Homework Statement
An atomic clock moves at 1,000 km/h for 1.00 h as measured by an identical clock on the Earth. At the end of the 1.00 h interval, how many nanseconds slow will the moving clock be compared with the Earth clock?
Homework Equations
(1/ sqr rt 1 - v^2/c^2)
The Attempt at a Solution
1,000 km/h = 278 m/s
Convert the 1,000 km/h to met/sec. first
(1/ sqr rt 1 - v^2/c^2)
= (1/ sqr rt 1 - 278^2/3.00 X 10^8 m/s)
