Lab 13: Activ Physics on Modern Physics

Lab Purpose:
     Do problems on time dilation to assist in complete understanding of the concept.

Part 1: Time Dilation


    
     These problems (work done manually by Austin Ku) were based on time dilation and asked some
     simple questions about the concepts of the dilation.

Part 2: Length Contraction






     These problems dealt with length contraction and many questions were similar in idea to those of
     the time dilation ones. The only interesting one was question 3, equivalent "length" objects must
     have equivalent relative velocities, but we can tell this is not true because one clock is moving
     where as the other is not.
