It states that the laws of physics are the same in every inertial frame of reference. Which explains the invariance of physical laws. It also states that the speed of light is same in all inertial frame of references. More precisely, speed of light in vacuum is same in all inertial frame of references.

Theory of relativity.

In the year 1905 a famous mathematician and physicist named Albert Eisenstein gave a theory which shows relation between time and motion.

yes i am talking about special theory of relativity.

actually theory of relativity is divided in two parts

1. special theory of relativity

and

2. general theory of relativity.

✔special theory of relativity is based on the time and motion. 

there are two frame of references.

1. inertial frame of reference

and

2. inertial frame of reference.

in inertial frame of reference we talk about when body is moving with constant velocity.

and

in non inertial frame of reference we talk about unconstant velocity.

in the special theory it is used that the time and motion are relative. 

and there is a postulate that

✳ Nothing can travel faster than the speed of light that is.

299692458m/s and universe is limited at this speed so if a object moves near the speed of light then the time slows down for that object in order to maintain that speed.

Now

Theory of general relativity.

✔ after giving special relativity Einstein was not satisfied and wanted to know about how gravitational force can affect time.

so he gave general theory of relativity.

in this we talk about the gravitational force.

space time curvature 

fabric of cosmos and many more thing

in this Einstein showed that how gravitational force affect the time and also showed that the planets revolve around the sun because of the curve in space time

Leto [7]
The free fall acceleration due to the Earth's gravity will always be 9.8m/s^2. So, if this question is taking place on Earth, then the acceleration of an object in free fall is 9.8m/^2.

Will a seismic wave traveling through a solid go slower or faster than a seismic wave traveling through a liquid? Why?
Snezhnost [94]
You can't answer this question because you aren't giving the specific type of seismic waves. There is an s-wave a p-wave and an l-wave. Those are the basic waves. An S-wave cannot travel through a liquid at all. So, obviously it travels slower than any other seismic wave. 


<span>It would travel faster because their speed depends on the density and composition of material that they pass through.</span>

How fast would you have to travel on the surface of earth at the equator to keep up with the sun (that is, so that the sun would
professor190 [17]

Answer: 1037 miles per hour

Explanation: In order to see the sun in the same position in the sky, you would have to travel against the speed of rotation of the earth, because this is what causes the sun to appear in a constantly changing position.

Because of this, we will have to calculate the speed of rotation of the earth. To get started, we must know the circumference of the earth. Assuming the circumference formula for a sphere,

Circumference=2\pi R

Where R is the radius of the earth, we find that the perimeter of the earth is approximately 24881 miles. The equation to calculate speed is given by

v=\frac{Distance}{Time}

Because the earth completes one rotation in 24 hours, we have to find the speed of rotation as the perimeter of the earth divided by 24 hours.

The obtained result is 1037 miles per hour.

You would have to travel at 1037 miles per hour in the direction opposite to the direction the rotation is ocurring in.
