3
What does the Principle of Relativity say?
General relativity is irrelevant because of special relativity.
Gravity is caused by motion in objects.
The laws of physics are different if one is moving versus standing still.
Motion is relative + laws of physics are the same at any constant velocity.

What is gravity caused by? (in the theory of general relativity)
Heavy objects
The warping of spacetime
The pull of the Earth
The law of universal gravitation
8
What is the equation for mass-energy equivalence?
e = mc2
e = m2c
e2 = mc
e = mc
9
What does the Principle of Light Constancy say?
The speed of light is the same for all observers.
Every form of energy emits light.
The sun is the only source of natural light in the galaxy.
Light is made possible by nuclear fission.
