Mark true (T) or false (F) regarding the Schwarzschildmetric.
( ) If we want to study the effects of gravity on the Earth'ssurface, we must use the Newtonian theory of gravitation. GeneralRelativity is a theory that only applies to strong gravitationalfields, as in the case of neutron stars or black holes, and cannotbe applied to a weaker gravity like terrestrial.
( ) It makes no sense to apply the Schwarzschild metric in thevicinity of Earth, as Earth is not a black hole.
( ) The pace of a stationary clock at a great distance from Earthappears to be faster than the pace of an observer on the Earth'ssurface.
( ) Consider the Schwarzschild metric described in terms of thecoordinates t, r, θ and ϕ. We can say that t represents the timemeasured by a clock located at the coordinates point r, θ andϕ.
( ) Consider the Schwarzschild metric described in terms of thecoordinates t, r, θ and ϕ. The r coordinate is defined as theperimeter of a circle divided by 2π. Due to the curvature of space,the radial distance to the central mass can be greater than thevalue of r defined from the perimeter.
