gravity on the other forces existing in nature. The special theory of relativity deals with the interactions of the particle.
The two postulates of the theory of relativity are that the application of physics is same in different inertial frames and the
Conclusion:
Therefore, the relativity explains the motion of an object relative to the frame of reference. Also, the various forces in the nature are explained by general theory of relativity and special theory of relativity.
