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.

Challenge Problem: Electrostatic Force
You have a pair of cannon balls, each 100kg in mass, and a 'charge shuttling' device which can be used
to remove electrons from one object and place them on another. One of the cannon balls is suspended
from the ceiling with an insulating cord. You want to use electrostatic attraction to cause the other to
hang in space beneath it, just by removing electrons from the upper cannon ball, and placing them on
the lower one. How many electrons must you "shuttle" in order to get the lower cannon ball to hover
2.0m below the upper one? Give your answer in moles.

Compare and contrast the Coulomb force field and the electric field. To do this, make a list of five properties for the Coulomb force field analogous to the five properties listed for electric field lines.

Is the same true for Coulomb field lines?)
Construct Your Own Problem Consider identical spherical conducting space ships in deep space where gravitational fields from other bodies are negligible compared to the gravitational attraction between the ships. Construct a problem in which you place identical excess charges on the space ships to exactly counter their gravitational attraction. Calculate the amount of excess charge needed. Examine whether that charge depends on the distance between the centers of the ships, the masses of the ships, or any other factors. Discuss whether this would be an easy, difficult, or even impossible thing to do in practice.
