General Relativity — Quiz

Question 1 • Physics

Which describes Einstein’s general theory of relativity? Choose five correct answers.

Answer
A
It is an extension of the special theory of relativity.
B
It applies to objects in free fall.
C
It applies to objects in a gravitational field.
D
It applies to accelerating objects.
E
It applies to objects in uniform motion.
F
It replaced the special theory of relativity.

Explanation

General relativity extends special relativity by including gravity and accelerated motion. It describes objects in gravitational fields, including objects in free fall, and it also covers objects moving uniformly; special relativity remains a valid description in appropriate situations. So the five correct choices are the extension, free-fall, gravitational-field, accelerating-object, and uniform-motion statements. General relativity did not replace special relativity, so F is incorrect.
