A Aberration The apparent change in position of a light
... An effect that demonstrates that photons (the quantum of electromagnetic radiation) have momentum. A photon fired at a stationary particle, such as an electron, will impart momentum to the electron and, since its energy has been decreased, will experience a corresponding decrease in frequency.

... After the long search for an “ether” which would describe a “true rest frame,” a big part of Einstein’s programme was to show that there is no “preferred rest frame” -- an egalitarian theory of observers, a universal theory of physical laws. This is generally how relativity is taught: all about refe ...

The only laws we know of that fulfill this are those ...

... AFFECTED BY GRAVITY. Who came up with it? ISAAC NEWTON 10. If the mass of an object increases, gravity will INCREASE. An object with less mass will have LESS gravity than an object with greater mass. 11. As the distance between objects increases, the gravity will DECREASE. 12. The measure of the pul ...

Gravitation and Kepler`s Laws
... Recall that gravity is a central force: the gravitational attraction between two bodies acts along the line joining them. In the formulation of equations 3.2 above, this means that the gravitational force on the mass µ acts in the direction ?r and therefore exerts no torque about the fixed centre. C ...

... In the car’s frame, the objects hangs without motion so its apparent weight (1) must be balanced by the string’s tension. Hence, the direction of the effective gravity (2) must be opposite to the string’s pull on the object, which is 10.8◦ from the perpendicular to the boxcar’s floor and ceiling and ...
