Chapter 26, Problem 7Q

To determine

Time actually passes more slowly in the moving reference frame

Answer to Problem 7Q

Solution:

Yes Time actually passes more slowly in the moving reference frame

Explanation of Solution

Time actually been measured to pass more slowly moving reference frame, as predicted by special relativity

Special relativity time dilation

$T_0={\left[1-\frac{v^2}{c^2}\right]}^{\frac{1}{2}}T$

$T$=time measured on moving body

$T_0$=time measured on stat5ionary body

$v$=velocity

$c$=speed of light
