Homework Statement
At what speed does a clock have to move in order to run at a rate which is one half that of a clock at rest?
Homework Equations
[tex]\Delta T = \gamma \Delta T_0[/tex]
The Attempt at a Solution
For clocks to run at half it's spd,
[tex]\Delta T = 2 \Delta T_0[/tex]
[tex]\gamma = 2[/tex]
which works out to v = 0.866c
Is this correct?
Qns 2 :
i saw in the physics formulay list this :
Clock desynchronization: Moving clocks, synchronized in their rest frame but separated by a distance D along their direction of motion, are not synchronized in the stationary frame; The front clock lags the rear clock by an amount:
[tex]T = Dv/c^2[/tex]
What does it mean?
If 2 clocks are moving at the same spd, shouldn't they run in the same time as well and should be synchronized?
Any help will be appreciated.
