Question 429660: Albert Einstein in his theory of relativity showed that if a person travels at nearly the speed of light, then time slows down significantly. Suppose that there are twins; one remains on Earth and the other leaves in a very fast spaceship having velocity v. If the twin on Earth ages T0 years, then according to Einstein the twin in the spaceship ages T years, where
T(v) = T�0 sqrt 1-(v/c) squared
In this formula c represents the speed of light, which is 186,000 miles per second.
(a) Evaluate T when v = 0.8c (eight-tenths the speed of light) and T�0 = 10 years.
(Hint: Simplify without using 186,000 miles per second.)
(b) Interpret your result.
