Questions and Answers

According to general relativity, what is the physical identity between states of accelerated motion and being at rest in a gravitational field?

  • They are opposites
  • They are physically identical (correct)
  • They are similar but not identical
  • They are unrelated

    • In general relativity, why do objects in free fall move as if no force is exerted on them?

  • Because free fall is inertial motion (correct)
  • Because of the equivalence principle
  • Due to the curvature of spacetime
  • Because of the force of gravity

    • How does general relativity resolve the difficulty of inertially moving objects accelerating with respect to each other?

  • By modifying classical mechanics
  • By adopting the principles of special relativity
  • By proposing that spacetime is curved (correct)
  • By introducing a new force
