Relativity

Who is one of the most influential physicists in the 20th century?

• Karl Schwarzschild

• Albert Einstein

• Isaac Newton

• Max Planck

It Is also known as curving of space-time.

• Black hole

• warping

• Bending

• orbiting

How does special relativity differs from general relativity?

• Special relativity applies only to moving frames while general relativity applies only to stationary frames.

• Special relativity applies only to stationary frames while general relativity applies only to accelerating frames.

• Special relativity applies only to stationary or moving frames while general relativity applies only to accelerating frames.

• Special relativity applies only to accelerating frames while general relativity applies only to stationary or moving frames.

What must be the velocity of an object to escape a black hole?

• less than c

• equal to c

• zero

• greater than c

The special theory of relativity was derived by:

• Galileo

• Newton

• Einstein

• Sitter

Match the following of Special Relativity

• Items look smaller when moving faster

• Length Contraction

• Time slows down for objects moving fast

• Simultaneity

• E=mc²

• Time Dilation

• Relativity, perception of events

• Mass-Energy Equivalence Equation

In time dilation, time is

• fixed

• relative

• constant

• light

• constant

• relative

• changes

• varied
