at what speed, as a fraction of c , does a moving clock tick at half the rate of an identical clock at rest?

Respuesta :

The speed of the clock tick at the half rate of an identical clock at rest is 87% of the speed of light.

Time dilation :

[tex]\gamma = \sqrt\frac{1}{1 - \frac{v^2}{c^2}}[/tex]

where,

v = velocity

c = speed of light

c = 3 x 10⁸ m/s.

First we need something for 2 = √(a)

So we calculate 4 = 1 / b

knowing that we need a 4.

The answer is 0.25

when we try to calculate 1/b = 4.

We now understand that b = [tex]\sqrt{1 - \frac{v}{c}}[/tex]

Again. 1 - d = 0.25.

resulting in a d of 0.75.

We now have,

0.75 = [tex]\sqrt\frac{v}{c}[/tex]

√(0.75) = v/c,

v/c = 0.866

or 86.6% of the speed of light.

The speed of the clock tick at the half rate of an identical clock at rest is 87% of the speed of light.
