Special Relativity

The theory of special relativity discusses how space and time are related to objects traveling along a straight line at a constant speed. Simply stated, as an object reaches the speed of light, its mass becomes infinite and it is unable to move faster than light. This interstellar speed limit has been the topic of much debate in astronomy, and also in science fiction when people consider how to fly over large distances.

Why do scientists consider Einstein's General Theory of Relativity to be a better theory of gravity than Newton's theory of gravity? a) Newton's theory was never useful, so it had to be replaced by something. b) The two theories always make very different predictions, and only Einstein's theory works. c) Einstein's gravity makes correct predictions in a few cases where Newton's theory does not. d) Einstein's theory is newer, and scientists always prefer newer theories.
Identify Einstein's two postulates for the Special Theory of Relativity and include evidence that supports them. Include a diagram and relevant physics terminology in your answer.
Newton's Law of Gravity is what can we say about the law, and about G? Check the 4 correct statements. There will be partial credit if you miss some. We must find G by making precision experimental measurements because we do not know its value otherwise. All evidence suggests that It is the same everywhere, for all time Its value sets the "size" or "strength" of gravitational force We can calculate G from first principles and understand why it has the value it does. This law of gravity only works near Earth. In space far from Earth there is no gravity. It may not apply very close to very large masses where General Relativity takes over as a better description.
Discusses the importance of general relativity to satellite mapping. How are satellites being used to determine natural resources such as deposits of iron, groundwater, and schools of fish, to name a few? Why does the gravitational force vary at different points in a satellite’s orbit? How does this relate to what you’ve studied about gravitation? Be sure to cite your sources.

Which of the following is a CORRECT description of Einstein’s Geometric Theory of Relativity? A. This theory supported Isaac Newton’s description of gravity as a spontaneous force of attraction between two objects with mass. B. This theory implies that the gravitational force of attraction between two objects with mass does not come from gravity itself. C. This theory describes that space and time are eleven-dimensional where each dimension has distinct characteristics and features. D. This theory has two postulates similar to the Special Theory of Relativity that the laws of physics and speed of light are invariant.
In general relativity, gravity changes time. Gravitational potential = - G M / R. Time change r = At/t = A/c². A satellite (e.g., GPS) orbits 21 km above Earth surface, and gravity at the satellites are a little different from Earth surface. The distance error is Ad = c At. Ad is km in one day Please do not copy and paste. Thank you!
