Bonus/ Makeup points quiz for CP relativity

The speed of light (c) =

• 3 x 10⁸ miles/hour
• 3 x 10⁸ meters/second
• 3 x 10⁸ kilometers/hour
• none of these

The special theory of relativity was derived by:

• Galileo
• Newton
• Einstein
• Sitter

A postulate is something that is accepted as true at the beginning of a logical article.

• True
• False

How many postulates are there in the special theory of relativity?

• 1
• 2
• 3
• 4

The speed of light is constant in all uniform frames of reference.

• True
• False

One of the most startling consequences of time dilation is that a moving clock ______________ relative to a stationary observer.

• Speeds up
• Slows down

If you travel at the speed of light a second can be observed to last forever by an outside observer.

• True
• False

We experience Einstein's Theory of Relativity in our everyday life when we use

• Global Positioning System (locating you on your phone)

• Microwave ovens.
• Toasters
• Graphing Calculators

When you APPROACH a light source while you are moving very fast, the light from that source has a speed 

• greater than c. 
• less than c. 
• equal to c.
  

We do not usually observe relativistic effects in our daily lives because 

• we are moving at speeds much less than c. 
• we are much larger than atoms. 
• we are much heavier than elementary particles. 
• we are much lighter than stars.
