thank you sylas. Even though I'm still a little bit confuse, but I believe I will find a way to understand it. Thanks for your time. I really appreciate your time. Thanks again.
a. In the inertial frame where the tower is at rest, how long does it take the watch (on board the rocket) to register 10 s?
10s = t_0\sqrt {1-0.6^2}
10s = t_0\sqrt {1-0.36}
10s = t_0\sqrt {.64}
10s = t_0(.8)
\frac {10s} {.8} = t_0
t_0 = 12.5s

a. In the inertial frame where the tower is at rest, how long does it take the watch (on board the rocket) to register 10 s?
T=?
t = t_0 \sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2}}
t= 10s \sqrt {1-0.6}
t= 10s \sqrt {0.4}
t= 10s \sqrt {4*10^(-1)}
t= 10s * 2 \sqrt {10}

a. In the inertial frame where the tower is at rest, how long does it take the watch (on board the rocket) to register 10 s?
So, in this question, the t0 is the tower, and the t is on the rocket?
b. In the inertial frame where the rocket is at rest, how long does it take the clock in the...
How do I determine when the question is asking about the t knot or the t? This was something that I was trying to make sense of. I know I can solve it, but for the 10 s that was given, how do I know if the 10 s was the time for the "t" or for the "t knot"?
Please help explaining this to me.
yes, I do, but I don't have the textbook with me right now.
However, I remember one of the formula, but not too sure about it.
t=t0*sqaure root(1-v^2/c^2)
I am not sure if the t or the t0 should be switch on the place or not, which the t0 is the t knot as the way how my professor said it...
Homework Statement
A rocket travels in a straight line with speed 0.6c, where c is the speed of light in a vacuum. A wrist-watch is on board the rocket. The rocket moves past a clock tower on the earth.

I am confuse of what is inertial frame of reference.
Can someone explain that to me?
I need a clear explanation starting from the beginning to the end, and if possible, give me some set of example.
