what effect would increasing the speed of the spacecraft have on the astronaut's pulse as measured by the astronaut and by the Earth observer? why. I think in both measurements, an increased pulse rate will be found?..
rojasharma said:so...the astronaut will observe ...her pulse being slowed down?...:Sstill confused
rojasharma said:righttt...i think i said i know to somthing else...
The Special Theory of Relativity, also known as the Theory of Special Relativity, is a fundamental theory in physics developed by Albert Einstein in 1905. It explains how objects move at high speeds and how time and space are affected by these movements.
The key principles of the Special Theory of Relativity are the constancy of the speed of light, the relativity of simultaneity, and the equivalence of mass and energy (E=mc^2). These principles form the foundation of the theory and help explain the behavior of objects moving at high speeds.
The Special Theory of Relativity deals with objects moving at constant speeds in a straight line, while the General Theory of Relativity deals with objects that are accelerating or experiencing gravity. The Special Theory of Relativity is a special case of the General Theory of Relativity.
The Special Theory of Relativity has many practical applications, including the development of GPS technology, nuclear energy, and particle accelerators. It also helps scientists understand the behavior of particles at high speeds and has led to advancements in space travel.
There have been many experiments conducted to test the Special Theory of Relativity, including the Michelson-Morley experiment, the Kennedy-Thorndike experiment, and the Hafele-Keating experiment. These experiments have all confirmed the principles of the theory and have helped further our understanding of the universe.
