Answer the following statement(s) true (T) or false (F)
1. Since the laws of physics are the same in every inertial reference frame, there is no meaningful physical distinction between an inertial frame at rest and one moving at a constant velocity
2. Since the laws of physics are the same in every reference frame, an object must have the same kinetic energy in all inertial reference frames.
3. Since the laws of physics are the same in every inertial reference frame, an interaction between objects must be observed to conserve energy in every inertial reference frame.
4. Since the laws of physics are the same in every inertial reference frame, if you perform identical experiments in two different inertial frames, you should get exactly the same results
1. TRUE
2. FALSE
3. TRUE
4. TRUE
