Time Dilation of Particles A & B in Gravitational Field

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... :)

1. The Big Idea: According to Einstein’s relativity, all motion is relative. You can’t tell if you’re moving at a constant velocity without looking outside. But what if there is a universal “rest frame” (like the old idea of the “ether”)? This experiment tries to find out by looking for tiny, directional differences in how objects move inside a sealed box. 2. How It Works: The Two-Stage Process Imagine a perfectly isolated spacecraft (our lab) moving through space at some unknown speed V...

Does the speed of light change in a gravitational field depending on whether the direction of travel is parallel to the field, or perpendicular to the field? And is it the same in both directions at each orientation? This question could be answered experimentally to some degree of accuracy. Experiment design: Place two identical clocks A and B on the circumference of a wheel at opposite ends of the diameter of length L. The wheel is positioned upright, i.e., perpendicular to the ground...
