2. what is the difference between special relativity and general relativity? briefly describe each theory and cite one piece of evidence supporting each theory.

The Special (as in Limited) Theory of Relativity, is a simplification of the General Theory of Relativity.

Essentially, if you eliminate acceleration, and any significant mass from the General Theory, you get the Special Theory.

Evidence for Special Relativity (solar moons for example), is also evidence for the General Theory. The General Theory is supported by:
- Universal expansion
- the spin down of binary pulsars
- frame dragging
- gravitational lensing
- gravitational time dilation

Answertraveling around a circular trackexplanation"traveling around a circular track" is the best answer as you could be traveling around a circular track at a constant speed. your velocity would therefore have the same magnitude but will always be constantly direction. since acceleration is the rate of change of velocity, the rate of change will only involve the direction of velocity and not the magnitude.wrong choices: "an object at rest" does not accelerate at all"increasing speed while traveling around a curve" means that the acceleration will not be constant due to only change in direction; it will be constant due to both magnitude and direction"an object in free fall" does not necessarily change direction
