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.

6. We’ve learned that incredibly intelligent (and superior) aliens from the planet Splorg are planning to invade the Earth. However, they have first decided to determine how smart we humans are. If they deem us smart enough, they might reconsider their planned invasion. To evaluate our intelligence, they have asked us to get our Physics class to figure out at what radial distance they would need to orbit a satellite so that it always remained at the same location above the Splorigian equator (i.e. in splorgeosynchronous orbit). They also want to know what velocity they’d need their spacecraft to reach in order for it to escape the gravity of Splorg when the time comes to invade Earth. Here’s the information they gave us: a day on Splorg lasts the equivalent of 31.7 hours. At the equator, Splorg has a circumference of 54,660 km. Finally, they’ve told us that it takes a 2 kg mass exactly 0.56 s to fall a distance of 2 m at the surface of Splorg. Better take this problem seriously…the…
1.) In what way(s) is Einstein's general theory of relativity superior to Newton's theory of universal gravitation? For each way, give an example of a case where Einstein's theory provides a more accurate description of physical phenomena than does Newton's. (Select all that apply.) A.) Newton's theory originally held that the orbit of a spherical object about another will be an open curve for which the point of closest approach slowly precesses. Einstein's theory correctly predicts that gravitational forces lead to orbits of closed ellipses. B.) Einstein's theory correctly predicts the deflection of light passing near a massive object, while Newton's theory predicts a deflection that is one-half the observed deflection. C.) Einstein's theory correctly predicts that the orbit of a spherical object about another will be an open curve for which the point of closest approach slowly precesses. Newton's theory originally held that gravitational forces lead to orbits of closed…
