"That's Relativity, Folks" ~ Project Potential Credits: /20 Name: Einstein's theory of special relativity had some profound results. The three main features of his theory have been discuss in the course. Briefly they are: Time dilation - moving "clocks" run slower with increasing velocity Length contractions - moving objects will have shorter lengths with increasing velocity Mass dilation - mass increases with velocity Mass and energy are equivalent (E = mc²) Watch the movie Interstellar and answer the following questions using the special relativity equations. If necessary, provide research evidence to back up your responses. Cite all sources of information gathered. 1. Explain why Coop's watch would run slower than Murph's while he is travelling at high speeds through space. 2. While Coop is travelling at high speeds in a black hole, explain why his space ship's length is distorted. 3. Why might mass be a concern for the Endurance as it travels at high speeds through space? 4. Explain, using E = mc², why the Endurance needed to travel faster than the speed of light to get out of a black hole. 5. What are some limitations that might explain why we are currently unable to achieve space travel like the Endurance? 6. What might be some problems that a colony such as Cooper Station might encounter? 7. What do you think happened to Cooper and Brand after the movie ended?
