Suppose youre an astronaut being paid according to the time you spend traveling in space. You take a long voyage traveling at a speed near that of light. Upon your return to Earth, youre asked how youd like to be paid: according to the time elapsed on a clock on Earth or according to your ships clock. To maximize your paycheck, which should you choose? (a) The Earth clock (b) The ship's clock (c) Either clock because it doesnt make a difference
1) Two identical atomic clocks are manufactured at a factory. One clock remains at the factory, and the other is transported across the country to a physics lab. When the clock arrives at the physics lab, it reads 9:00 a.m. At this same time, does the clock at the factory read a time that is before 9:00 a.m., equal to 9:00 a.m., or after 9:00 a.m.? Explain. 2) Suppose you are a traveling salesman for SSC, the Spacely Sprockets Company. You travel on a spaceship that reaches speeds near the speed of light, and you are paid by the hour. (a) When you return to Earth after a sales trip, would you prefer to be paid according to the clock at Spacely Sprockets universal headquarters on Earth, according to the clock on the spaceship in which you travel, or would your pay be the same in either case? Your goal is to get paid as much as possible. (b) Choose the best explanation from among the following: I. You want to be paid according to the clock on Earth, because the clock on the spaceship…
