Q: If each pendulum is part of a clock, suchthat every oscillation of the pendulum corresponds to a tick of theclock, when observed from earth, which clock runs faster? the clock on earth the clock on the spaceship neither; the two clocks show the same time If each pendulum is part of a clock, suchthat every oscillation of the pendulum corresponds to a tick of theclock, when observed from earth, which clock runs faster? the clock on earth the clock on the spaceship neither; the two clocks show the same time the clock on earth the clock on the spaceship neither; the two clocks show the same time the clock on earth the clock on the spaceship neither; the two clocks show the same time the clock on earth the clock on the spaceship neither; the two clocks show the same time the clock on earth the clock on the spaceship neither; the two clocks show the same time the clock on earth the clock on the spaceship neither; the two clocks show the same time the clock on earth the clock on the spaceship neither; the two clocks show the same time the clock on earth the clock on the spaceship neither; the two clocks show the same time the clock on earth the clock on the spaceship neither; the two clocks show the same time the clock on earth the clock on the spaceship neither; the two clocks show the same time the clock on earth the clock on the spaceship neither; the two clocks show the same time the clock on earth the clock on the spaceship neither; the two clocks show the same time

Explanation / Answer

Because of effect of time dilation, a clock moving with respect to an observer appears to run more slowly than a clock that is at rest in the observer's frame. When observed from earth, the pendulum on the spaceship takes longer to complete one oscillation. Therefore, the clock associated with that pendulum will run slower than the clock associated with the pendulum on earth. So the answer is a) the clock on earth
