What speed does a clock move if it runs at a rate which is one half the rate of a clock at rest?
so sqrt(0.75) = v / c = ~ 0.866 which means the velocity is 86.6\% of the speed of light.
At what speed should a clock be moved so that it appears to lose 1 minute in each hour?
Therefore, clock should run at speed of 9.75×10^6 m/s.
What is the time dilation formula?
Time dilation is the phenomenon of time passing slower for an observer who is moving relative to another observer. γ=1√1−v2c2 γ = 1 1 − v 2 c 2 . The equation relating proper time and time measured by an Earth-bound observer implies that relative velocity cannot exceed the speed of light.
What is a contraction equation?
To get straight to the point the length of an object will contract (in the direction parallel to its motion) when traveling at relativistic speeds. This “shortening” of length is called length contraction. The equation for calculating the length as seen by an outside observer is as follows: L = L0((1 – v2/c2))1/2.
What speed should a clock be moved so that it loses?
The time measured in the frame in which the clock is at rest is called the “proper time”. Coming to your question “At what speed should a clock be moved so that it loses 1 min of an hour”. Means it would be approx 18\% of the speed of light. The given question is solved through the method of Lorentz Time Dilation equation.
How do you slow down the speed of a grandfather clock?
Changing the speed of time keeping is accomplished by moving the pendulum disk up or down. The pendulum disk is moved up or down by turning the adjustment nut. To slow the Grandfather Clock down, move the pendulum disk down by turning the adjustment nut to the left.
How do you speed up a clock?
These clocks keep time by counting the number of swings of the pendulum. Shorter pendulums swing faster than longer ones do. To speed up a clock you must make the effective length of the pendulum shorter; to slow down the clock, the pendulum length must be longer. There are two main ways to do this….
What is the rate of movement of a clock at rest?
If the clock is at rest, it is not moving, and if you cut the rate of movement in half, it is still zero. But in mathematics, since this is 0/0=undefined, which just says your answer really is meaningless, because the function is meaningless.
