- If you use an Earth based telescope to project a laser beam onto the moon, you can move the spot across the moon's surface at a velocity greater than the speed of light Does this violate modern relativity?

- Einstein's mass-energy equation is E=mc 2 , where mass is in kilograms and the speed of light is 3.00×108m/s. The unit of energy is the joule (4.184J=1cal;1000cal=1kcal,1J=1kg⋅m2/s2). 1) Calculate the energy released, in calories, when 1 g of matter is converted to energy, then calculate the energy released, in kilocalories, when 1 g of matter is converted to energy. 2)arrow_forwardA light-year is the distance that light can travel in one year. Similarly, we can define a light-second, light-day, etc. as the distance that light can travel in other time intervals. Calculate the distance represented by each of the following: (Assume that the speed of light is 3 × 108 m/s). 1. 4 light-seconds 2. 3 light-minutes 3. 2 light-days 4. 2 light-days, but this time answer in miles (enter just the number with no units)arrow_forwardDescribe the consequences of Einstein’s special theory of relativity.arrow_forward
