Which of the following statements are true? True False  The proper time interval for an event depends upon the speed of the observer. True False  The proper length of a meter stick is always one meter. True False  Relativistic effects become important in our calculations (for example, more than a 1% effect) only when speeds are close to the speed of light in vacuum. True False  The total kinetic energy of a body is limited, since its speed can never exceed 'c'. True False  The...
