Write your findings about special relativity with examples, how you can understand space-time coordinates? b) What is Lorentz factor? Compare contribution of Lorentz factor in length, time and mass, show how these quantities change in relativity.
The Schwarzschild radius, RS, of a black hole depends on its mass m, the speed of light c,and the gravitational constant G (with units m3/(kg s2)).Find a dimensionally correct expression for RS in terms of these quantities.Assuming that you found a dimensionally correct expression, can you be sure that this expression is, in fact, the correct expression for calculating the Schwarzschild radius? Explainyour answer.
Hunting a black hole. Observations of the light from a certain star indicate that it is part of a binary (two-star) system. This visible star has moves in a circle of radius r1 and has orbital period T. Variations in the brightness of nearby stars suggest that the unseen companion moves in a circle of radius r2 (see the figure). Find the approximate masses (a) m1 of the visible star and (b) m2 of the dark star. Express your answer in terms of r1, r2, T, and G.
