Q. According to Isaac Newton, time is:
relative
irrelevant
absolute
dependent on which clock you use
flows at different paces
Q. We run one mile in 8 minutes. What is our velocity relative to the side of the road?
It depends on how fast the road accelerates in our view.
Q. We measure the speed of light while traveling at the speed of sound 
.What speed of light do we measure?
.What speed of light do we measure? 
It depends on how the Earth is moving relative to the ether.
Q. Which statement best describes the phenomenon known as time dilation?
Because moving clocks run fast, time slows down for an observer at rest.
Because moving clocks run fast, time speeds up for an observer moving.
Because moving clocks run slow, time slows down for an observer moving, but only a relativistic speed.
Because moving clocks run slow, time speeds up for an observer moving, but only at a relativistic speed.
None of the above.
Q. Length contraction occurs because:
a) Velocities are not the same in different frames of references.
The ether contracts moving objects, as predicted by Hendrik Lorentz.
Two events simultaneous in one frame of reference will not necessarily be simultaneous in another frame.
Two events simultaneous in one frame of reference will always be simultaneous in another frame.
The laws of physics are dependent on their frame of reference.
Q. A sphere of light expands with a radius of:
r = x + y + z + ct
r2 = x2 + y2 + z2 + (ct)2
r = ct
Q. What interval never changes between two frames of reference?
A time interval
A simultaneous interval
A space interval
A speed of light interval
A spacetime interval
Q. 2) Which sentence below doesn't belong to Einstein's special theory of relativity?
The speed of light is constant.
Time flows differently depending on an object's velocity.
Length is contracted depending on an object's velocity.
The energy and mass of an object are intrinsically related.
Gravity accelerates the flow of time.
Q. According to special relativity, why is it impossible surpass the speed of light?
Because the rest mass of an object would increase to infinity
Because the momentum of an object would decrease to infinity
Because the total mass of an object would increase to infinity
Because the momentum of an object would decrease to infinity
Because the rest energy of an object would increase to infinity
Q. 4) According to special relativity, is it possible to time travel?
Yes, but only at relativistic speeds, and not into the past
Yes, but only into the future
No, because it would violate causality
No, because we don't have a flux capacitor
Yes, but only at relativistic speeds, and only into the past
