An Undergraduate Test of Gravitational Time Dilation
Brian Patterson, Mario Serna, Jerry F. Sell +11
Students at Colorado College and cadets at the US Air Force Academy have conducted an experimental test of gravitational time dilation. This relativistic effect, highlighted in the…
Measurement of Gravitational Time Dilation: An Undergraduate Research Project
M. Shane Burns, Michael D. Leveille, Armand R. Dominguez +10
General relativity predicts that clocks run more slowly near massive objects. The effect is small---a clock at sea level lags behind one 1000 m above sea level by only 9.4 ns/day.…
A spaceship with a thruster - one body, one force
Scott C. Dudley, Mario A. Serna
A spaceship with one thruster producing a constant magnitude force is analyzed for various initial conditions. This elementary problem, with one object acted upon by one force, has…
