  2. Special Relativity: Worksheet 2 Time Dilation 1. An astronaut is circling the Earth in the ISS at a high speed. He measures the time it takes for a baseball to be thrown up, and fall back down in his Earth gravity simulated environment. On Earth, a NASA engineer observes this event through a telescope, and measures the time for this event as well.

  6. Which student’s answer is consistent with Einstein’s special theory of relativity? In the space below, write your choice and explain your reasoning. VCAA 2007 . A plane travelling relative to the air at a speed of 170 m s–1 is 3.00 km from the control tower. The plane is late because of a headwind of 50 m s–1. To let the control tower ...
