Question

In 1975, an airplane carrying an atomic clock flew back and forth for 15 h15 \mathrm{~h} at an average speed of 140 m/s140 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s} as part of a time-dilation experiment. The time on the clock was compared to the time on an atomic clock kept on the ground. How much time did the airborne clock "lose" with respect to the clock on the ground?

Given values:

  • The speed vv: v=140msv=140\,\dfrac{\text{m}}{\text{s}}

  • The time interval Δt\Delta t is Δt=15h\Delta t=15\,\text{h}

We need to determine.

The lost time due to the relative motion: tLt_L?
