The principle of equivalence states that Select one: a. all physical experiments conducted in a uniform gravitational field and in an accelerated frame of reference give identical results. b. clocks that move relative to...
Einstein's first postulate (the relativity principle) states that: a. the speed of light is independent of the speed of the source or observer. b. the laws of physics have the same form in all inertial reference frames. c. the length of an object moving relative to an observer is measured to be shorter along its direction of motion than when it is at rest. d. at speeds much less than the speed of light, the relativistic formulas reduce to the...
The principles on which special relativity are based include all the following EXCEPT Only the universal rest frame gives correct measurements. An observer in an inertial reference frame cannot tell if they are in motion or not. The laws describing observed motion are the same in any inertial reference frame. The speed of light is the same in any frame of reference. Observers in two inertial frames agree on the speed of the other observer.
In general relativity, gravity changes time. Gravity potential o =-GM/R. Time change r= At/t= AQ / c2. If uncorrected, it would cause errors in GPS Global Positioning System. The GPS satellites orbit average 20,200 km above Earth surface, and gravity at the satellites are a little different from Earth surface. Find the: a) time error r ? e-10 due to gravity. b) distance error (km) in one day. (signal travels at light speed)
1. Which of the following training evaluation designs involves taking a series of performance measurements before and after the training program? Select one: a. Ratio analysis b. Time series design c. Controlled experimentation d. Scatter plots

A The effects of gravity and acceleration are equivalent O B The speed of light is measured to be the same by observers in inertial reference frames O C The laws of nature as the same for all observers O D Time runs slower closer to a gravitational source relative to a distant observer
In the theory of relativity, the mass m of an object with velocity v is V1- where mo is the mass of the object at rest i.e. with velocity 0) and c is the speed of light. (a) What value for m does this formula give when the object has velocity 0? (b) How many times more massive is an object when moving at half the speed of light than when it is not moving? (c) How fast does an...
In the theory of relativity a particle of mass m and position moving in R3 is described by the Lagrangian t1 where the speed of light c is a constant and a dot denotes differentiation with respect to time. Compute the equations of motion. Show that, if T is an anti-symmetric matrix, i.e. T =-TT, then verify that it is conserved. Compute the conjugate momentum p and energy E and verify that they are conserved. Show that Evaluate the energy...
Special Relativity help Question 1 (2 points) Select all that are true. Using Maxwell's equations it is possible to show that electromagnetic waves must travel at a constant speed (c 3x10 8 m/s) The only assumption needed for special relativity to work is for nothing in the universe to go faster than the speed of light. The only assumption needed for special relativity to work is for the speed of light to be a constant in the universe. Assuming the...
