#13 Relativity

Part 1: Time
Q1: The light traveling on the moving clock passes longer distance than the stationary clock.

Q2: The time required for the moving clock traveling back and forth is longer than the stationary clock.

Q3: On the moving clock, the distance and time is the same as the stationary.

Q4: If the velocity of the moving clock decrease, the difference in time also decreases.
Q5: t = 1.2x(2000/(3x10^8)) = 8x10^(-6), the simulation caters to the calculations.
Q6: 3 x 10^8 x 7.45 x 10^(-6) / 2000 = 1.12

Part 2: Length
Q1: Measuring in the frame, the time is the same for moving and stationary.
Q2: The time measured on earth is longer than the measurement in the light clock.

Q3: They will not be equal.
Q4:  1000 / 1.3 =769 m
