Textbook Question
Chapter 27, Problem 11CQ
People sometimes interpret the theory of relativity as saying that “everything is relative.” Is this really what the theory says? Can you think of any physical quantities that are not relative in his theory? (In fact. Einstein thought of his theory as a theory of absolutes rather than relativity.)

slowing under the influence of gravity.
Suppose (A) we film this motion and play
the tape backward (so the tape begins with
the ball at its highest point and ends with it
reaching the point from which it was
released), and (B) we observe the motion of
the ball from a frame of reference moving

For example, cams open and close the valves in your car engine to admit gasoline vapor to each cylinder and to allow the escape of exhaust. The principle is illustrated in the figure below, showing a follower rod (also called a pushrod) of mass m resting on a wedge of mass M. The sliding wedge duplicates the function of a rotating eccentric disk on a camshaft in your car. Assume that there is no friction between the wedge and the base, between the pushrod and the wedge, or between the rod and the guide through which it slides. When the wedge is pushed to the left by the force F, the rod moves upward and does something such as opening a valve. By varying the shape of the wedge, the motion of the follower rod could be made quite complex, but assume that the wedge makes a constant angle of 0 = 15.0°. Suppose you want the wedge and the rod to start from rest and move with constant acceleration, with the rod moving upward 1.00 mm in 8.00 ms. Take m…arrow_forward
