Explanation Since we need to find the equivalence of mass to energy, we will use the relativistic rest energy equation and then the gravitational potential energy to find the mass that can be raised by this energy. Given: The mass of 1 gr is to be converted to energy. Formula used: The rest energy is given by: E 1 g r = m 1 g r ⋅ c Where m 1gr is the mass of 1 gr, c is the speed of light . If we convert this energy to gravitational potential energy: E = m ⋅ g ⋅ h Where m is the mass that is going to be raised, g is gravity, and h is the height. Equalizing and solving for m: m ⋅ g ⋅ h = E 1 g r m = E 1 g r g ⋅ h Calculations: Substituting values for the energy of 1 gr of mass: E 1 g r = 0...

Relativistic Energy and Momentum

According to classical physics, time flow is the same for every observer. But according to einstein's theory, time flow is different for different observers. The idea that time flow is not the same for all may sound strange because we may not experience …
