According to general relativity, light : travels along a curve due to length contraction

Physics
1 answer:
Rama09 [41]4 years ago
5 0

Answer:

travels along a curve due to uniform gravity

Explanation:

General relativity

The theory was developed by Albert Einstein , it is the theory of gravitation , according to which , the gravitation effect which is observed between the masses , is the resultant of their warping of the space time .

In general relativity , the equivalence principle is the equivalence of inertial gravitational mass .

According to which , the light bends due to gravitational forces ,therefore ,  the light travels along a curve because of uniform gravity .

26. The problem with calculating the speed of an object simply by dividing distance by time is​
Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

We obtain the average velocity instead of the instantaneus velocity.

Explanation:

The problem with calculating speed in this way is that an average speed is being calculated and not an instantaneous speed at a given point.

V_{average} =\frac{x}{t} \\where:\\x = distance\\t = interval of time

To calculate the instantaneous speed, a very small space interval must be measured at a given time.

A car has a mass of 1,000 kilograms. The weight of the car is
ahrayia [7]

Answer : The weight of the car is 9800 N

Explanation :

It is given that,

The mass of the car, m = 1000 kg

We have to find the weight of the car. The weight of an object is defined as the force acting on it under the action of gravity. The mass of an object is the amount of matter present in it.

Using second law of motion :

W = m g

Where

m is the mass of the car

g is the acceleration due to gravity g = 9.8 N/kg

W = 1000 kg × 9.8 N/kg

W = 9800 N

So, the weight of the car is 9800 N.

Hence, this is the required solution.

What is the distance between lines on a diffraction grating that produces a second-order maximum for 760-nm red light at an angl
Nataly [62]
The condition for maximum intensity is the same as that for a double slit. However, angular separation of the maxima is generally much greater because the slit spacing is so small for a diffraction grating. For a diffraction grating with lines/mm = lines/inch, the slit separation is d = micrometers = x10^ m.
