If you use an Earth based telescope to project a laser beam onto the moon, you can move the spot across the moon's surface at a velocity greater than the speed of light Does this violate modern relativity? (Note that light is being sent from the Earth to the moon, not across the surface of the moon.)
Choose the option that makes the following statement correct. An objects proper length is measured by an observer [(a) who measures the length of the moving object as it passes; (b) who is at rest relative to the object.]
When you are flying in a commercial jet, it may appear to you that the airplane is stationary and the Earth is moving beneath you. Is this point of view valid? Discuss briefly
A spaceship moves away from Earth at a speed v and fires a shuttle craft in the forward direction at a speed v relative to the ship. The pilot of the shuttle craft launches a probe at speed v relative to the shuttle craft. Determine (a) the speed of the shuttle craft relative to Earth, and (b) the speed of the probe relative to Earth.
The Sun orbits the Milky Way galaxy once each 2.60108 years, with a roughly circular orbit averaging a radius of 3.00104 light-years. (A light-year is the distance traveled by light in 1 year.) Calculate the centripetal accleration of the Sun in its galactic orbit. Does yur result support the contention that a nearly inertial frame of reference can be located at the Sun? (b) Calculate the average speed of the Sun in its galactic orbit. Does the answer surprise you?

You have an assistantship with a math professor in a future world where space travel is common and spacecraft regularly achieve near-light speeds. A spacecraft has taken of recently to carry individuals to colonize an Earth-like planet around a nearby star. Your professor, who remains on Earth, is teaching the students on the spacecraft via the future version of distance learning. It is time for the students on the spacecraft to take a math exam. The professor wishes the students to have a time interval tp = 2.00 h to complete the exam, so just as the spacecraft passes Earth on its last trip around the Sun at its constant cruising speed of 0.960c, she sends a signal to the proctor to have the students begin the exam. Knowing of your experience in physics courses, the professor asks you to determine the time interval through which she should wait before sending a radio signal to the departing spacecraft to tell the proctor to have the students stop working on the exam.
Choose the option from each pair that makes the following statement correct. Because for an object in relative motion is always [(a) greater, (b) less] than 1, a proper time interval tp is always [(c) longer; (d) shorter] than the time interval t and a proper length Lp is always [(e) longer; (f) shorter] than the length L.
Can classical physics be used to accurately describe a satellite moving at a speed of 7500 m/s? Explain why or why not.
Astronomical observations of our Milky Way galaxy indicate that it has a mass of about 8.1011 solar masses. A star orbiting on the galaxy's periphery is about 6.0104 light years from its center. (a) What should the orbital period of that star be? (b) If its period is 6.0107 instead, what is the mass of the galaxy? Such calculations are used to imply the existence of "dark matter" in the universe and have indicated, for example, the existence of very massive black holes at the centers of some galaxies.
Which of the following statements are fundamental postulates of the special theory of relativity? More than one statement may be correct. (a) Light moves through a substance called the ether. (b) The speed of light depends on the inertial reference frame in which it is measured. (c) The laws of physics depend on the inertial reference frame in which they are used. (d) The laws of physics are the same in all inertial reference frames. (e) The speed of light is independent of the inertial reference frame in which it is measured.
