Prove that if v and u' are less than c, it is impossible for a speed u greater than c to result from equation (2-l9b). [Hint: The product (c-u')(c-v) is positive.]

Exercise 117 gives the speed u of an object accelerated under a constant force. Show that the distance it travels is given by
A typical household uses 500 kWh of energy in I month. How much mass is convened to produce this energy?
If it is fundamental to nature that a given mass has a critical radius at which something extraordinary happens (i.e., a black hole forms), we might guess that this radius should depend only on mass and fundamental constants of nature. Assuming that depends only on M, G, and c, show that dimensional analysis gives the equation for the Schwarzschild radius to within a multiplicative constant.
