Hi!
I have difficulty with the English language but will try my best. I have recently begun to study the theory of special relativity. , I understand what the relativity of time is, relativity of length and Lorentz transformations. But I still have difficulty with solving data and do not know how I should think. I am grateful if anyone can help me. Let me give an example;On New Year's Day 2500 gives the astronaut Tom off exploring in the expanse. He takes off with speed 0,6c. After four years of traveling away from the Earth (according to him), she witnesses a live television broadcast of the New Year celebrations on earth. This did her to begin long for home. She turns the spaceship and steer back toward Earth with the same speed as before, and is home for another four years.
a) How much time has elapsed on Earth during her absence?
b) What is the New Year celebration was Astrid watched on TV before she turned?
c) During the entire trip home sits Astrid front of the TV and giggle when she witnesses the continuous direct broadcast television programs from the earth. How many times quickly moves everything on Astrid's telescreen during her journey home?
I can solve A without any problem and get the right answer but then I want to solve b and c, it becomes total blockage in the brain, a complete misfit. I do not know how to think. Can anyone help me with how to do and think? what steps need to be understood and what is actually happens. I have no ide how to solve b and c. I'am very grateful if someone can help me. Thanking you in advance!
