Jenny is traveling southward. In order to stop, she needs a northward acceleration.
A better way to say it:
Jenny is traveling southward in her bumper car, so the direction of her velocity is south. In order to reduce her velocity to zero, a velocity of equal magnitude but directed north must be added to it. Then the change in velocity is positive northward, and the change in velocity per unit time is acceleration.
Answer:
Mass and thus force depends on the reference frame chosen
Explanation:
This can be explained as Newton's law of gravity provides action which are instantaneous at a distance and involves the evaluation of all the quantities at present time or at the instant they occur.
If the body undergoes a change in its mass distribution there will be an immediate change in its gravitational force without any lag.
Now, if we talk about special relativity, it would be absurd to say that an information can travel faster than light. The effect is in synchronization with the cause in one reference frame where the effect occurs after the cause for some observer in some other reference frame.
In order to observe Newton's law of gravity all the observer's in different reference frames must observe the same phenomena which could only be possible if time were absolute and in special relativity, time is not absolute.
Therefore, Newton's law of gravity was inconsistent with the Einstein's Special Relativity.
