Special relavtivty practice questions [physics]

Hey everyone,

I've put together a list of free special relativity practice questions relevant to VCE, QCE and HSC together in one place. I've made quick notes for each, if it doesn't say that there's no provided answer you can find the answer in the examiners report or by crolling to an answer key in the document. I have not included Michaelson Morley experiment questions in this list.

Abbreviations:
MCQ: multiple choice question
SA: Short answer
calc: a calculation is expected
no calc: no calculation is expected
