A space probe is being prepared for a deep-space mission. The engineers have divided the trip into five segments based on the required changes in motion, as noted in the table. During which parts of the trip must the engineers apply the principles of general relativity? (Note that the velocities are listed as a percentage of the speed of light, c. The direction is positive when moving away from Earth and negative when moving toward Earth.)

Planned Space Probe Mission
Trip segment Initial velocity (% c) Final velocity (% c) 
A 0 +90
B +90 +90
C +90 -90
D -90 -90
E -90 0



A. Apply general relativity during segment B.

B. Apply general relativity during segment C.

C. Apply special relativity during segment A

D. Apply special relativity during segment E

General relativity involves accelerations (change in velocity), which occur in segments A, C, and E.  The spacecraft is flying at a constant velocity (no acceleration) during segments B and D - special relativity would apply in these segments.

General relativity will be considered during the A, C and E part of the trip since the space probe will be accelerating then.

What is the theory of special relativity?

The theory of special relativity is a theory which explains the relationships between speed, mass, time and space.

In special relativity, acceleration is not often considered

An example of special relativity is in time dilation.

General relativity applies to motion under gravity, and acceleration of objects are considered.

Therefore, general relativity will be considered during the A, C and E part of the trip since the space probe will be accelerating then.
