LECTURE 26
     questions before lecture

think about these

  • What causes gravity?
  • In the Principle of Equivalence from last lecture, what was gravity equivalent to?
  • How wide a swath does a total solar eclipse cut?
  • Define refraction (yes, in optics).
  • Do you know what a scalar is? A vector? Can you give an example of each?
  • Here's a hard one. In an accelerating system, would you get the same feeling as being closer to a mass, at the front or rear of the system?
