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.

Use a history book, an encyclopedia, or the internet to find out what else was happening in England during Newton’s lifetime and discuss what trends of the time might have contributed to his accomplishments and the rapid acceptance of his work.
Why can we neglect forces such as those holding a body together when we apply Newton’s second law?
Because Newtons first law is counterintuitive, it is important to take some time to think about what the law says and about how and why it differs from our intuition. a. Why did the unavoidable presence of friction make it difficult for earlier scientists to come to the conclusion expressed in Newtons first law? b. What is the natural state of an object? c. How much force does it take to keep an object moving at constant velocity?
Why did Newton conclude that gravity has to be mutual and universal?
How did Newton come up with the idea that the moon is actually "falling" toward the Earth.
Before the time of Galileo and Newton, some learned scholars thought that a stone dropped from the top of a tall mast of a moving ship would fall vertically and hit the deck behind the mast by a distance equal to how far the ship had moved forward while the stone was falling. In light of your understanding of Newton’s first law, what do you think about this?
Newton’s law of universal gravitation tells us that the force exerted by oneparticle on another isF = Gm1m2r2 ,where the universal gravitational constant G is found experimentally to beG = 6.673 ×10−11 N m2/kg2.The mass of each particle is m1 and m2, respectively, and r is the distancebetween the two particles. Assume that the mass of the earth is approximately6 ×1024 kg, and the mass of the moon is approximately 7.4 ×1022 kg. We knowthat the earth and the moon are not always the same distance apart. UseNewton’s law of universal gravitation to find the force exerted by the moon onthe earth for ten distances between 3.8 ×108 m and 4.0 ×108 m.
