    Understanding Velocity Addition Laws for People on Train & Ground

    Sorry I was multitasking while posting the first time.## VBLA = VBLT + VTA ## = ## VBLT = VBLA - VTA ## When using the example ## VBLT = VBLA - VTA## velocity addition on the right hand of the equal sign of the equal sign, does the right hand of the equal sign always need to equal the...

    Understanding Velocity Addition Laws for People on Train & Ground

    Sorry I took a break from physics for a while I got busy and just have a followup/ confirmation question. Where ball 1 or B_1 is the left ball. Also obviously Alice is on the ground seeing the train move at velocity v in the right direction. ## VPA = VTA -(VB_1A) ## , when using velocity...

    B Calculating Time Dilation w/ Light Clock - Implications & Mistakes?

    I think I meant to say horizontal component. Saying vertical component was just a mistype. Whoops.

    B Calculating Time Dilation w/ Light Clock - Implications & Mistakes?

    In this picture it shows a light clock. Let's use the moving light clock example. Am I essentially calculating the b component of moving clock. Assume the moving frame is the B frame. Assume the stationary frame is the A frame https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light_clock Or essentially the b...

    I Light Clock Relativity: Why Divide T_moving/T_stationary?

    Thanks for the excellent explanation it was very clear now. Question for anyone. In this picture it shows a light clock. Let's use the moving light clock example. Am I essentially calculating the b component of moving clock. Assume the moving frame is the B frame. Assume the stationary frame is...

    I Light Clock Relativity: Why Divide T_moving/T_stationary?

    Why does it need to be a function of v? And what do you mean by a function of v?

    I Light Clock Relativity: Why Divide T_moving/T_stationary?

    In special relativity I can get ## \gamma ## , ## \frac {T_B}{T_A}=\gamma ## Why do I not go ##{T_B} - {T_A} = \gamma## ? ##T_B = \frac {2H} {c^2 - v^2}## . ## T_B ## is the moving light clock. ## T_A = \frac {2H} {c^2} ## . ##T_A ## is the stationary light clockI assume LaTeX doesn't work...

    Is Removing c from the Square Root in This Equation Correct?

    RSOTE = right side of the equation. Okay the RSOTE you just mentioned is confusing me. Can you explain it? The confusing part is the c's. ## \frac c { \sqrt{ { c } } } = 1 ## I guess it is kind of self explained. Thanks I think the title needs a change.| I just have 1 question in special...

    Is Removing c from the Square Root in This Equation Correct?

    Ya the squre root was just a typo. My question is am I on the right track? I can also cancels out the c's.

    Is Removing c from the Square Root in This Equation Correct?

    What I mean is that ## \frac {c} {c } = 1 ## . Both H's are the same.part 1 ## \frac {T_B} {T_A} = \frac{\frac{2h}{c^2-v^2}}{\frac{ 2h} {c}} ## part 2 Then I performed algebra rules 10 https://algebrarules.com/## \frac {T_B} {T_A} = \frac {(2h)(c^2- v^2)}{(2h)(c} ## part 3 Then I use...

    Is Removing c from the Square Root in This Equation Correct?

    I am trying to get gamma. so iow's ## \frac {T_B} {T_A } = gamma## I would have to do the calculations. I guess I am asking am I am on the right track? Sure I will show my math. Let me make a new post.

    Is Removing c from the Square Root in This Equation Correct?

    I am trying to solve ##T_B = \frac {2h} {\sqrt {v^2 - c^2} } ## ,##T_A = \frac {2h} {c} ## Then I need to divide TB by TA. This is in reference to special relativity deriving time dilation. I managed to reduce it to ## \frac {T_B} {T_A} = \frac {( 2h)(c)} { \sqrt {(2h)( v^2 - c^2)} } ## ...
