The concept that large masses warp the shape of spacetime and thus change the path of an object moving through that spacetime ap

plies to all objects. As such, Einstein’s theory of general relativity predicts that light will also curve around massive objects as it travels through space. Does Newton’s law of gravity agree with that prediction? Note that the mass of a photon is zero.

Answer: Newton's law of gravity theory disagrees with Einstein's theory. The last one were named Theory of General Relativity and was discovered and proposed by the physicist Einstein in the year of 1915.

Explanation: Until the beginning of 20 century, the physics were ruled by Isaac Newton's ideas. He believed that the gravity was a force caused by the objects mass on the space, made them to be draw towards each other. Newton thought that the greater the mass of the object, the more intense was its attraction, which would justify the planet's moovements around the sun and how the gravity between them maintain the planets on solar orbit. Concluding, he believed gravity was a immediate force of action, regardless of the distance of the bodies.

Contrary to Newton's law of gravity, in 1915, the physicist Einstein created the Theory of General Relativity, wich discovered that gravity was, in fact, the deformation caused by the attraction of massive celestial bodies. This deformation, related to the Sun, for example, creates a curvature on the space-time and this curvature are followed by the other planets.

So, we can conclude that Newton's law of gravity disagree's with the Theory of General Relativity, once the first believes that light force of attraction are transmitted instantly and, as Einstein already prooved, the gravity influency propagates in the speed of light.

Answer:

  9.877 m/s^2

Explanation:

The acceleration can be computed from ...

  d = (1/2)at^2

  (1600 m) = (1/2)a(18 s)^2

  a = (1600/162) m/s^2 ≈ 9.877 m/s^2
