looks like I might have got it the answer is .9c. Thanks!

Thank you for that. Now I guess the rest is math in isolating the only variable left, but its not happening for me. Do you mind helping me a bit further?

If I am not mistaken, the ratio as stated in the original question is what you are asking for. That, I think would be 1/2 where Δt=1 and Δt'=2. Also my original post was missing a variable, which I'm sure you are aware of. It should read Δt=Δt'/√1-β^2 Sorry for the confusion.

Homework Statement At what speed relative to a laboratory does a clock tick at half the rate of an identical clock at rest in the laboratory. Give your answer as a fraction of c (speed of light) Homework Equations Δt=Δt'/√1-^2 The Attempt at a Solution My professor assigned this...

I don't know if that is the max speed without slipping. I know that it is the Force of friction with the known. Would that change the answer?

could you look again, I just edited it. thanks

The Known: Mass=2000kg Velocity=50m/s Radius=1000m With the given information the lab worksheet I'm working on is asking me to deduce the coefficient of friction so that I can manipulate the data and answer some questions. The problem I have is that I am not entirely sure that this could...
