Hi,

may I ask you about a help (or where to find proper study materials)?

I have two particles - A and B. A is moving at constant velocity in a gravitational field with constant acceleration (due to gravity). B is moving on spiral trajectory at accelerated velocity in a gravitational field with changing acceleration (due to gravity). What would be the time dilation for A and B?

Thank you very much!

Well if A is moving at a constant velocity then its not accelerating?
 
Suppose two velocities v1 and v2, eg. v1 = 5 km.s-1 and v2 = 10t km.s-1 (acceleration times time, time integration).
 
But maybe, who is then accelerating... :)
